Why Invest in Our Driveways?
We recommend investing in our driveways to improve your ease of movement and the value of your property.
We'll provide site visits to take measurements and discuss how we can enhance the space.
You'll have an initial discussion with one of our trusted team members, and then we'll work on the fine details, such as the materials, colour, style, and layout.
Our driveways are designed with asphalt, tarmac, and permeable gravel grids to withstand frequent traffic without wear and tear.
Accessible Driveways Installation Services
Look to us for accessible installation services in your area. We use strong materials with slip-resistant finishes to create smooth surfaces and slopes that make driving and walking easier.
Our team includes ramps and curb cuts so drivers can carefully transition from their drive onto the pavement. We also focus on removing any hazards or obstacles to make the terrain less difficult or meandering.
Materials for Durable and Smooth Surfaces
Two of the most common materials used are concrete and asphalt. Concrete is incredibly long-lasting, offering a solid surface, and asphalt is cost-effective and highly flexible.
Also, you may want to consider permeable pavers, as these reduce water runoff and encourage good drainage.
Ensuring Proper Slope and Gradient
A gentle and consistent gradient is ideal for avoiding the risk of tipping or straining yourself.
Effective grading ensures water runs away from your driveway, which is another way of preventing large puddles or slippery areas that could lead to accidents.
Incorporating Safe and Easy Entry Points
All entry points to your home or property must feature smooth transitions with no obstacles or sharp edges. You can do this by including curb cuts and ramps.
All ramps should be gently sloped and wide to accommodate strollers, bikes, wheelchair users, or other mobility aids.
Maintenance Tips for Driveways
To maintain driveways, all customers should regularly check for uneven surfaces or cracks. If you notice any, contact us today, and we'll do our best to fix them and prevent tripping.
Make sure you keep all surfaces clear of ice, snow, and debris. The elements can often create slippery conditions and various obstacles that could be equally dangerous.
Drainage Solutions
Drainage solutions or materials are crucial to prevent large water accumulations and maintain safety.
At Star Landscapes, we can install permeable gravel, porous concrete, and other material resources that allow water to filter through and avoid runoff.
Designing a Driveway
Designing your driveway involves selecting durable materials like permeable gravel, concrete, asphalt, and more and ensuring we develop a layout that complements your home.
We also ensure it provides plenty of parking space and easy access. Alongside materials, which is also part of the design process, it's important to ensure proper drainage. Efficient drainage helps prevent water pooling for a slip-free surface.
