Why would you do this? (New driveway design)

[Joe5y]

Okay, I’ve seen worse but why? The house wasn’t built in 2023 and yes the drive was but why date it? Surely it’s facing the wrong way also?

• wrong forum clearly! Sorry.

It’s so they remember what year it is when they wake up in the morning.

[Caddyshack]

Some grown up humans are really odd.

It will have been whoever done the driveway that came up with idea. Come January there will be a knock in the door, "sir, your driveway is out of date and needs redone"

[The Gauge]

Maybe it's their bank card PIN?

[PositronicRay]

Perhaps they passed off the installer.

[Zarco]

That is horrendous.

[Ham_and_Jam]

Houses either side are 2021 and 2025?

[LordHaveMurci]

Somebody is buried under there.

Or it’s their house number

When he gets up in the morning and pulls the curtains back & looks at his work and reminder of the date it will make him all hard for his missus ...

Clearly looking to open a side business in car sales with that driveway.

What makes you say that? Just seems like a reasonably large driveway? These days children are at home so much longer it's easy to end up with four or more cars at the one house, so having plenty of parking is useful.

That is definitely odd and if it's to signify the year for some reason, it's also rather naff!

If it was the house number, you'd imagine they'd have the number outward facing.

Corner to corner driveway over the front "garden" is grim.

Astroturf rear garden with plastic Keter shed?

[Flog123]

Reminds me of the building near us with the house number on the roof.

But then installed solar panels.

Looks like part of an industrial estate.

[LordGrover]

Looks like double yellows around the borders too.
