If you're looking for a unique look you might way to consider looking into brick driveways
. They are much more distinctive than asphalt or concrete and give your driveway its own personality. Of course you also have to keep in mind they will not have the smooth surface you find with concrete or asphalt, but if you are looking for something different, you will certainly find it when you install a new brick driveway.
A brick driveway will fit in nicely with stone as well. You can choose the stone or you can combine brick and stone in order to develop a really unique look. Rock gardens are unique-so are brick driveways. When you choose bricks you can also look at different shades and colors in order to really come up with something that will set your driveway apart from others in your neighborhood.
Brick driveways are also great if you have enough property for a circular driveway. As you build the driveway you can choose the bricks to blend in with your garden or with a rock garden you are planning or already have. They are very unique and go a long way toward helping provide the look you want for your driveway. You may even find different color bricks in order to enhance the appearance of your driveway and surrounding areas. However you do want to keep in mind that the lack of a smooth surface means you will need to be careful as you drive on its surface. It also may not be the most comfortable surface on which to walk, so you may wish to limit its use to just picking up, dropping off or entering the garage.
