More driveway research

As we are in such a mess at the moment, there's been quite a bit of frantic research this week. I thought it would be hard to get excited about concrete.  It's not very sexy.  But actually concrete aggregate can be really beautiful (especially compared to the mud we currently have). 

Here are my favourite colours, which I mentioned I want to border with granite cobbles.  Colours are sourced from Dambra.  I love their lightness, which I hope will blend in with the colour of our house (Dulux Barrister White).  I hope the picture in my head will translate to reality OK!

BARWON
Beachy comes to mind. This mix has a beautiful white to biscuit colored quartz pebble in a beach coloured sand base. Looks great with sandstone and light pastel colours.

BURRINDI
A stunning blend of quartz type smooth pebbles with a scattering of black basalt throughout. Featuring a bone coloured background, highlighting a brilliant stone colour. Can be bordered with sawn bluestone to create a unique look.
