Have you ever dreamed of having one of those driveways that are often pictured in magazines? Getting one is not as hard as you think, as it only requires a desire to have one! Moreover, the days are gone when driveways were just considered as a simple passage to the house. Nowadays, a driveway is considered to be the focal point of a habitat that also speaks about your elegant and luxury living style.

So, don’t let your style fade. Think carefully about the design of your driveway, if you want to make a good impression. It should be aesthetic, durable and safe to drive and walk on for many years to come. If you are in the process of designing a grand driveway for your home, follow these five driveway designing tips that are guaranteed to enhance your home’s curb appeal.

Design your driveway using high-quality materials

Design your driveway don’t just install one. Your driveway should not be very simple and common made of black asphalt. You should design it to be trendy and inviting for the guests. There are so many driveway building materials to choose from that are durable, weather-resistant and perfect to add beauty and style to any home exterior.

The materials that you use to construct your driveway goes a long way in giving a great finish. The maintenance and repair can also be reduced if you choose the right coating material. If you are planning to construct a new driveway or reconstruct the existing one, you must use the premium materials and fluoropolymer coating so that you get the best of quality and durability.

Take account of vehicle dynamics

Your vehicles should be able to navigate the driveway easily and safely. So, design your driveway accordingly, adding a few curves and turns to accommodate sweeping motion of turning vehicles. It is better to have a circular turning point somewhere in the middle of your driveway for the smooth turning and passing.

Consider length and location of the driveway

The position of your home, in comparison to your front gates, also needs to be considered, when you are designing a driveway. Straight driveways are often more appropriate if there is only a short distance between the front of your home and the front gate. Whereas, a winding driveway can add interest and privacy if your home is further away from the gate.

Consider pros and cons of different materials

There are mainly three types of materials that are used to create driveways. They all have some pros and cons, have a brief look.

  • Concrete is durable and you can easily create a design on the concrete surface before it sets. The downside of concrete is that it is a bit expensive. You may also be without your drive for several weeks while the concrete sets fully.
  • Asphalt is often used in the creation of driveways, but it can be prone to cracking if it’s not sealed in the right way.
  • Gravel is one of the most affordable materials with which to create a driveway. It’s easy to maintain as there is no surface to crack. But, it can be difficult to clear and clean a gravel driveway.

You need to take all of the pros and cons into account when deciding on the best material to design your driveway.

Landscape your outdoor space

If you are investing money and time in designing a new driveway for your home, it could be a good idea to landscape your entire outdoor space. Creating a more organized and attractive garden around your driveway increases the value to your property, and make it look aesthetically beautiful, modern and trendy.
