When most people think about landscaping, their attention turns to the back of their house. They think about all the different things they can do to their garden - but what about the front? We’ve had customers that are really keen on improving their property by boosting the exterior aesthetics on the front side. More often than not, we find that designing a killer driveway is the key to doing this.
So, we’ve got a few tips on what you can do to improve your driveway and really make it stand out:
Choose a gravel surface
There are plenty of options when it comes to the surface of your driveway. Some people have tarmac, others go for polished stone and some like a brickwork effect. But, if you really want to take things one step further, you should opt for gravel. Something like the Tuscan Glow Chippings is a fabulous idea as they bring different colours to the table. The mixture of stones is so visually appealing, and they get the lovely crunch underfoot and tyre as well. With Kelkay gravel you always get something that’s of incredibly high quality, so it adds a seriously impressive style to your home. Instantly, your driveway appears very high-class, which improves your overall curb appeal.
Create an attractive border
An issue with some driveways is that they just don’t seem to really end. They almost blend into the surroundings, which makes them lose their effect. So, one idea is to create an attractive border that helps identify your driveway. This is a classic landscaping technique, and you can use anything to do this. Bushes and plants add a dash of colour, and you could utilise some modern brickwork as well. It brings more organisation to the driveway, which we think make it look even better.

Add some lighting
Lastly, you should think about adding some lighting to your driveway. The best way to do this is with little LED lights that are built into the border. By doing this, you can illuminate the sides of your driveway when the sun goes down. The effect this creates is mind-blowingly brilliant! If you want to make your home stand out, then this is by far and away the best thing you can do.
