6 Tips to the Driveway You ALWAYS Wanted

asphalt-driveway-maintenance

Your driveway makes an important statement about you and your home. Your driveway makes a first impression, bad or good. Whether you choose concrete, paving bricks, or asphalt, you need to understand driveway standard basics. Learn how to plan for your new exciting driveway.

Consider Home Value

The numbers are in. Your driveway affects the overall curb appeal of your home, which affects your home value. Do you have a cracked, pothole-covered driveway? Or is your driveway pristine with attractive paving bricks? You can upgrade your home with stamped concrete, fresh asphalt, or an interlocking paver driveway.

Safety First

Your driveway not only provides you with beautiful aesthetics for your home, it also can be a safety hazard if not maintained. You want to protect your vehicles and your guests from dangerous potholes and structural damage. If your driveway has serious structural issues and potholes you need to replace it.

Know the Codes

You need to know the driveway standards and guidelines for your area. Check with the Building and Safety office. The rules may vary depending on your community. If you are part of a homeowner’s association, check the standards. You may have to consider fire truck access.

Meet Driveway Standards

When you plan out your driveway, consider using about 20 feet per car or truck. Take vehicles like minivans, campers, or full-size pickups into consideration if you own them or plan on parking these vehicles in your driveway on a regular basis. A single driveway should be a 20 x 10 ft minimum. Add a few extra feet if possible to allow car doors to open.

Functionality is King

Think about functionality and whether you need access to your truck or front entrance. Think about the location of the garage in relation to your driveway. Do you want to block your garage door if the kids are taking out their bikes from the garage?

Turnaround Driveway Issues

If you have a turnaround driveway you need to figure out what makes the most sense. For example, will cars need to drive backward to get out of your driveway? Do you have enough space to access your garage or front entrance easily? Do you need to worry about accessibility?
