Hello everyone, within the next 14 days we will decide on the access to the house.
The challenge: the location for the carport will be about 8m (26 feet) above street level. We can build a 60–70m (197–230 feet) driveway up to the carport. The remaining 2.5m (8 feet) to reach the height of the ground floor is not intended for daily vehicle use.
How would you design the access path? We prefer a surface with minimal sealing and would like a cost-effective solution. Since the infiltration trench (soakaway) at the beginning of the property is sized to handle some sealing, that is not an issue. To allow the carpenters to reach the construction site, the access path will initially be covered with crushed stone and compacted. After that, the final solution will be applied, and I am asking for input on this.
What ideas do you have?
Thanks and regards,
Max.

For an environmentally friendly and cost-effective driveway to the carport, I recommend permeable paving stones or grass pavers. These options reduce surface sealing and allow rainwater to infiltrate. For temporary access, a gravel base that is compacted is practical and can later be upgraded with the final ecological solution.
