Neighbors across the street did that on their home & a rental they had on a side street near us. It may just be the tile they chose, but I don't find it particularly attractive. They keep a sign out trying to prevent turn arounds in their drives. Some tires make a high pitch noise when turning in the drive, some don't.....

They have a couple of tile guys there 2 or 3 times a year repairing/replacing tiles. Seems expensive/labor intensive for no better appearance than pavers, thin pavers, colored concrete would have gotten them.
