Driveways are one of the first things people see when they arrive at your home. But while concrete and asphalt driveways are functional, they often look plain, lack character, and eventually develop worn edges. One of the most effective ways to upgrade a driveway—without replacing the entire surface—is by adding paver driveway aprons and borders.
A paver border or apron adds contrast, refinement, and structural strength to your driveway. It creates a polished frame that enhances curb appeal while also helping prevent edge breakup, cracking, and shifting. Whether your driveway is brand new or years old, pavers provide a high-end finish that lasts.
In this blog, we’ll explore how paver aprons and borders transform your driveway, the best design options, the benefits beyond aesthetics, and why Driftwood Landscape is the expert in clean, long-lasting paver installations.
