There are a number of at- tractive options to choose m when considering pav- 8, including asphalt, con- crete, loose fill, and brick. Turf blocks (hollow cement blocks containing grass) can also be used to create a lawn-like effect. Many homeowners are now installing interlocking brick to give their driveway a distinctive, stately look that offers more color and texture than some of the more traditional paving. When revamping or replacing your driveway, keep in mind that the larger your driveway is, the more it will cost you to maintain it. Also try to avoid putting new sections too close to ex- isting trees and shrubs. Pavement should be slightly sloped as well, to MADONNA HOARE RES. 985-2181 GAIL GORESKI RES. 985-2527 oes y ads value to your home |f make sure that water runs off. There should also be a slope across the width, so that water does not pond. This can be achieved by raising the centre a bit so the water rolls off both sides. Asphalt The most common and popular material used for driveways is asphalt. If pro- perly installed and main- tained, this black surface can give you many years of reliable service. But keep in mind that it radiates a lot of heat in the summertime. Damage can occur from frost and oil leaks. It may also become gouged easily from sharp objects like bicycle kickstands and ladders. A poor installation job will result in fairly quick deterioration and fading. Make sure you hire profes- sionals to do the job.

It is recommended that a sealer be applied about every two to three years, to compensate for wear and tear. Loose Fill Loose fill is another type of paving and consists of gravel (usually crushed limestone), or pebbles. It is generally not as expensive as other paving, but may be harder to keep clear of weeds and yard debris. A gravel or pebble drive may also be more difficult to maintain in winter months because the stones have a tendency to get mix- ed with snow and become displaced as the driveway is being shovelled. Stones or pebbles can also become dislodged by your car tires as you pull in and out of your driveway every day. However, a loose fill driveway can provide an at- tractive contrast to adja- cent lawns and flowerbeds. It can also provide a very good base for a future asphalt or concrete driveway. Concrete Concrete is another pav- ing option. It can be more expensive than other driveway materials, but can withstand a lot of weight, is extremely durable and doesn't require a lot of upkeep. Made up of cement, ag- gregate and water, concrete is a good substance for a driveway containing curves and corners. Installation of a concrete driveway is not an easy task and should be left to professionals. A solid place before the concrete can be added. If you plan to resurface an old concrete driveway, make sure you patch any cracks or holes before ap- plying the new material. Brick Brick, particularly the in- terlocking variety, is a popular option to more traditional paving. Bricks can be laid in a number of interesting patterns, and many colors are available.
