I would love to...Thanks for the congratulations! <br /><br />I would love to see more green parking lots. I bike around town, noticing alleys, parking lots and driveways with run-off problems, and wonder how I can spread the word. <br /> <br />What's next? Well, if money were no object, I'd be looking into installing a green roof on our flat roof. For now, I'll content myself with mowing my green lawn, attending an upcoming plant, produce and seed exchange, and making plans to plant our front slope with native perennials. <br /><br />Shannon, a lot depends on your budget, but you might consider using a gravel paving system for that shady, sloped driveway. You can get heating units installed so it doesn't need to be shoveled. Not exactly inexpensive though. I was just out at Winterthur, and they are replacing their impermeable asphalt with a permeable blacktop. It can be shoveled or plowed and can withstand frequent traffic. Maybe a permeable, plowable cement?Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05466503038684190583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056508272992234931.post-63127569154516537672009-09-02T09:16:34.035-04:002009-09-02T09:16:34.035-04:00Brava!

I will keep looking, since your story proves the old adage, "Where there's a will there's a way!"<br /><br />ShannonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949292737805337283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056508272992234931.post-68521516140991881822009-09-01T23:10:04.194-04:002009-09-01T23:10:04.194-04:00This is awesome.

I'm thrilled that we played a part in inspiring you! <br /><br />Our green driveway has helped with our water issues too. We waterproofed around our house, put in a bigger sump pump, "naughty french" drains ;-) and even new drains to the "stack" (a term I didn't know until we needed to put the drain to it). Like yours, it's been quite an adventure!<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your tremendous story. What's next?<br /><br />Franke JamesFrankeJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406431454681451960noreply@blogger.com
