The Value & The Costs of
Parking Courts

The Value

Unlike a simple driveway, a parking court is a spacious area designed for the maneuvering and parking of multiple vehicles. This feature is practical for homeowners who entertain guests frequently, have large families, or collect cars. A parking court often adds a layer of privacy and security, keeping vehicles out of sight from the street and creates an uncluttered look to the home’s entrance.

The Costs

The costs associated with developing a parking court sometimes go beyond those of a standard driveway. They often encompass the design and construction of elements that keep them out of sight from the home and/or the street. This might include retaining walls, landscaping, custom paving, and/or lighting. Additionally, some homeowners may want to create additional paths of entry into the home from the parking court which could mean the addition of exterior stairs, pathways, and/or interior hallways. As with all landscape design elements, considerations for weather, drainage, and the sustainable management of water runoff can also add to the expense.
