subject: Brick Driveways Are Not Just For The Rich [print this page] If you think because you don't live in a mansion you can't have a brick driveway nothing could be farther from the truth. While many people think brick driveways are just for those who live in mansions or very large homes that is far from true. As long as you have enough property to accommodate a driveway you can have a brick driveway. The amount of property you have does not dictate the type of material you can use for your driveway - it does affect the styling however. For instance, you are not going to install a circular driveway for a small house any more than you would add a wrap around porch. You want to enhance your property but not take away any of the available space.
The design of your home has an effect on the type of styling you want to use for your driveway. If your home has brick or stone siding you may want to find some examples of brick driveways in that design. That doesn't mean you must match the siding on your home but it will certainly make your driving look more appealing to others if it does. You want to make your home look marketable in case you plan to sell it later-this is important even if you apply for an equity loan because it will increase the value of your home.
What you may also do is build your brick driveway and add stones to the sides of it in order to greater enhance its beauty. A rock garden along the side of the driveway is another idea you may want to try. The key is to make your home stand out and show the beauty it possesses within.
