Picking The Right Landscaping for Your New Driveway

Getting a freshly paved driveway is an excellent way to really spruce up your yard! But to boost up your yard appeal, you’ll want to make sure the landscaping compliments it. So if some unkempt grass surrounds your beautiful new driveway, here’s how to get your landscape design up to par:

Add Some Shrubs

One way to make your new driveway or walkway pop is to add a few low maintenance bushes. You want to make sure that you are choosing plants that grow low to the ground. Plants that are known to spread can grow outward and into your driveway causing more upkeep and more chances of them getting damaged by your car.

Think Colorful Flowers

Want to dress it up a bit more? Add some bright color flowers! Whether you add them along your walk way or in the front of the house, it will be a great way to brighten up your yard. Potted or planted, a nicely arranged garden can also add value to your home!

Light it Up

Beyond your beautiful greenery, why not shine some light on the new beautiful piece of work! You can add solar light along your driveway leading up to the house. They are easy to install and a great way to keep your driveway safely lit, and bonus — it will keep your yard free of intruders.

Keep it Simple

If you are looking to maintain the focus more on the driveway, you can add two focal plants at your front steps or just plant a single tree. It will highlight your path with out overpowering it. It’s also less gardening you’ll have to do along the way, and the right tree can even add shade and privacy to your home.
