Asphalt driveway edging is an important part of creating a professional-looking asphalt driveway. There are many different types of edging that you can choose from, but if you want to create your own design, there are some things to consider before you start laying down the edgings. Our experts have put together some ideas to help you get started:
Belgian Blocks
Belgian block is a large type of stone that is used for many different types of edging. It can be difficult to work with, but it creates a very professional look. The size of the blocks also makes it a good choice for large driveways.
Belgian block was originally used by land developers due to its durability and affordability. It is often used as the foundation of buildings because it can withstand large amounts of pressure without breaking up which makes this material a good option for commercial and residential tarmac driveways.
Cobblestone
Cobblestone is an excellent choice for driveway edging because it is very durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It is also a good choice for areas that experience a lot of rainfall because it does not absorb water as some other materials do.
If you are looking for a traditional look for your driveway, cobblestone is a great option. The rustic appearance of the stones can give your driveway a timeless feel.
Metal
Metal driveway edging is a more modern option and comes in a variety of styles to suit your needs. It is also very durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear.
The main benefit with metal is there are a wide variety of styles to choose from and it is low- maintenance. For example, flexible metal edging can be installed in just minutes.
If you are looking for something more decorative, ornamental metal is an excellent choice to give your driveway a stylish look. Decorative metal has the added benefit of being very resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for areas that experience high levels of rainfall or humidity.
Concrete/Brick
Concrete or brick are the most popular driveway edging materials for property developers and homeowners. These materials are durable, easy to install and come in a variety of colours and textures to match your home’s exterior.
The most popular material for outdoor living is because it complements most home and landscaping designs.
If you want something that will add value to your home while making the driveway look elegant at the same time, decorative concrete or brick edging is a great option for you.
Conclusion
Choosing the right material for your asphalt driveway edging can be an overwhelming task. There are many different types of materials to choose from like Belgian blocks, cobblestone or metal.
