The homeowner wanted to transform an uninspiring gravel driveway into a functional, visually appealing space that would require minimal maintenance. In addition, the design needed to incorporate subtle planting areas and flower beds without compromising the driveway’s usability. With a significant area of 350 square metres to work with, the project demanded a solution that balanced practicality and aesthetics.

Collaborating with a Tobermore Registered Paving Contractor, the homeowner explored options to enhance the driveway while complementing the house’s light-coloured exterior and dark-framed windows. The contractor guided the client through Tobermore’s comprehensive product range, using tools such as sample boards and the Tobermore Visualisation Service. This allowed the homeowner to preview various paving styles and colours, ensuring the chosen design complemented the property.
After careful consideration, the client selected Tegula Slate block paving, a blended grey block that offers a timeless, aged appearance. This choice perfectly complemented the light tones of the house and the contrasting dark window frames.
To further elevate the design, the contractor added distinctive finishing touches:
The completed driveway strikes the perfect balance between practicality and style. The careful craftsmanship of the contractor brought out the best in the Tobermore products, particularly in the intricate border details and precision edging. The Tegula Slate paving, combined with the thoughtful planting and complementary accents, transformed the space into an elegant and low-maintenance feature that enhances the property’s overall kerb appeal.
This project is a testament to the transformative power of Tobermore paving when paired with expert design and installation.
Commenting on the project, the project contractor, Gavin Shute, Acorn Landscapes Ltd, said:
“I was tasked with transforming an unattractive 350 square metre gravel area into a driveway that would enhance the property’s kerb appeal without resembling a car park. The client wanted a design that was both practical and elegant.
Tobermore provided an extensive range of styles and colours to suit the property perfectly. Their Visualisation Service allowed the client to preview how the chosen paving would look against their home, giving them confidence in their decision. The sample boards and Tobermore display stands at the builders’ merchants were invaluable in helping the client see the product up close and appreciate its quality.
With 24 years of experience running a paving company, I always recommend Tobermore for durable, visually striking driveways that stand the test of time.”
