match many color schemes. To personalize your driveway, lay the bricks in a variety of designs such as circles, waves, or checkerboard.

4. Put in a Privacy Bed.

If you and your neighbor share a driveway, planting flowers and shrubs between the entryways is an excellent way to create small but colorful privacy wall.

5. Install Lighting.

Add an influential effect to your home with landscape lighting. This will change the look and feel of your home in a great way. For example, you can position the lights to border the sides of your driveway creating a runway design or to add a more creative touch try staggering two or more lamp styles.

6. Design a Rock Garden.

There are no rules saying that your lawn has to meet your driveway. Extract a two-foot-wide strip of grass from each side of your driveway and fill both areas with rocks. Mix an assortment of sizes and colors to create character.

7. Build a Retaining Wall.

If there is sufficient room along your driveway, constructing a retaining wall will add character and old-world charm to your home. You have many options such as using railroad ties, stones, telephone poles, or bricks to create a design that is perfect for you.

8. Create a Grass Driveway.

If your front yard is small and contains limited color, why not make your driveway your lawn?

9. Add Gravel.

Creating a new look is as easy as adding a little gravel. You can choose from a wide variety of colors such as blue-gray to produce a peaceful, family-style appeal, red which generates a natural look, or white to project a more formal feeling.

10. Recreate the Shape.

Changing the frame of your driveway completely is the ultimate makeover. You can create whatever look or feel suits your home the best. Adding a curve or two can provide the look of an alluring coun-try road. Creating a circular driveway supplies you with an excellent centerpiece location to add a beautiful statue or fountain and it also produces an easy route for visitors to come and go as they please.

No matter what design you choose for your driveway, it will create wonderful curb appeal and boost the value of your home.
