Be very careful about pavers, 1 or 2 neighbors have already had these removed due the high maintenance requirements. We had out drivewat painted, using stencils to look line cobble stone, , that was about 5 years ago, unfortunately, it appears the guy who did our "driveways by jay" may no longer be doing this work. He used a XYLENE based paint which appears to have a very good life time. Just getting ready for the first sealing. I would suggest that whoever you get to paint your driveway use a similar product. Also, if there was any previous finish applied, this will need to be removed ($$$$), IMHO, do NOT allow a new finish to be applied over an old one, I did this by accident, the old one has failed, and now I am stuck with a bad spot in the new finish.....
