Layout options for driveways at Bishopbriggs residences – which shape will you choose?

There are many options for shapes and sizes when it comes to creating driveways at Bishopbriggs properties; in many cases, it can seem an almost daunting prospect to choose the ‘right’ one for you and your property. After all, getting it ‘wrong’ can be a source of ongoing frustration for years if you cannot afford to change it!

And so, we have created a set of questions that you need to answer in order to decide between circular, curved or straight driveways…

1)      How do you want your driveway to function? Do you need ‘turn around’ space, for example?

2)      Where is the garage positioned (if you have one)?

3)      What is the terrain or landscape like?

4)      What is the look or impression you want the driveway to make?

Once you have some outline answers to these, you can now take a look at the shape you could opt for (*all these options are subject to space!)

Circular driveways can create quite a majestic impression for a Bishopbriggs property, but they can also take a lot of the room too. Some people call this a horseshoe as the entrance from the road curves away from the property initially and then curves back on itself. Popular with homeowners who do not want a reverse on the main road or reverse in to the driveway, as it provides a delightful clear sweep. However, if space is tight, you may find that this kind of driveway is a step too far…

Curved driveways tend to be more irregular in shape that a circular or horseshoe one and are common at Bishopbriggs properties where driveways do not line up the garage to the entrance of the property; in other words, the garage if off-set. But, some homeowners find this is the right layout for them by default, as there may be immoveable obstacles in the way of another shaped driveway; for example, a large tree can be left where it is, but the driveway curved around it.

Straight driveways at Bishopbriggs properties can be the perfect, ideal shape, offering secure access and departure from the drive onto the road. In many cases, the amount of space that is available dictates that the safest and most obvious option is to create a rectangular or square space on which to create a delightful driveway.

However, this doesn’t mean that straight driveways at Bishopbriggs need be boring; in fact, far from it! Driveways of this ilk can be made into sweeping, delightful driveways especially with the right material to create the right impression…
