Turn That Messy Old Front Yard Into Your Personal Driveway

If you live out in the country in a grand home with a couple of acres of garden and a beautiful stone driveway that has a big turning area, you can sweep into it in style, park your SUV or whatever, go inside, and do whatever you want, without having to worry about whether there will be a space on the street near your home when you get back, or the possibility of a parking ticket.

Unfortunately, for most of us, life is not that easy, especially if you live in a town or large city. But nonetheless, for many homeowners in those circumstances, it is still possible. If you have a front garden, which so many homes do, why not turn it into your own private parking space? It makes so much sense. We all drive cars, and many families have two, three, or even more, especially if there are grown-up kids. Instead of fighting to find a parking space and finally having to park three streets or more away, you can park right outside your front door!

20 Years Experience

At Base Driveways, we have over 20 years of experience in paving over areas that were either gardens or just grass and turning them into a parking area that not only is practical but also enhances the beauty of the front of your home. Your driveway can be created using several different materials such as brick blocks, resin, concrete, veneer stone, natural stone, coloured concrete, and so on. The choice is yours.

Many people opt for brick driveway paving in Kent because there are still many options. You can have brick blocks all in one colour, or you might choose to have different colours mixed. They can be set so that they all run in the same direction, or you can have them set at different angles instead. You can have blocks of different shapes. You can have designs set into your driveway. So, for example, you could have your company logo in the middle of it, or for that matter any other design that you wish.

Here is another advantage: a brick-block driveway will increase the value of your home! Yes, it is estimated that a nice driveway will increase the value of an average home by 10%! So, if your home is worth £300,000 it will increase to £330,000.

Another advantage is that if a brick should get cracked for some reason, all you need to do is to have it replaced. It won’t spoil your whole driveway!
