Thanks much, guys!
I am not sure whether to call it a ramp as the level difference goes very smoothly... but I do appreciate your help.
Regarding your parking spot suggestions, have you done it before? How?
I will try the most to do it myself, as I am trying to save... but I definitely want something low maintenance.
I like pavers best (looks better overall) but no asphalt, please. Concrete is also an option I might consider.
I would suggest you install bricks/pavers just where the tires will roll-over. This will give you a year or two to decide if you want to do something which will cost more and have possible drainage/maintenance issues. In the meantime, your tires won't tear-up or sink into the lawn and you've spent little time or money.
I did it with gravel only and it works fine. It requires a little manitaince but not much. Our little parkign pad is partly on our neighbor's property (vacant). We had to use gravel so I can move it off their property if they ever do anything wihtthe land and complain about our encroachment. Simple gravel could benefit you in the same way, If you do not like the locaiton you choose, you and always scrape it up and move it.
What did you put underneath the pavers and gravel?!
I have seen this guy installing pavers on TV and there were 10 different layers underneath, I got lost and did not really understand it.
I heard gravel rolls out or sinks completely, is it true?!

Gravel will sink; the speed of which is reduced as the depth of the gravel layer is increased. It also depends, to some extent, an the density of the soil beneath the gravel.
