Enhancing Your Asphalt Driveway with Paver Borders

Are you looking for a way to bring your asphalt driveway from ordinary to extraordinary? Add a new level of uniqueness to the entrance of your home by adding a two, three or four course paver border in a contrasting color to stand out amongst the sea of asphalt driveways in your neighborhood. There are a variety of colors and textures that can allow you to complement the existing materials of your home such as the brick or siding.

A border will help soften the transition from concrete or asphalt to grass and it also widens the space of your driveway so more cars can park and people can easily step in and out. In addition to providing extra width, paver borders can also preserve the edges of asphalt by containing the gravel beneath. This now addresses aesthetics and function. Another way to bring this new border to life even more, is by lining it with lighting. This will emphasize the new beauty of your driveway and just like added width, lights also add an element of function you wouldn’t normally have.

If you’re building a brand new home with an asphalt driveway, you might consider adding an apron at the foot of the garage or a rumble strip at the street. An apron will immediately enhance the curb appeal of your home and add character. Certain colors and textures of pavers will play off the existing architecture.

A new walkway to your front entrance or your backyard is also a great opportunity to add a paver border around your existing asphalt driveway. This will ultimately tie the whole project together and add space.

No matter how intricate you choose to make this project, an added apron or border is the easiest way to add character to your driveway. We can’t think of a better way to welcome family and friends and create a lasting impression!
