Residential Paving

Driveways

Using paving blocks to construct a driveway can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal and value of your property. Paving blocks are commonly made of concrete, clay and come in a variety of colors, patterns and shapes.

A well designed driveway will add an attractive and elegant look to your property, creating a welcoming entrance and standing out from other driveways in the neighbourhood. It can be designed in various patterns to add a unique and sophisticated look to the property.

Paving blocks are durable and long-lasting, providing a sturdy driving surface for vehicles, and requiring little maintenance over time. They are resistant to extreme weather conditions, heavy traffic and wear and tear, ensuring that the driveway maintains its appeal and functionality for years to come.

A well-designed and constructed driveway will enhance the kerb appeal of the property, making it more attractive to prospective buyers and potentially increasing the resale value

Plan the layout:

Add accents:

Use pavers to create borders, patterns, and other accents to add visual interest to your outdoor living space. Mix and match different textures of pavers to create a unique look.

Consider maintenance:

Clay and wet cast pavers are both low-maintenance options, but they may require occasional cleaning and sealing to maintain their appearance. Consider this when planning your outdoor living space.

Cladding

Using cladding can create focus points in certain areas of your house and garden by adding texture, colour, and dimension to the exterior of your home. Cladding can be used to highlight architectural features, such as windows, doors, and columns, or to create a focal point in the garden, such as a water feature or a seating area. Cladding can also be used to create a unique look for your home, making it stand out from the rest. By adding cladding to certain areas of your house and garden, you can create a more visually appealing and valuable home.

Walkways

When designing a walkway to add value and functionality to your property, here are some important factors to consider:

1. Purpose: Determine the main purpose of your walkway. Is it just for aesthetics, to provide a pathway for guests to your home, or to connect various outdoor areas of your property?
2. Material: Choose the appropriate material for your walkway that best meets your needs while still giving a stylish look to your property. For example, pavers or bricks give a classic look while wet cast or bigger paving blocks can give a more modern feel.
3. Space: Measure the appropriate area where you’d like to install your walkway to be sure you have enough space comfortably to accommodate the width you’re looking for.
4. Safety: Select non-slip or textured material options to prevent slipping and injury during wet conditions.
5. Lighting: Consider if you want to add low voltage lighting along your walkway? If so, decide whether it will serve as an accent or more functional like providing ample lighting to ensure safety at night.
6. Landscaping: Adequate surrounding landscape plans with plants and trees along with the walkway can give you extra benefits in terms of shade, temperature, and overall kerb appeal.
