When choosing a driveway design, you may not be aware that there are many shapes to choose from. Depending on your style of home and how much space is on your property, certain shapes may be better suited than others. Here are some of the main shapes that can be designed and installed on your property. 

3 Popular Driveway Shapes

1. Straight

The type of driveway that most people are familiar with is straight paths. These pavings are simple to design and install and are suitable for all property sizes. They complement most family homes and are commonly seen in neighborhoods with homes that are in close proximity to one another. Although this is a basic shape, these driveways can be accented with detailed paver stones or additional landscaping to add some aesthetic.

2. Circular

Circular driveways are more common in front of larger-sized homes. They take up a lot more space, giving you room to pull your car up and around to make it easier to get out. These driveways are ideal for houses with multiple cars, homeowners who frequently host events and have many visitors, or buildings need busy roads where it's difficult to back up. 

3. L-Shaped

L-shaped driveways are practical for certain property designs. These paths allow vehicles to be parked out of roadside view and can make space for landscaping and gardening layouts. Many homes with personal garages have this style of driveway, making it easy for vehicles to enter and exit housing structures. These driveways are also good for families that need space for multiple cars.
