Old asphalt driveway lack curb appeal

Hello my fellow BP members who specialize in fix and flip. I need your input regrading drive way repair. Just recently I was able to lock down a house on contract to rehab and flip. This is the first time we encountered where the drive way is so beyond touch up repair. Basically the old owner has a combo of fixes using concrete and asphalt. To really compete with the current home market area I was suggested by a contractor to just go in and tear everything out and replace with a new concrete. Has anyone done anything creative when building a drive way in order to save cost and actually creates a nice curb appeal? Input is much appreciated.

asphalt driveways suck. or asphalt patios. they are hot, melt, people and cars drag tar everywhere, even in the house. yuck.

nothing's better than concrete that's done right. yes, brick pavers look 400x better, but the cost is much higher too!
