Before & After: A New Driveway
While I like the look of gravel driveways, and think that there is a certain charm to the original driveway, and I also tend to dislike concrete pavers, I do think that this is a great makeover. Rather than paving the whole thing and creating an uninteresting eyesore, the little planters are a great design detail. I might have chosen something more like a white picket fence rather than the back iron gate, but otherwise I think this is pretty impressive. What do you think?

Nice job, Before and after photos are great, I wish I did it more with my earlier projects. Guess its much easier to to these days, I always keep a camera in the glove box.

I would have done something a little lighter and with more texture, like brick or cement grass pavers. I like your idea for the white picket fence. I think this looks a bit too modern industrial.

I think the driveway makes the house itself look nicer. Especially because the colours work well. I like the central garden beds, they’re a modern take on the lawn strip that was there previously.
