Asphalt driveways are a great way to boost your property’s curb appeal and bring a new look to your home or business. If you’re installing a new driveway, it is important to consider its shape, parking areas, and the other landscaping that are already there.
The Shape of The Driveway
Long and winding, short and straight, and circular driveways each have their own look and functionality. The size and shape of what you’re looking for impacts how much an asphalt driveway will cost, as well as the flow of traffic. Some people choose to expand their driveways so that multiple vehicles can use them at once. As a paving company located in Trenton Ontario, we are familiar with local driveway bylaws. We are here to discuss your driveway design needs, and help you come up with the best solution possible for your space.

Parking
Where you want to park your vehicles should be taken into consideration when planning your driveway paving. Those who have the space often choose to include a turn around area or extra parking spot when they get their driveways paved. If you have a garage, paving up to it is important, and an experienced asphalt company knows the proper way to lay the asphalt in this area. If you plan on parking heavy vehicles or campers on your driveway, be sure to discuss this with your pavers. At Genesis Paving, we carefully consider the materials used for the base and asphalt mix of your driveway before getting started to ensure it meets your needs. We can also pave inside an attached carport to allow for better parking.

Landscaping Elements and Entries
When paving a driveway or parking lot, professionals ensure that the asphalt connects correctly with other features on your property. It’s important to work with existing sidewalks and walkways, patios, entrances, exterior walls and roadways. Asphalt paving can add a clean appearance to these areas, making them stand out even more. Gardens, culverts, fences, trees and lawns are also important to consider. Gardens can be incorporated directly into the design of your driveway, and many homeowners choose to have asphalt installed on either side of them. Grass can be removed in order to accommodate your paved driveway.
