There might come a point in your life when you can’t stop staring out of your living room window and feeling embarrassed by the state of your driveway. The growing weeds, the cracked brickwork, the grime all over the surface: all of these things can combine to cause you to spend nights worrying about what the neighbours must think of your home’s unattractive exterior.
We all dream of having that perfect driveway, and so it’s only a matter of time until you pick up the phone and call us here at Stone Made Drives. However, there is such a wide range of different driveways available to you, that you’d be forgiven for feeling a little unsure of which one to go for.
Deciding on the right surface material is a huge decision that requires a lot of thought, so we thought we’d put together a little guide for you.
Paved Driveways: If you’re after a sophisticated driveway that oozes elegance and class, then you should certainly have a good think about getting one that’s paved. With a huge array of colours and designs at your disposal, a paved driveway really lets you pack your driveway with character, and you’ll be able to pick out whichever style suits the aesthetics of your outdoor space. This is one of the pricier options- however, it is also very durable, meaning you’ll make a saving in the long run.
Asphalt: This will be perfect for any homeowners wanting to achieve a simplistic driveway which is also incredibly reliable. Asphalt only comes in black, so you don’t have as many options available as with other materials- however, this is perfect for anyone not wanting any fuss with their driveway installation. It needs very little maintenance and, due to its dark colour, will never appear damaged!
Concrete: If you’re after a durable, professional-looking driveway that doesn’t look too flashy, then you might want to think about concrete. Notorious for its bland appearance and robust qualities, you can now get a concrete driveway that is customised to look like other material types.
Brick: Perfect for a homeowner that wants to add a dash of colour and flamboyant style to their driveway, brick provides you with an opportunity to stamp your own personality on your outdoor space. With an array of different colours and patterns, a brick driveway is a sure-fire way of drawing the eye for all the right reasons. Durable and providing a whole host of long term benefits, a brick driveway is great for anyone who wants a stylish new driveway.
Here at Stone Made, we provide the best concrete driveways Lancashire has to offer, and are comfortable working with all of the above materials- and many more! If you want to install the driveway of your dreams, then don’t hesitate to get in touch!
