Comments:
Gravel can also be used to reduce impervious surfaces and provide a place for stormwater to infiltrate in a driveway. While many new homes have large 2 car width driveways, this narrow drive contains only two strips of impervious surface.

Comments:
Large evergreen trees absorb and evapotranspirate a large amount of stormwater runoff. This driveway successfully saved a large tree near the garage by narrowing the pavement width.

Shared driveways are common throughout Portland. They reduce paving costs, minimize impervious surfaces, and increase yard space.
