I am planning to turn my front lawn into a drive.
I have already removed the small tree and bush as marked in photo
tinyurl.com/oo3dhdu
It's approx 22 sq m.
My plan is to lift the grass, lay a fabric membrane and order 2 x bulk bags of some sort of stone chip (20mm) - Red seems to be cheapest, White 'Cotswold' not much extra.
Some questions
I've never lifted turf - any tips?
I've been parking the car on it (may or may not have been a good idea before lifting the grass, or may just have been poitless?) for the last week or so to see if it sinks (It doesn't), so Membrane then Stone chips - will that be OK?
Will 2 'bulk' bags be enough (places selling seem to suggest 10 sq m per bag), any real life experience?
Anything else I should be looking at considering my option above will be less than £150
