What Are the Different Driveway Options?

Selecting the right material for your driveway involves considering both aesthetics and functionality:

• Pavers: Available in concrete or clay, pavers offer flexibility and a range of styles. Options include permeable varieties such as the Firth EcoPave range. Pavers require a stable base and ongoing weed control but provide numerous design possibilities.
• Gravel: An economical choice that provides a natural look and texture. Stabilized gravel offers long-term durability with proper base preparation and maintenance. Stabilized lawn is another option to consider for a softer appearance.
• Concrete: Known for its durability and versatility, concrete can be customized with various finishes such as stamped, exposed, polished, colored, and aggregate. Concrete driveways can be tailored to complement the style of your home and garden.
• Combining Materials: Integrate different materials for added interest, such as pairing gravel with stone borders or concrete with timber inserts. Other materials include brick and natural stone paving, with granite and other natural stones representing higher-end options.

What’s Involved in Building a Driveway?

Creating a driveway involves several essential steps to ensure it complements your landscaping and meets your needs:

1. Planning: Develop a design that integrates seamlessly with your property and meets functional requirements.
2. Demolition & Earthworks: Includes removing existing surfaces, performing earthworks, installing drainage, and preparing the base.
3. Installation: Applying the final surface according to your chosen material.

For new developments, you may need to ensure compliance with regulations, such as providing space for vehicle turnaround. Zones® can manage any required council consents and ensure your project meets local standards.

Additional Enhancements

Consider integrating other features alongside your driveway for a complete look:

• Driveway Gates & Fencing: Add security and style to your entrance.
• Letterboxes & Lighting: Functional and decorative additions.
• Carports: Provide extra shelter and convenience.
• Pedestrian Entrances & Footpaths: Enhance accessibility and curb appeal.
• Retaining Walls & Planting Plans: Address slopes and add greenery to your landscape.

How Much Does a Driveway Cost?

The final cost of building or resurfacing a driveway depends on several factors:

• Preparation & Foundation Work: Proper drainage and grading are essential for a durable driveway.
• Material Choice: Costs vary depending on the materials selected.
• Design Complexity: More intricate designs may affect the overall cost.

Investing in quality preparation and materials will ensure a long-lasting driveway, saving you from future maintenance costs.
