How Important is a Nice Driveway?

Does your driveway add or detract from your home’s overall appeal? Most people forget about their driveway when designing a new landscape for their home, but a driveway can dramatically impact a home’s aesthetic appeal. With the right material, a driveway will not only add curb appeal to your property but can also increase the value of your home. Here are a few materials you may want to consider using for your new driveway.

Pavers: Pavers come in a wide variety of colors and designs that will pull the complete look of a property together. Complement the style of your home, with a natural stone paver. You can also add a pop of color to your yard with a colored paver. For example, a travertine gold paver would add an accent that would really catch the eye of an onlooker.

Basalt Tiles: Basalt is a natural rock that makes up much of the ocean's crust, creating a natural and sleek look. Basalt is gray/black in color and very durable. A house with a modern design with light to medium gray or off-white siding would go perfectly with a basalt driveway.

Brick: Add a warm rich tone to your yard with a brick driveway. Brick will give your driveway a timeless and classic look. Brick has a positive impact on your home's value, giving it a timeless look, and is easy to maintain. The material is not only sturdy but will also last for years to come. If you have a colonial or Victorian style house a brick driveway would be an excellent choice of material.
