Side-Load Garage Turning-Radius Aprons on Pinellas Lots
A side-load garage looks smaller on a survey than it drives in real life. The outside rear tire tracks a much wider arc than the door width. PaverForge Hardscapes lays those aprons from the turning template, not from the old concrete rectangle.
Layout that cars can actually use
String the swing of the longest vehicle the owner parks, including a boat trailer if one lives here.
Hold a soldier or sailor course on the outside radius so the cut field does not unravel.
Keep the low point at the street, not against the neighbor's fence line.
Pinellas specifics
On 50-foot lots the extra radius often eats the only planting strip. We recapture that with a narrow planter pocket and a root barrier instead of paving the entire side yard. Flood-zone lots get the same two-percent pitch; we do not flatten the field to make the turn look symmetric.
