“Around back” parking?

I've seen several shopfront street scenes, and alley scenes, but I can't seem to find anything with a little behind-the-building parking lot. 
 

...Bueller? Bueller?

    If you have a set with front parking, have you checked that you can't just move it to the back, or applying the texture to a plane in the back?

    I've seen some things with the next-to-curb parking, but nothing with the little lot like what I'm after.

    Do you have a picture or something showing what you are after?

    I can see what @SilverGirl is asking for. Essentially a plane with a asphalt cover, strips, a dumpster in a corner, dirt, weeds, maybe a security camera and lights, maybe a fence or an alley behind it. Trying to find a photo of one was crazy, so I went on Google Maps, earth view and captured one that was close enough between two buildings. 

    Edit to add: This would make a great product for a PA actually, there are so many variations possible. Small ones, larger ones, angles, barely any turning radius for larger cars/vans/trucks, decrepit, or newer well-maintained, homeless props left behind during sweeps by cities... and electrical boxes and poles.

    Thank you for posting this... I was trying to find a picture and also coming up dry. But yeah, just this sort of thing.

    With a bit of tweaking of the ground texture this might do:

    Also have a look at the rest of VanishingPoint's store as there are other similar things, 'Alley' being one.

    Some of the products by Dreamlandmodels over at Rendo have buildings with parking in the back but they will need some work with the textures as most are made for Poser. They are great products though and may be worth checking out.

    Yeah, their stuff is a lot more... shall we say... minimalist than what I'm after.

    It's not something I currently need despeately enough to be willing to put a lot of kitbashing into it, but it's definitely a gap if any PA's are looking for inspiration. And I would certainly buy a nice, ready-made one should it become available.
