When you start designing your garden, the first place you start will obviously be the front yard or the first place people see when they walk into a property.
This is why more and more people are applying creativity and landscape design to their driveways, because in most cases this is where your guests enter your home.
It helps to have a driveway that stands out from the rest and that makes your guests want to know more.
Landscaping a driveway entails considering all the typical elements of design, including size, theme of the house and even the ambiance of the neighbourhood.
Foliage and flowers can grab attention by bringing colour to the driveway and you can even make use of small trees and decorative rocks in a creative way to make it inviting.
By combining small and larger rocks, you can easily create an impressive driveway.
Even gravel comes in different colours and can give your driveway a completely different mood.
If you have enough space, adding curves to the driveway can create a "country road" feel and gives you the opportunity to create focal points in the form of striking trees and even water features.
Garden sculptures could be artistic ways to reinvent a driveway and could later serve as an investment.
Using trellises are always appealing, especially when you use it on a wall or fence with fast growing vines to create a focal point.
This automatically draws attention away from a plain concrete driveway or garage.
People have also started using solar lighting in their landscapes and this can transform the mood or a driveway immediately and are especially striking if the driveway has an adjoining front lawn.
This not only improves the garden aesthetically, but can also serve as an effective way to guide you and guests around the front yard at night.
Even a simple concrete driveway that is sometimes necessary for easy accessibility and low maintenance can be spruced up with different patterns, colours and textures in the form of swirl and cobblestone effects, as well as patterns designed to look like bricks and tile.
Many companies offer services specifically for concrete and driveway design and it is thus clear that re-designing your driveway has become more important and appealing than ever before.
Determine the paths mostly followed by guests and family and make sure you keep interesting elements to the sides of these areas and make sure elements do not interfere with the actual driveway.
Fences and rock walls help solve this problem, which can also ultimately become interesting additions to your design.
It can add both colour and character.
Small hanging baskets or lanterns ads more impact to a fence or wall.
Giving your driveway a makeover will not only make your home more striking and welcoming, but can, in fact, increase the value of your house and make it more appealing to future buyers.
