Landscaping Driveways

Landscape is not only for our backyard. We can also add a landscape in our driveway. Check this article I found for ideas that will help you in designing your driveway.

Landscaping driveways can entail installing both hardscape and softscape features. Hardscape options consist mainly of walls, fences, and the like, while your softscape options include the following:

Flower borders
Ground covers
Ornamental trees
Shrubs

The possibilities for landscaping driveways are greatly enhanced if you plan on including walls. Walls (for instance, stone walls) can either parallel the driveway along its whole length, or meet it perpendicularly, at the entrance.

The latter scenario, in particular, opens up a number of possibilities. For example, some people attach driveway gates to the wall, while others span the opening in the wall with an arch.

Meanwhile, variations on the softscape side of landscaping driveways are practically endless. Again, the decision often comes down to whether your intention is to create a grand driveway entrance or have plants running the length of the driveway (of course, some people choose both). Accenting the entrance can certainly be cheaper (because there is usually a smaller area to cover), which is important if your budget is small and your driveway large.
