Starting a car park project in the middle of winter? Not exactly our best-timed idea—but sometimes you don’t get a choice!
After getting our car completely stuck during an especially wet spell, we realised something had to change… and just like that, the car park project was born.
We brought in an excavator to dig out the area, which quickly turned into less of a worksite and more of a mud pool (calling it a mud bath would be generous!). Once the ground was prepared, we laid down Type 1 hardcore and compacted it as best we could with a wacker plate.
At that point, the only sensible option was to let nature take its course and give the ground time to dry—assuming the rain would ever stop. Around five weeks later, we finally had our window. With the help of the excavator once again, we spread the decorative gravel into place.
And just like that, Lac Bundy’s car park was complete—much to our surprise and relief!
