Driveways in Banstead | Creative Design Ideas for a Hard Landscaping Theme
Driveways can often be the first impression that a passer-by or even a potential buyer will have of a property in Banstead. Functionality is obviously important, but an aesthetically-pleasing finish will also boost a home’s kerb appeal. Koala Landscapes creates thoughtful design ideas not just for driveways, but also for the rest of a hard landscaping theme. We have a talent for improving appearances.
We have already laid a sizeable number of driveways in Banstead, and our contractors would be happy to do the same for you.
Where we differ from other companies is in our pursuit of a cohesive finish that factors in the surrounds of our installations and not just the driveways that we install. Our latest blog post offers some suggestions that will bring out the best in any residential grounds.
Edges
It is always a good idea to consider the edges of driveways, and for an installation to look more defined. In addition to improving the appearance of a driveway, edging adds shape and can even go on to be an added benefit when it comes to upkeep. Use contrasting colours, and you add a dynamic to driveways that will always catch the eye.
In terms of hardscaping a property in Banstead, simple pavers around the edges of driveways in a different shade add contrast whereas a plant-based addition, like a flower bed or shrubs, add more colour.
Each of these edging options can be used to transform a driveway.
Planters
Add vibrant colours, cascading greenery and an element of drama with planters, which can be positioned in such a way as to create a focal point. Planters have a habit of drawing in the eye, have fantastic personality and create a layer of visual interest around driveways in Banstead. You can even add small trees to a larger garden.
The more you mix colours, styles and sizes, the more impressive that a driveway will look. For those who want to add planers, but would prefer not to have upkeep, perennials have a natural beauty that can keep a residential home looking resplendent across all four seasons.
Driveways in neutral tones benefit most from the use of planters.
Added Features
Versatility is the key to combining hard landscaping elements with a selection of features that captivate. Some driveways can look plain on their own but, by mixing and matching with additional features, a property in Banstead can attain an appearance that not only looks as if it is well thought out, but which will also add true uniqueness.
Intersperse gravel and shrubs around driveways for a low-maintenance solution with a rustic charm, or add a water feature to create an element of calmness. Climbing plants on a trellis take the dynamic to new heights by bringing hard and soft landscaping together.
You can, of course, present any ideas you have to our company.

We can lay driveways in a choice of materials, such as block paving, natural stone and resin. For those on a smaller budget, we can lay down an installation in a material like concrete or tarmacadam. The final choice, of course, rests in the hands of our valued clientele.
