David wanted to give his house the introduction it deserved with a beautiful natural stone driveway. He chose rumbled blocks in Autumn tones complementary to the exterior of the house, creating a unifying and stylish first impression. Environmentally-friendly, this permeable system allows rainwater to be released into the natural environment at a controlled rate, minimising local flooding and filtering out harmful pollutants.
The raised, smooth line of kerbs that flow alongside the driveway create better definition and a more pristine finish, outlining key areas. The front border is laid with a stunning plum slate which when dry adds hues of misty blue-grey and purple.
The outdoor lighting creates a welcoming glow for evening visitors as well as showcasing the driveway itself – a pleasure for David to come home to.
