Currently deciding what to do 're driveway. At present it's old fashioned paving slabs, mix and match with front lawn (1930s semi). Recently had extension, rest of house is lovely and front garden / driveway really looks awful.
Options seem to be :
Tarmac - seems to look great for a couple of years then starts to look worn and messy. Doesn't have a long shelf life anyway.
Block paving - weeds seem to be an issue so unless you can devote quite a lot of time to maintenance, looks shabby pretty quickly.
Gravel - next door have this and really dislike it - stones all over the road and pavement
Which has led me on to pattern imprinted concrete. Would have a grey colour rather than some of the more garish colours - seems to be pretty much maintenance free although you're supposed to re-seal it every couple of years.
Any Experience? I don't want to spend this amount of money on a drive anywaywould rather have a holiday so definitely don't want to have to replace any time soon as we made the wrong choice!
