    Personally I wouldnt do it. Obviously you need to have the basics in order to get a good price, but IMO you should leave anything that could be considered a finishing touch up to the new owners. They might see tarmac and think "how much is it going to cost me to rip that up and put in a gravel driveway/paving" whatever their tastes are.

    When I was looking for a house I hated seeing things that were clearly recently done but just not to my taste. I knew I'd have to rip them out so they added no value to me.
