Driveway idea

I know this is a garden path, but had thought to do something similiar in my driveway with the boards that can't be reused from the pallets and my various other projects. The ground here (South Louisiana) is soft and usually pretty wet and easy to tear up especially during the rainy season (11 months out of the year).  Concrete and asphalt hold so much heat and look so sterile, this appeals to me so much more.
