Hello,
I have purchased a newly built semi-detached house.
The houses are all built next to each other with garages in between.
There is a 1-meter (3 feet) gap between the two garages—1 meter (3 feet) for my neighbor and 1 meter (3 feet) for me.
I would like to install a garden gate in this gap, but according to the development plan, this strip must be permanently greened.
Now my question is:
What kind of path am I allowed to build so that I can walk alongside the garage while it still legally counts as green space?
The path should be low-maintenance (I don’t like grass because my robotic lawn mower can’t reach it).
Do you have any tips for me?

Unfortunately, it’s too late to make changes after moving in.
If there is no suitable solution, we will have to install a door behind the garage, which will cost an additional 1,500€ (euros).
What can I do now to build a path that meets the following requirements:
It must legally count as permanently greened (due to the development plan / planning permission).
It must be easy to walk on.
You must be able to push bicycles over it.
Wheelbarrows should be able to pass over it for garden renovations.
All the above must also be possible in the rain without getting stuck in mud. Does a gravel lawn, as already suggested, meet these requirements?

sorry,
I forgot to mention it should require no maintenance, so no lawn mowing in front of the house.It doesn’t need to be mowed often; it hardly gets any maintenance at all. Even green concrete requires work – it has to be swept and kept free of moss.
