I believe it is 'Del Rio'. This project was completed quite a few years back.

It looks a very good start. Now think about adding more interest to the gravel, perhaps by interspersing the 'lollipop trees' with neat but interesting shrubs. These could be scented such as Sarcoccoca (winter scent), Daphne odora (spring scent)... And adding a border in front of the house with appropriate plants. I would need to now the orientation of the garden and whether the soil is alkaline/acid/neutral and clay/loam/sand/chalk before recommending plants. If you do not need to park a vehicle in front of the house, and with the right soil and aspect you could add a rectangular herb garden.

Here's an update on the work. I've finished the pebbledash first coat, and the painter did the fascias, soffits, door and window. The green I chose came out a lot darker than I thought, but never mind. What do you think? What's left to do is add some nice pots in front, put up the guttering (I'm going to do that now), another coat of the white masonry paint, and of course the most important part, put a cat image in the window!

As someone else has already suggested, i'd opt for a nice gravel laid within a plastic honeycomb grid system to stablise it and keep it uniform. The whole construction should be subbase to avoid the need for planning permission and you can add a stone threshold detail across the width of the entrance from the road to provide an attractive approach and demark the driveway. I think your house is too rustic in appearance to suit tarmac and needs a softer more rural choice of materials to compliment the house, plus you have a large area so planting is crucial to maintain the balance between hard and soft landscaping.

Lainey, boy did I search for cheaper pavers! We went everywhere. When I was looking 2 years ago most pavers were concrete, but the thing that put me off is the red colour fades away on concrete and all the pavers turn grey in the end. They are the sort of pavers people use on drives. However clay pavers are baked hard and the colour is all the way through. They are frost proof too. You can also get brick shaped pavers made of sandstone which are beautiful, but more expensive than concrete. Have a look on Global Stones website for ideas. Nmlondon and Lainey, cats may use pea shingle as a toilet, but I find larger gravel difficult to walk on. Sweeping any chippings isn’t easy, I agree. These are sandstone pavers. Colours are softer:
