Driveway Design & Installation

A number of variables can affect the functionality and appeal of your driveway, and they deserve careful consideration.

Curb appeal: In addition to providing a pathway to your home and garage, your driveway reflects the look and feel of your entire property. During the planning and design phase, it’s important to consider how the driveway will tie in with existing features, exterior finishes, and the natural lay of the land.
Shape: Your options are limited by the distance from the street to your garage, but the shape your driveway takes may also depend on obstructions on the property, such as a large tree. While straight may be considered boring, it may be the only option for short distances or if the accessibility from the curbside is in direct alignment with your garage. If you have room, however, you may want to consider adding more visual interest and functionality with a curved, circular, or teardrop-shaped driveway.
Slope: Drainage is a key factor in driveway design and installation to avoid water pooling. Whether your property allows for a natural slope or one must be built in during installation, consideration must be given to runoff and any necessary adjustments.

Types of Driveway Installation Materials

Budget, practicality, weather, style, and preference should all be considered before choosing your driveway material from among these common options.

Asphalt: Durability, low cost, versatility, and weather resistance make asphalt driveways a popular choice among homeowners. Regular maintenance, including sealing, is recommended every three to five years.
Brick: Enjoy old-world charm and elegance with a brick driveway while increasing your home’s curb appeal and value.
Concrete: This low-maintenance material works well in northern climates and can be customized with various colors or textures to add visual interest.
Gravel: Though popular throughout the U.S., gravel is a high-maintenance material that is not exceptionally well-suited for regions that experience snow.
Pavers: If you’re looking for that “wow” factor, pavers can deliver. An endless array of design choices, low maintenance, exceptional drainage properties, and a lifespan upward of 40 years offset the higher upfront cost of materials.

Benefits of Professional Driveway Installation

There are several do-it-yourself projects that can lend value and appeal to your home, but when it comes to your driveway, there are significant benefits to professional design and installation.

Scope: Even the smallest driveway installation is a massive undertaking, requiring hours of planning, preparation, and labor.
Property value: Professional installation by Wheat’s Landscape will increase your property’s value.
Satisfaction: Shoddy or amateur workmanship can cause complications, which can affect the look and function of your driveway. Avoid drainage and condition issues with professional design and installation.
