Ribbon driveways, banding and geometric patterns make a narrow or awkward plot read wider without taking more garden. What works, and what each needs.

Most resin driveways aged three to ten years can be repaired, not replaced. What is fixable, what patching costs, and when a rebuild is the honest answer.
