Agree 100% with the Tinker here. Driveways by Jay does excellent work, and is reasonably priced. Jay has his concrete stain made special for him. He has UV inhibitors in his product, so the colors will not fade over time. Being a stain, it is absorbed by the concrete, rather than just laying on the surface. The color will not chip, fade, peel, flake or crack. No sealer is needed, so there is no ongoing maintenance, other than the occasional power wash. There are tons of driveways he has done here in TV that are now over 10 years old, and still look like they did on Day 1. Any driveway treatment that involves skim coating, or regular sealing is going to be a maintenance headache.
