Learned a new lesson about car care yesterday, the hard way. My car has
accelerated corrosion of the chassis which the mechanics say is a result
of my parking the car for extended periods over grassy areas.
I've got about a half acre lot. Driveway is single car wide. Although
I could extend it I can't widen it very easily.
Instead I'm considering building some sort of parking pad in the
backyard where I was parking the car. Likely concrete, concrete pavers,
or perhaps asphalt.
Any recommendations or suggestions? Low cost, low maintenance, and
durability all a plus.
Concrete - durable, looks good, low maintenance, high initial cost
Asphalt - durable, some maintenance, cost less than concrete
Pavers - Some maintenance, weed growth in cracks, low cost
gravel - high maintenance, low cost
