It's the Highclere Castle episode from Friday/Sunday. Around 10mins in they field a question about a drive. Haven't worked out how to post links from the new Sounds app.
Their suggestion is basically what you've said. Sort of a farm track style. Iirc the suggestion of ferns is because they'll tolerate being covered.
Sensibly one of them points out to leave enough room around the parking bit to get out and around the car to the boot etc.
This is very interesting.
I want to 'hide' our driveway which sits in a large front garden. I was thinking of reducing it to two strips of hard surface (concrete or brick etc) and then fill the strip in the middle and surrounding edges with a nice ground cover that would even flower at times.
