Driveway success: transforming your home’s exterior with steel edging
Your home is a sanctuary where you can experience peace, joy and comfort. But people often solely focus on the interior of their homes and overlook the exterior for the pleasures it can bring. A well-maintained driveway immeasurably enhances how a property looks while creating a welcoming and warm first impression. Many homeowners think about curb appeal only when they're selling their house. Yet, maintaining and improving the exterior of your home brings daily satisfaction each and every time you come home or look out of a window.
Driveways often fall victim to neglect despite their critical role in functionality and how the home is perceived and enjoyed. Signs of neglect include overgrown vegetation, cracked surfaces, pooling rainwater and uneven edges. Regular maintenance and attention are required to refresh and sustain the aesthetic and safety of the driveway.
In this article, EverEdge NZ share how steel landscape edging transforms driveways and garden designs, while delivering exceptional bonus benefits too.
Defines borders and clear lines of driveway edging
Whether your drive is made of concrete, tarmac, asphalt or gravel, drive edging adds structure and prevents weeds or lawn from encroaching. The clear division of the drive and the surrounding landscape delivers a long lasting polished and tidy finish.
Drive edging to complement the property and garden design
Choose from CorTen or Classic galvanized powder-coated steel edging to perfectly complement your property and garden design. Whether you prefer a rustic look or a sleek contemporary edging finish, there's an option to complement the property for a cohesive aesthetic. With its flexibility, steel driveway edging effortlessly conforms to the curves of your drive, garden beds, or paths for a seamless integration into your garden landscape.
What’s the difference between Corten steel edging and Classic?
Corten steel develops a unique patina through the natural weathering process, a warm and rusty hue. The Classic steel edging is available in brown or black. Both steel garden edging options are climate resistant and heavy duty, strong enough to drive over for decades.
Improves driveway safety
In addition to enhancing the appearance of a driveway, edging also boosts its safety. Loose driveway materials and garden debris pose a skid risk, while chippings can cause damage to car paintwork. Steel edging not only prevents material movement on the drive but also stops erosion and shifting, resulting in lower maintenance and repair expenses over the long term.
Improves drive drainage
Edging serves as a barrier, preventing soil and debris from encroaching onto the drive's surface and clogging drainage channels. With quality garden edging in place, rainwater efficiently flows off the drive reducing the risk of flooding or water pooling. By maintaining the integrity of surrounding landscaping, excess water is directed away from vulnerable areas.
