Expanding Our Portfolio: The Importance of Driveways in Landscaping

Greengage TeamGreengage interests, The Business

Lately, we’ve been expanding our portfolio to include more driveway projects. We’re thrilled with the results and the positive feedback from our clients.


Driveways are much more than just practical, off-street parking spaces. An attractive, modern driveway creates a strong first impression and has the potential to increase the value of your home—especially in areas where parking is at a premium. We’ve been fortunate to work with clients who prioritize both the aesthetics and functionality of their driveways.


Installing a driveway is a task best left to professionals. However, clients can still do some of the fun part, selecting the right design and materials for your space, home style, and budge. Below are the advantages of some popular driveway materials. Remember, combining materials can help you optimize both budget and design.

Gravel Driveways

    • One of the most cost-effective options.
    • Offers excellent drainage.
    • Easy to maintain—just top up as necessary.
    • Eco-friendly and long-lasting, able to withstand heavy traffic.
    • Flexible, allowing for driveway expansion or modification.
    • Provides good traction in wet or icy conditions.
    • The noise of vehicles and pedestrians on gravel can be an added security feature.

Resin Driveways

  • Naturally porous and puddle-free, ideal for areas with surface water or flooding.
  • More eco-friendly than concrete.
  • Unlike concrete or tarmac, resin won’t crack, offering a longer lifespan.
  • Easy to clean.
  • Available in a wide range of colours.

Concrete Driveways

  • Extremely durable, handling heavy traffic and harsh weather well.
  • Long-lasting with minimal maintenance.
  • Customizable with stamps, colours, or textures.

Paver Driveways

  • Offers a quality look and flexible design options with various layouts and colours.
  • Highly durable, capable of bearing heavy loads.
  • Low maintenance and easy to clean.
  • Lasts for decades.
  • Permeable, allowing water to drain naturally.
  • Provides excellent traction.

As driveways are often the first thing people notice about your home, landscaping your driveway can be a powerful way to introduce visitors to your property. Beyond improving property value, a well-designed driveway can reduce erosion, offer better drainage, and add functionality like lighting or plant borders.
