Why Not Add a Spot of Colour to Your Driveway?

When it comes to improving the curb appeal of your home and giving it interest, homeowners are quick to look at things such as a lovely garden, an attractive front door and garage door, lighting and updating pathways. One area that may be overlooked is the potential your driveway has to offer. Did you know that you can actually add interest, as well as curb appeal to your home, by adding a spot of colour to your driveway?

Resin driveway surfacing is what makes colour possible and can completely transform the way the exterior of your home feels and looks. So, let’s take a closer look.

What is a Resin Bound Driveway?

For those who are unfamiliar with a resin bound driveway, this is a smooth and decorative surface resistant to cracking and weed growth. The material isn’t just reserved for the driveway either. You can also use that resin on pathways and steps to create flow and added curb appeal!

The material is a mixture of resin and stone that is bonded together. The resin bound aggregate mixture then goes through a hand-installation process in order to create a smooth surface.

What Are the Pros?

There are a number of pros in choosing a Resin Bonded Driveway including the big one, which is the fact you can add colour to the mixture. You can be real specific in your colour selection too, so you'll be able to achieve the look you want. In addition to this, resin bound surfaces are smooth with no loose stones that can cause a tripping hazard. They are also permeable, so you can say goodbye to water pooling!

Are There Any Popular Colours?

Now as for what colour to add to your driveway, it’s obviously a personal choice but there are some colours that are a bit more traditional and tend to work well with a variety of homes and styles. If you want it to look natural, then opt for something that is softer and more sophisticated.

If you’re the more vibrant type, splash a little red, white and blue on there and create a patriotic driveway that really catches the eye! It really is a blank canvas for you to be as creative as you like. Work with a professional driveway installation company in order to obtain the best design and the look you are hoping for!
