Driveway and Effect on Resale

[Edward Barnes]

Currently have a gravel U-shaped driveway that wraps around the back of the house. It's a little awkward because it hugs the back of the house tight, between the house and a large oak tree. There's a concrete slab at the base of the stairs out the back door that goes into the driveway some and then oak tree roots themselves make it a little bumpy ride. I'm thinking of doing away with it and just keep the one driveway and some kind of turn around. Just wanted to see what people's thoughts were on this. Some people seem to think they're great, which I'm inclined to agree with, assuming it's in a space that works. Just seems to be poorly done, makes the lot seem smaller, and it's just a lot to maintain. Any thoughts?
