Quality Paving and Driveways in Leeds

Paving your driveway is as much an aesthetic decision as it is a practical one. The decision about which materials you would like to pave with boils down to whether you want a solid surface or an aggregate surface. In recent years, other exotic and creative ways to pave driveways have emerged in Leeds. Some other factors to consider when making your decision include weathering, the surrounding architecture and cost. Before choosing what to do with your driveway, you should definitely research the different paving methods.

A Solid Surface Driveway in Leeds

A popular method for paving driveways is a single, seamless block of material. Concrete and asphalt, popular and affordable choices, are often the materials used for this method. With a solid surface driveway you also get all weather durability and simple debris removal. It is important to also consider that what you gain in practicality, you could very well lose in appearance and maintenance costs. A solid surface driveway that becomes cracked or otherwise damaged will often need to be paved again in its entirety.

Paving and Driveways in Leeds with an Aggregate Surface

Alternatively, aggregate surface driveways are often paved with gravel and crushed stone. It is possible, using this method, to simply repair one damaged area as opposed to the whole driveway. The downside is that it is difficult to use machinery for snow and garden clearing on an aggregate surface. A decent solution to this problem when paving your driveway in Leeds is using concrete to create a seamlessness between aggregate materials or paving stones. Paving a driveway with cobblestones and bricks makes it simple to execute this third option.

Designer and Specialty Paving and Driveways in Leeds

If you're looking for a little flair, consider a more creative paving option, one that can be either modern or traditional. If your home is brick, you might want to consider using interlocking hexagonal, or other shape, bricks for your driveway. Take a concrete driveway to the next level by brightening the grey with colour pigments or by adding some texture with patterned concrete that is meant to copy the look of common aggregate surfaces. When it comes to extraordinary durability and old-world appeal, cobblestones remain the gold standard in Leeds, despite a higher initial cost. Choose the colour and shape of your customised paving stones and add personal touches like initials or family crests to create your own designer driveway.
