Thanks for your response as well! I had heard thin pavers were to be avoided, so I had ruled them out. I noticed a couple of painted driveways where the driveways were blocked off after apparently being resealed.
The concrete overlay does look great, but I was told by one of the installers that they need to be treated every 2-5 years. I was hoping to hear from a few people with the overlayment to see what their experience has been. The rough cost I was given for the "treatment" was around 10% of the original installation. That seemed pretty high, especially if done every two years.

We have friends in Caroline that had pavers installed in 2007. We were over there today and they look just as good as they did 11 years ago. He has them power washed, new sand added, and sealed every two years. You get what you pay for.
