The days of contractors getting mired in the slick red mud are finally over. The circular driveway was graded and crush and run was laid down to create a more definitive driveway. The circle has a 70-foot-diameter, the exact distance required by delivery trucks to ease with co-op or feed drop-offs. We'd like to widen it just a bit more on the side nearest the garage, and eventually we'll get higher-grade gravel put down. We're thinking about what to put in the center of the circle...a small garden? Decorative vegetation? A large rock? Here's a couple of progress shots:
We also had them grade and lay down some gravel on the west side of the garage to create a parking pad. The garage is full of our stuff from the ongoing move so it will be a while before a car actually gets parked in there!

After visiting China this fall I am in favor of the large rock idea. If you take a look at some of the beautiful Chinese gardens they frequently feature a large piece of rock.
I, too, like Japanese/Chinese gardens, but we may need to keep the center of the circle somewhat clear until we've actually had delivery trucks (big semis) test out their turning radius.
