My son is likely making an offer on a house. Backyard has a black cap, that from Googling appears to be a backyard sump pump. The yard itself looks fine - all grass, no bald spots etc. But, the driveway adjacent to the yard (it leads to a detached garage) has some metal grating that sure as hell looks like it's a drainage grate. And, the driveway is only paved from the sidewalk up to where it meets the yard; at that point it's crushed rock.
Would this be a deal breaker to buy the house? My son loves being outdoors, and would use the backyard with his 2 kids and dog. Can that crushed rock portion of the driveway be black-topped?
