Driveway Styles to Choose from
A popular choice due to its durability, longevity and low maintenance requirements.

A natural-looking and low-cost option that requires regular maintenance to keep it free of weeds and maintain its shape.
Paver driveways have an initial upfront cost that is higher than concrete and asphalt, however the added value to your property more than makes up for the added expense. When we consider the nealry endless design options of colors and patterns, and the added durability of pavers which are less prone to cracking then concrete, pavers are definitely a step above concrete.
Stamped concrete driveways is an option to take a look at when improving the hard surfaces on your property. The additional curb appeal added to your home will maximize the return on your investment. Patterns are available that resemble brick, slate, flagstone, tile and even wood.
A type of concrete driveway where the surface is finished with decorative stones, pebbles or glass, which are revealed after the concrete has been acid-etched or sandblasted.
Bricks have been used for millenia in building of walls, and paved surfaces such as driveways, walking paths, and patios. Installed properly, over a good base material, bricks easily handle the duties of a driveway with proper maintenance and care. The elegance of brick is undeniable in the beauty added to your home.
Pervious pavers install like standard pavers but do offer an advantage. Pervious pavers allow rainwater to percolate through the surface of your drive or patio, rather than running around the individual pavers. This aids in flood control if you have a problem area in your property that seems to retain water, as your paved areas will not immediately add to the water runoff into your flood areas of your yard.
