Drawing of driveway with dimensions. Will Sasquatch fit??

[jaruss01]

So I have a 1930s house that had a very narrow driveway. A couple years ago we maxed out the width as much as possible. Not sure if the width of the Sasquatch will fit. What do you think?

We have a single file two car setup on the side of the house. The most important thing is we need to pull in and back out straight with enough room for strollers to maneuver through as well as gardeners with lawnmowers. Same with guys taking out trash. This is my only route to get access to the backyard.

My Subaru is 72” wide. And we have a just enough comfortable fit on either side. The gardeners have only nicked the side once in three years. However I was never planning on putting a Sasquatch in the driveway at 79.3”, 7” wider losing 3.5” each side.

What do you guys think? Is this going to get beaten to hell by lawnmowers and strollers?

use some painters tape to attach four inches of Styrofoam to each side of the subaru at critical spots and try driving in it and out, moving lawnmowers and the like

Problem is. I don’t mow my own lawn. I’m relying on the landscaping company to play it safe. That’s the most dangerous part about it. I don’t think this will work to be honest. But I also think a sas with unpainted flares has me sleeping better at night than an OBX slightly narrower with painted flares

Haha incredibly busy finishing off work before the holidays. This took me 10 minutes. It’s just the way my mind works. I’m very technical. But is the #1 thing holding me back from going sas

Have you considered putting some extra landscaping/mulch on the driver side of the yard to act as a buffer and safety zone from speedy lawnmowers?

Why does your driveway have a curb? Never seen that before.

Solution. Cut your own grass. ?

What do you mean? The Belgian block pavers?

Can you put another gate in the backyard someplace so they can avoid the driveway completely? Or pull the truck to the street end or in the street on cutting day? (Might need to do a ramp into driveway from the side for the equipment)

Yes I agree...

Either that or park to the side along the edge/curb and you will be fine.

Here’s the latest photo I have when we replaced a tree. You could see where the Subaru stands and the two ‘hallways’ on either side for mowers to get through around to the back of the house. There’s not enough room to access backyard on left side of house given landscaping and trees etc

Maybe? The stones along the edge of the driveway. No room for error backing out.

Can’t. Wife needs the clearance for baby seat on passenger side
