The driveway is often a neglected part of the home’s exterior, at least when it comes to its aesthetic design. More often than not, the driveway is nothing more than a slab of concrete or asphalt that leads to the home’s garage. If you are looking for something a little more visually interesting, give a ribbon driveway a try.
Ribbon driveways gained popularity almost a hundred years ago and have recently had a resurgence. It’s not difficult to see why either. Ribbon driveways offer more attractive elements than your standard driveway with a strip of greenery to add some life and color to your home.
There are a number of benefits to installing a ribbon driveway besides being more visually appealing than traditional driveways. A ribbon driveway gives the front of your home more of a purposeful design, not to mention makes it blend in a little better with the front yard and any surrounding natural elements.
In addition to aesthetics, ribbon driveways are more environmentally friendly as well. One reason for this is that you are using less concrete for the driveway and more greenery. It also helps to reduce the amount of water runoff.
