Driveways

This long driveway in Franklin, Mass is constructed of crushed bank gravel that has been compacted as if asphalt would have been installed over it. It is a solid driving surface yet it drains water right through it. This eco-friendly landscape choice is also beautiful with the lawn edges and tree lined berms.

This long and narrow driveway needed attention to make it this inviting. The addition of a small picket fence to accentuate the entry along with the lamp post to illumate the end was a start. The cobbles really call off the entrance and lead you down a garden path lined with Plum trees on the left and a stone wall with perennials dripping over the edges. Each season offers a new gift as you enter this Westwood, Mass property.

This home in Natick, Mass underwent a full renovation inside and out. Pouring a sea of asphalt in the front driveway court was going to take away from all their careful efforts to improve their landscape. By using pavers in two colors and an elegant pattern, this entry court is inviting and beautiful. AND it is permeable, so it is a sound ecological building choice too!

Simple yet pretty. Spring blossoms right at the mouth of the driveway are the best!
