I had the same issue getting to my garage.
No sidewalk straight to the driveway from the fort door.
We wore a path in the grass until I put down a narrow paver walkway.
That was a lot of work, even doing it wrong.

That reminds me of a story about architects who designed a college
campus. They put up all the buildings but didn't put in any sidewalks.
They waited a few years until the students wore paths in the grass to
show where to put the sidewalks.


sounds like a story. Not likely any codes people would allow it to really
happen.

I agree with Steve but the University of Kentucky does come back and add
sidewalks to popular paths on occasion.

Think about it. Think of the house keeping costs saved by keeping the mud
off the floors. Makes sense.
