Your driveway offers you an excellent opportunity to extend the elegance and charm of your house into your front yard. It is one of the first features visitors will see as they approach your residence, so it’s important to style it well. And since it will be bearing the weight of all the vehicles driving in and out, it needs to be well constructed with the right materials.
While it’s possible to lay your driveway with gravel, pavers and asphalt among other materials, few of them offer the styling options and cost benefits that concrete does. Pavers offer great aesthetics and can be durable, but they tend to be quite costly. Gravel, on the other hand, is a cheap solution, but doesn’t do well in terms of looks and longevity. Concrete is affordable and offers a range of options in terms of finishing. A stamped concrete driveway can be styled to look like pavers, for instance. You can opt for a coloured concrete driveway that matches the theme of your house
Concrete can also be laid down faster than a number of these other options, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful new driveway without having to wait too long. Yet it will still guarantee you the length of service a brick or paved driveway will.
If you’re intent on increasing your property’s curb appeal, an exposed aggregate driveway is a great choice. Ballarat Pro Concreters lay down exposed aggregate driveways as well.
