Are you thinking about resurfacing your driveway? If your current driveway is damaged, weather-beaten and looks outdated, going ahead with an upgrade can instantly improve the kerb appeal of your home.
Here are three things to consider when laying a new driveway.
What type of finish do you want?
There is more than one option for laying a new driveway including concrete, stone, paving and more. You should think carefully about the type of driveway you want. Your driveway should fit seamlessly with the exterior of your home whether its modern or traditional. For example, loose stone might be fitting in a more rural home whereas concrete could be ideal for a city home.
How is your driveway going to be used?
It may seem obvious that your driveway has one a few purposes such as being a place to park your car or acting as the area leading up to your home. However, these are important factors to consider. Your driveway shouldn’t be overlooked as the way it’s going to be used will affect the type of surface you should choose. If you want your driveway to be a space where your kids can play then a flatter surface such as concrete is best – this type of driveway is also great for your vehicle.
Which material is going to be most durable?
With any new installation you must think about durability. Driveways are high traffic areas so wear and tear can occur quite easily from vehicles and generally walking up and down. Think carefully about the type of maintenance that each type of driveway requires before going ahead, so you can find one that’s long lasting. A new driveway is a great investment so make sure it lasts!
