We were commissioned to transform this uninspiring front driveway with a modern facelift that enhances this newly renovated home.
Our design proposal combined Marshalls Savanna with Argent block paving. This combination made for a modern finish that has increased kerb appeal for this family home.
A curved D-shaped central island was employed to create a stunning in-out driveway with ample-width openings allowing easy access.
The central island created an opportunity to inject some green into the frontage and provide a balance between hard and soft features.
To retain the privacy provided by the previous, albeit unruly, trees and shrubs, low-maintenance laurel hedging was planted across the front boundary.
