Seldom has there been such a diversity of materials to choose from when deciding on a driveway. Amongst the most fashionable in modern driveway design is block paving, setts,paving slabs and gravel, although concrete and asphalt are functionally sound, they are increasingly being seen as less attractive.
Of all paved surfaces around the garden the driveway in particular needs to be well constructed with proper foundations. If not, there is a serious risk of settlement and unevenness.

Paving and pathways
Paving and pathways are crucial elements within garden design and need to be well-considered. Paths are the navigation routes leading you through the garden to points of interest. Paved areas and patios are important as a link between indoors and outdoors and as hard standing for dining and sitting out.
Squares and rectangles are the simplest to build from slabs, bricks and paving blocks, the softer organic shapes and curves are altogether more demanding. The shape of paved surfaces can often be dictated by the general landform as well as adjacent buildings, key features and focal points within the garden.
There is a vast and ever expanding choice of building materials, concrete, stone, granite, terracotta and gravel. Used in isolation or combined, they can provide an attractive palette of colour and texture.
