Circular Driveways

When I was growing up in Los Angeles, having a circular driveway meant that 'you had arrived'. We did not have a circular driveway, nor did we live 'south of the Boulevard'. ...Valley talk for those of you who are in the know. 

Land in California is very expensive, thus if you had a large enough lot to stretch your driveway from end to end on your property....times were good. I think the perception has changed for many people, and circular driveways can be quite beautiful and functional. 

Fast forward, when we were designing our landscaping plan with our landscape architect, he asked us if we wanted a circular driveway? You can see in this picture that we did not put one in. By the way, I use the term 'we' and 'us' to be kind to my husband. For the record, he never met the landscape architect nor did he have input on the design.....and you all know that he doesn't read my blog. 

I turned down the idea of a circular driveway for this home because I wanted more green landscaping. I was afraid WE would get lazy and always park the cars right in front of the home, thus never seeing the front porch or door.

Circular driveways seem to be popular in Florida. I guess there is probably one in my future. 

How do you feel about circular driveways?
