Ways to Transform Your Driveway This Spring

Updating Your Outdoor Space

Spring is the perfect time to spruce up the exterior of your home, and one area that often gets overlooked is the driveway. After a long winter, your driveway may be looking worse for wear. Here are some ways you can transform it this spring, from the experts in tarmac Norfolk property owners trust.

Power wash away dirt and grime

One of the quickest ways to transform your driveway is to give it a good clean. Over time, dirt can accumulate on your driveway, making it look dull and dingy. Use a power washer to blast away built-up grime and leave your driveway looking as good as new! If you don’t have a pressure washer or feel nervous using one, a thorough sweep will still work wonders.

Install outdoor lighting

Adding lighting along the edges of your driveway can create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and also provide security at night. If you’re thinking of the planet, choose energy-efficient LED lights with motion sensors so that you’re using as little power as possible. You could also opt for solar-powered lights to reduce your carbon footprint and save even more money on your bills!

Plant flowers and shrubs

Incorporating greenery into your driveway design can soften any hard lines and add some beautiful visual interest. Plant colourful flowers or low-maintenance shrubs along the sides of your driveway to create a beautiful border. By limiting plants to the side of your drive, you will still be able to use it for parking – giving you the best of both worlds.

Install a new tarmac driveway

If your driveway really is past its best, why not invest in something new? A tarmac driveway in Norfolk is a great choice for any property, and there are so many benefits to choosing tarmac over other driveway materials. These include:

• Durable and easy to care for: Tarmac surfaces stand up well against heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. They last for many years and require very little in the way of upkeep. In fact, you can easily look after a tarmac drive yourself.
• Cost-effective: Tarmac drives provide incredible value for money and are a great option for those looking for a more affordable way to update their outdoor space. They’re also very cheap to repair, providing great savings in the long term as well.
