Winter can make driveways look unappealing and uninviting. With some creativity, you can turn your driveway into a little winter wonderland:
- Design a Frost-Resistant Mulch Bed: Mulching around the edges of your driveway helps to protect plants. There are frost-resistant mulches such as pine straw and bark chips that hold their form during wet or icy conditions.
- Add Winter-Hardy Plants: Even during the winter plants can be a nice touch to your driveway. Choose evergreens such as boxwoods, junipers, or spruces to line your driveway. Spruces look especially aesthetic when there’s snow on them.
- Focus on Snow-Tolerant Ground Cover: The edges of driveways can look muddy throughout the winter due to snow and traffic. Instead of having grass along the edges of your driveway, you could plant creeping juniper or thyme.
