Landscape/hardscaper or a brick layer for a brick parking spot extending from my driveway?

We have 2 teen drivers and need an extra parking spot. Their friends park in an area of grass in between the side of our driveway and a small flowerbed that lines the side of our house. This patch of grass is getting torn up, and it it just looks bad that they park in the grass even though it’s set way back from the road.
We have a lot of leftover old Saint Louis reds from our renovation of the house. So i was thinking about using those or maybe just using aggregate like our existing driveway.
Anyway, who do i call for this? A landscaper who does hardscapes like patios, courtyards, garden walls etc, or a bricklayer, or a driveway company?

Sounds like you have your workers. Buy the materials and put them kids to work

One is a spastic Mensa girl who can’t seem to drive without wrecking. You’d likely NEVER know she’s smart until you look at her scores. She’s reallllly uncoordinated.
The other one a teen boy. He’s good for work, but I don’t think I can trust either of them with a leveler. I worry about drainage issues if not done properly by professionals.

I’m doing something similar. I’ll show ya pics of what I’ve made, and how easy it is. You just need some sand, bricks, 2X4’s, a shovel, rake, wheel barrow, and some limestone.
You don’t need a landscaper.

Landscape Baton Rouge will do a great job for you.

My neighbors just did something similar. They used Me-Moe's Lawn and Landscape.

I used to do landscaping that is a simple job. Call them over brick layer most should be able to do that job in a day with little trouble.

Do a porous paving cell and fill with concrete. If you do bricks it will get all messed up since I doubt they will do a proper foundation.

If in BR go by white star market, they have it as their parking lot

I saw that and it looks cool but it won’t really “go” with our house. patio people or driveway people should be able to make a proper foundation for old brick??
I’ll call a builder and see what they say

Like anything, the major key is a strong foundation.
A landscaper can do it if you are going with a stone base.
If it were me, I would do a concrete sub base with mortar set pavers/bricks.
This will require a concrete guy and a paver guy/bricklayer.
