You're not *really* rich until ...

[George K]

... you have to hire people to mow your driveway.

You know you're not in Minnesoooooota, aka Minnesnowta, when you see a driveway like that.

[George K]

@brenda actually, this is in Chicago - Lincoln Park area.

Can you imagine that in winter?

[brenda]

@George-K
Wow, no, I can't imagine how that works, but if you're rich enough to hire everything done, I suppose you can hire someone else to both imagine it and figure out how to make it work.

It almost looks like it's for a complex of some sort. That's a lot of garages.

[Aqua Letifer]

I don't get the problem. It looks like porous pavement.

[brenda]

Could be that there is a heating system underneath to thaw the ice and snow, but any salt would be a non-no.

Ice and snow removal without damaging the grass or the raised pavers.

If it's porous pavement, the point wouldn't be to have grass. The point would be the drainage you're talking about.

[Copper]

I think that kind of pavement was somewhat common in Boston. At least it looks familiar to me.

I agree, I think it is done for drainage.

They make an interlocking system for a driveway that uses gravel.
