Of course, in present days, living in a residential area you will want to cut on the drama and just impress your guests with a smooth and graceful arrive to the front door. Surely a dull asphalt driveway heading to the garage couldn’t provide that. There are various ways one can improve and redesign the house’s driveway. Landscape designers suggest to adorn it with mini gardens on each side or to even break the driveway in the middle with a strip of grass. Other decorative driveways feature iron gates, stone statues or paved borders in curved lines.

A circular driveway is an elegant addition to a house if there is sufficient terrain. The best option in term of appearance, quality and maintenance is concrete block paving.
