Driveways
Mobility has become a buzzword in this modern age of transportation. A driveway connects your home (the private space) to the world (the public space.) It is the point where you cease to be out in the general fray of things and enter, through the driveway, your safe personal area. In general, people install their driveway to lead into their garage-this makes for easy storage of their vehicle, just drive it right in and let the door shut behind you. Many times in a suburban home, the driveway can double as a basketball court. The net is usually installed on or next to the garage door and in this case, a smooth driveway is usually paved to allow for easy dribbling. As a nexus for you (and if you have a family, for your family) the driveway serves its multiple purposes well.
The material you decide to build your driveway out of is important. Many opt for asphalt as their building material, therefore decreasing the difference of smoothness between the street and the driveway. It is possible to be warned when a guest arrives (this usually occurs at larger, less urban households) by having a gravel driveway-the crunch of the material under a car's tire is like a doorbell warning you of someone's advent. Cobblestone is a much more sentimental, aesthetic type of material to use on a driveway-many times this is seen when a driveway is being installed in a character town or even a village. Cobblestone is quite common in many parts of Europe. Whether it is made of concrete, decorative brick, or even decomposed granite, your driveway is the connection between your private sphere and your public sphere-do not overlook its importance, and pick your materials wisely.
