au contraire, 'River Rock' does NOT fade in sunlight - direct or not,,, its the non-uv-resistant water-based epoxy mixed w/the rock that fades,,, graded river aggregate ( river rock ) is as God made it - color-fast,,, does the resurfacing material need to be sealed ? yes but only annually,,, good scrubbing w/pressure wshr ( turbo nozzle's best ) & dawn dish detergent followed by 2 rinses - allow to dry & seal,,, 1 can use solvent based sealer over chattahoochee w/good results even tho the epoxy is generally wtr-based
generally speaking, pavers won't require any maint other than perhaps washing,,, sealing's not a rqmnt,,, can't imagine what maint pavers need,,, re-level due to parking on the same spot causing some depression ? inadequate paver base material ? weak materials ? insufficient depth of base materials ?

we still install driveways up in atl awaiting our closing & move to tv in may,,, if all in your 'hood have decorated driveways 'cept you, there's a diminished street/curb cred/value/appeal,,, if yours is the only decorated 1, you get some props + a positive bump in comps,,, if yours is a mess - you can figure out the rest,,, we install regular driveways, pavers, decorative concrete, & epoxy flooring

iirc, your best remodeling $ return's still kitchen & bath
