Driveway Design Question?

Question

My house (in Florida) is beige or light tan with white shutters, white front porch & white trim. My driveway is asphalt, stained light tan. I would just like to give my driveway a certain umphh...those of you thinking of a big pink flamingo, my sister beat you to it and it's probably....NO! :D

The idea I like best I will vote best answer...thanks

Answer 1

If you are not up to actually re-staining your driveway, you could try something like this:
*put small landscape rocks along both sides of your driveway in a confined area (like a mini rock garden)
*in the rock beds, plant vibrant flowers or other green plants
*solar-powered lights look great lining the driveway and around your porch (and they are easily installed - just stick them in the ground!)

Answer 2

Depending on the style of your house, you could stain the driveway to look like it's old world pavers or cobble stones. Takes some time to do but I've seen them, they look awesome! You could also plant some of those really tall grasses with the big poofy flowery things on top that bloom in a contrasting color from your house, like maybe pink or lavender. Use your imagination and phooey on your sister and the pink flamingo!

Answer 3

Ive seen some pretty cool driveways with 2' x 2' box gardens things with plants low enough not to get ruined by a car right thru the middle of the driveway. like 3 diff. 2' x 2' squares with plants. you can make it colorful flowers.

Here's a site with different patterns for either stamping or stenciling your driveway.
