Landscaping Considerations

Complementary Planting

Choose plants and shrubs that complement the colour and texture of your exposed aggregate driveway. For a cohesive look, you might select foliage that picks up on the hues within the aggregate.

Lighting

Strategically placed lighting can not only enhance safety but also highlight the natural beauty of the aggregate in the evenings, creating an inviting entrance to your home.

Borders and Edging

Consider adding borders or edging with materials that contrast with or complement the exposed aggregate. This not only helps in defining the driveway area but also adds to its visual appeal.

Enhancing the Aesthetic Appeal of your Perth Home

Consistency in Design

For a unified look, consider using exposed aggregate in other areas of your home, such as walkways, patios, or pool surrounds. This consistency in design can elevate the overall aesthetic of your property.

Focal Points

Create focal points by combining exposed aggregate with other materials, like natural stone or pavers, for more dynamic design options.

Maintenance and Care

Regular Cleaning

Sweep off the debris and wash the surface with a hose to keep your exposed aggregate driveway looking pristine. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the surface.

Sealant Application

• Applying a sealant every few years can enhance the longevity of the driveway, protect it from stains, and keep the aggregate from becoming loose.

Hiring the Right Contractor

Choosing a skilled contractor experienced in laying exposed aggregate is crucial. Look for professionals with a portfolio of work in Perth, positive customer testimonials, and a good understanding of local climate and soil conditions.

Cost Considerations

The cost of an exposed aggregate driveway varies depending on the size of the area, the type of aggregate chosen, and the complexity of the design. However, its longevity and low maintenance often make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Conclusion

An exposed aggregate driveway is more than just a path to your home; it's an opportunity to showcase your style and complement your property’s aesthetics. With its durability, design versatility, and low maintenance, it’s an excellent choice for homeowners in Perth looking to enhance their property’s value and curb appeal.
