Natural Limestone Driveway Design and Installation in Laurel Hollow NY

limestoneLaurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installation2Don’t overlook the beauty of your driveway, we recently completed a natural limestone driveway design and installation in Laurel Hollow NY. A simple way to enhance your curb appeal is by using limestone pavers for your driveway. Rich creamy tans, weathered grays, deep burgundies – limestone’s natural palette provides options for any style. The stone’s hardy composition stands up to vehicles while adding elegance to the entrance.

Usually, the driveway is an entry point when your guests come with cars or a vehicle. They will examine your home based on driveway experiences. So, it is a good opportunity to improve the beauty of the driveway by selecting the right material for its construction and decorating the landscape surrounding it throughout the entire path.

Limestone is an eco-friendly paving material, as it’s a natural material that requires little to no treatment when installed for a driveway.  Natural limestone is the ideal choice if you want to bring natural beauty to your outside with its distinctive colors and subtle texture. Quarried straight from the earth, with no chemicals, pure in its habitat state guaranteeing you or no one else will have a paver the same!

Why Is Limestone Good For A Driveway?

The porous nature of limestone lets water drain through quickly, to prevent water logging or standing water. If you live in a region that gets lots of rain, this feature can be a game-changer that saves you from dealing with a water-logged driveway.

Limestone has become a popular construction material for driveways due to its durability and ease of installation.  It is a strong, durable, and heat-resistant material. When subjected to heavy loads and high temperatures, it does not crack or crumble easily.  This quality in a paver is attractive to homeowners especially because it is also highly resistant to weathering due to its high tannin content. They are perfect for areas that experience heavy downpours or snowfall.  The stone can withstand frost-freezing cycles without chipping off when properly installed with adequate support underneath it during installation.

  • Up to 10 times stronger than concrete
  • Pre-cut sizes and gauged thickness
  • Choice of installation methods, no new techniques
  • Unique and attractive with great color choices
  • Will not fade or expose aggregate over time
  • Frost resistant and long-lasting
  • Recyclable and eco-friendly

What Driveway Paver Size Are You Considering?

A shift to large-format natural stone for both residential and commercial driveway systems is gaining popularity. Natural stone in all formats–traditional (small 4”x4”, 6”x6” cubes or random length) or the larger formats (which are gaining traction with architects and designers–with its aesthetic and structural benefits), makes it a strong alternative to concrete pavers.

What Are the Different Types of Limestone Paving Textures & Colors?

When it comes to limestone paving, the options are incredibly diverse. We encourage you to explore the various types of limestone available. Each offers unique textures and colors to suit different aesthetic preferences. For example, you can opt for the elegance of beige or cream-toned limestone, or the warmth of golden or honey-colored limestone. Some types of limestone may showcase natural veining or fossils, adding further character and charm to your outdoor space. Choose from smooth and polished finishes to textured or antiqued surfaces; you can’t go wrong. The different types of limestone paving allow you to create a truly custom look that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.

Laurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installationCreate Interesting Patterns with Limestones in Your Driveway

We know natural stones come in various sizes and shapes. If we select square and rectangular shapes and the different sizes of slabs, we can end with an interesting design pattern. You can also leave some grouts wide and create thin belts in your design. Natural variations in stones give it a rustic look and different colors and hues add a decent charm to the driveway design patterns. Limestone and slates are the most befitting material for the creation of such stone designs and patterns.

Even though driveways are more about functionality rather than their looks, your cars deserve a beautiful parking spot! Pretty driveways are getting popular today as they add great value to your property and boost its curb appeal.

Laurel-Hollow-Natural-Limestone-Driveway-design-and-installation1Natural Limestone Driveway Design and Installation in Laurel Hollow NY

This large driveway was designed and installed by Gappsi in Laurel Hollow NY. The apron of the driveway was paved with granite 6×9 tumbled pavers. The driveway is all natural stones, a combination of granite and limestone. The main field of the driveway we used was a small set home paver G045 limestone leading to the courtyard front door. In the front courtyard, we used Gappsi G046 small set of limestone. It is a beautiful combination of all-natural colors, browns, grays, maroons, and blue. We also installed a Belgian block border. The all-driveway blue limestone was bordered with beige granite.

This is a very large driveway with over 15,000 square feet of natural stone pavers. There is also a courtyard in the back area of the house, leading to the garage doors. The backyard includes a raised patio where we used cultured stones along with Eldorado cultured stones, and veneered coping with travertine. Beautiful colors of the natural stones. The driveway was completed over 10 years ago.  Our Cleaning and Sealing team sealed the driveway and resanded the joints. We used high-quality sealers and the best quality polymeric sand; it looks better than it ever has. This is the latest job by Gappsi in Laurel Hollow NY.

Flamed Granite Pavers For Driveways

Flamed Granite Pavers For Driveways

Flamed Granite pavers driveway

Why should you use Granite Pavers when paving your driveway?

Granite is a very common type of rock, flamed granite is another hard-wearing granite paver you can use. The flamed finish provides that extra grip surface. The flames granite is very dense because it has been torched with a flame to cause an exfoliated finish, commonly known as a “Flamed” finish.  The flamed finish provides the stone with a high grip surface, hence its popularity for domestic and commercial jobs.

Gappsi’s Flamed Granite Pavers are widely used in the home, on patios, decks, and around commercial properties. Granite has been used in construction for tens of thousands of years now. It is a popular stone also due to its very tough and durable nature along with an abundant stone.  Most granite deposits are massive making the cost lower compared to some of the other types of stone used in construction. Granite is quite beautiful and is often preferred in areas where style is the primary concern as opposed to the functionality of the area the stone is used in.

What is the texture & color of granite?

Granite has a coarse to medium texture and can come in a wide range of colors including shades of pink and grey. The color depends entirely on the chemistry and different minerals making up the stone. Generally, different areas will have stones of a slightly different shade and a common feature is the different colors within any slab of stone. The overall hue will usually range from gray to pink, but within are shades of both pink and gray are tan, black, and white as well as a clear or shiny crystal.

Granite Pavers Used In Construction

Most projects are completed and installed over a recycled concrete base (RCA) then the flamed granite pavers are installed over one inch of sand with Surebond polymeric sand to fill the joints between the pavers. Additionally, gray granite Belgian blocks are used to retain the earth next to driveway borders.

We created a compass star aligned with the door, to highlight the entrance to the house. It’s a circular driveway with a separate driveway for the garage doors. The color of the pavers matches the roof tiles of the house, a combination of beige maroon rust and the blue limestone for the aprons of all the entrances of the driveway. The installation of the driveway started with the excavation of the soil and the installation of the RCA base.

Flamed Granite Pavers Driveway

The driveway in the pictures above was constructed using a 10-inch RCA base, and granite:

  • The pavers were installed on one inch of fine sand
  • Paving stone sizes were 6”x 9” with a flamed and tumbled texture finish.
  • The flamed granite pavers are 1-1/4” thick
  • Flamed granite pavers are a great choice because they can be used for pedestrian and vehicular trafficked areas.
  • The joints in between the pavers were filled with polymeric sand, then compacted with a mechanical vibratory plate and sealed.

That is not to say there are not a number of advantages though:
1. Granite is durable, it is a very hard stone and will last for years with little or no wear. In fact, many who carve monuments have begun switching from marble to granite due to increased acid rain, which over years will degrade the marble more so than granite.
2. Granite is beautiful because it comes in a wide range of shades, plus polished granite can be a truly stylish addition to nearly any home or building.
3. Granite compared to other stones is more affordable due to its abundance.
