Driveways – Cobbles and Gardens
To make this driveway inviting, it needed to be narrowed and long. A small picket fence was added to accent the entrance and a lamp post was added to illuminate the end. The cobbles make the entrance stand out and lead you to a path with Plum trees on your left and a stone wall with perennials spilling over the edges. As you enter this Westwood, Mass property, each season brings a different gift.
Driveways lined with Garden Blossoms
It’s simple and beautiful. The best spring blossoms are right at the entrance to the driveway.

You can use crushed bank gravel for your driveway if you have a flat surface. You can create a rustic and elegant look by lining the edges with lush turf and cobbles. This will also help to increase the rain water recharge throughout the year. Although plowing can be difficult, I believe it is worth the effort. It needs some spring cleaning, but it looks amazing again with very little attention.
