Aside from your home’s exterior, two main aspects affect the appearance of your home: your driveway and landscape design. When done correctly, all three elements can work together to create a beautiful property that you enjoy coming home to every day. Many homeowners don’t even realize that their driveways can be more than functional. They can also be aesthetically pleasing and compliment the appearance of the exterior. Consider the following tips to upgrade your driveway landscaping.

Driveway Landscaping Ideas

1. Light The Way

The driveway, that is. Many homeowners incorporate lights into their landscape design because it’s an effective way to highlight beautiful bushes, flowers, greenery, and gardens. Plus, it can make for a safer yard that can be functional at night as well as during the day. The same can be said for illuminating your driveway. You can align small LED lights on either side of your driveway to keep your path bright and ensure that you can always see what’s going on when you return home.

2. Bring It Around

Landscape design in Dayton, OHTraditional driveways can be boring, but not all homeowners can redesign their front drive. However, if you have enough space in your front yard, you might want to consider building a circular driveway and creating a round landscape design in the center. This can immediately make your home feel fancier and give it the appearance of being larger. It also creates more room for vehicles without completely removing the alluring aspects of greenery and bushes. This circular design can help make the landscape stand out even more.

3. Work With The Walls

You don’t need to completely incorporate your landscape design with your driveway to have the two complement each other. If you have an elevated lawn, for example, you can install a retaining wall alongside your driveway to prevent it from eroding or spilling over into it. Plus, depending on the color of stone or bricks you use for the wall, you can create a stunning contrast that helps both areas be unique and eye-catching.
