01 Jul What Are The Different Types of Driveway?

The driveway is one of the most important features of a property, being the main focal point of any home’s exterior. If you want to make a good impression on those visiting you, it is vital that your driveway is well-kept and always looks its very best. As a company that, over the years, has amassed extensive experience in the world of driveways, the team here at Sussex Driveways are pleased to offer you an insight into some of the most prominent materials people opt for when designing their driveway.

Tarmac

When it comes to driveways that demonstrate class and sophistication, tarmac is the perfect choice. Driveways surfaced with tarmac are known to be highly resilient, as well as very cost effective. Tarmac is extremely quick to lay, and you do not have to worry about paying a significant amount of money for it to be installed. Add to this the low cost of the base ingredients, and you can see why it’s popularity has never wavered.

Concrete

If you are looking at the statistics, by far and away one of the most popular materials is concrete. One of the primary reasons for this is because of its durability – as long as it is cleaned on a regular basis, in order to ensure that its structural integrity remains intact, these driveways can last for an extremely long time. Another key factor behind this popularity is that it is a cost-effective solution to those who are operating with a limited budget, as opposed to other high-end options on the market.

Gravel

If you are searching for a slightly different option, and are not in an area prone to flooding, we would suggest that you opt for gravel as your material of choice. Not only does it give you a large array of options in terms of colours, but it will also give you a more traditional aesthetic for the front of your home. If you have a large-scale rural property or driveway and need to save money gravel is a perfect option, which can be be repaired and replenished on an ongoing basis.

Tar And Chip

For anyone that wants to easily be able to get their vehicle in-and-out of their garage, without having to worry about it slipping, we have the perfect solution for you – tar and chip. Notorious for its high level of traction, as well as being an ideal material for those who need an affordable material, the only downside to this reliable option is the level of upkeep that it requires.
