ALCO’s Guide to Driveway Options

Concrete:

Classic and reliable, concrete driveways are easy to install, low-maintenance, and built to last for decades. Simple, yet effective! This makes it a good investment for not only homeowners, but also for developers, as they are built to last and withstand bad weather conditions and is less likely to shrink or expand in extreme hot or cold temperatures.

Pattern Imprinted Concrete:

Want to add a bit of flair to your concrete? Pattern imprinted concrete is here to jazz things up with unique patterns and colours. It’s like concrete, but with a stylish twist! It is also good in extreme weather, so you are less likely to experience any expanding or shrinkage and it needs almost no maintenance, just up-keep the sealing of the concrete.

Block Paving:

Durable, and when done properly can last between 20-25 years, aesthetically pleasing, and available in a range of colours, block paving is perfect for homes, offices, and beyond. Plus, it’s easy to repair without breaking the bank. It is often considered to be one of the longest-lasting driveway options, making it an appealing investment to many people.

Tarmac:

Known for its durability and smooth surface, tarmac is a popular choice for high-traffic areas. It’s tough enough to handle anything life throws its way! It is also another weather resistant option that is made to last, and when done properly can really finish a property.

Gravel Driveway:

Budget-friendly and charming, gravel driveways add a rustic touch to any property. Bonus: they double as a security feature with their audible crunch! They make for a better driveway option for those who live in rural areas who prefer a cost-effective, more natural solution to pricier options.

Pervious Concrete:

Concerned about water runoff? Pervious concrete lets water pass through its surface, making it eco-friendly and oh-so-stylish. Perfect for modern and traditional homes alike! It can be a good option for those who live in areas prone to flooding as it can help prevent it and filters the rainwater benefiting the greenery nearby.

Brick:

For a touch of timeless elegance, consider a brick driveway. It’s a bit pricier, but the rich colour and natural appeal are worth every penny! It also provides a smooth driveway option which can accommodate heavy traffic with minimal wear and tear.

Resin:

Strong, water-impermeable, and low-maintenance, resin driveways offer both style and practicality. Choose from bonded or bound options for a finish that suits your taste. They are not only durable, but they are also relatively easy to maintain, so you don’t have to worry about it.

Each driveway option has its own unique features and benefits, so there is a driveway out there perfect for you own specifications. Whether you’re drawn to the affordability of standard pavers or the elegance of granite, there’s a perfect driveway out there for you.
