A driveway is an essential part on any real-estate property. A driveway is normally seen in two types.

2) A driveway that leads to the garage. 9in case of small houses
As a general rule driveway is responsible to connect the internal parts of the plot to the main outer road. So vehicular movement is quite obvious. Taking this into consideration the material is normally concrete roads, or tar roads for the driveway.
Driveway landscaping has got another important aspect attached to it. A driveway and it’s surroundings will create the first impression about the property in the visitors mind. If the surroundings are disorganized or not planned it will create a poor impression which the visitor will carry with him for a long time.
Depending upon what impression you want to cast and the overall design theme of the rest of your garden, you will design a driveway-landscaping project. Do you want to show grandness? Then a driveway with a vista formation will palm trees can create that effect.
You can also try planning flowering plants in the form of flowerbeds along the length of the driveway. This creates a welcoming effect and is good for the overall impression of the garden. However if the driveway is long enough, maintaining such a long length of flowerbed is necessary.
It is not always necessary to plant trees along the driveway. A simple brick or stonewall with pockets to plant bushes at regular intervals can also create a nice balancing impression. To be more creative you can use murals on the wall surface and artificial lighting to ad some creative touch. The lighting at the nighttime will help in creating illumination as well as guide the visitor toward the main building easily.
