By definition, driveway landscape design is the deliberate construction of a functional hardscape with a high aesthetic impact on the surrounding landscape. Walls and fences create vertical impact and style, while flower beds, shrubs, and trees soften an otherwise plain surface into a vibrant area of eye-catching presence and life. The direction and shape of the driveway itself is based upon the size and architecture of the nearby home, the amount of lawn space in the front yard, and the design considerations of the landscape master plan as a whole. The intent of driveway landscape design is always to use the driveway to move the eye towards one or more special points of interest just like the pavement helps move the car toward the garage. Direction, size, and construction materials therefore vary widely on a per case basis.
