The contractor who installed river rock in this area unfortunately died in a motorcycle accident. I don't know if there are any others. We put down concrete overlay over ten years ago. It is a hassle trying to find people to repair and maintain it. They either go out of business, don't respond, or do sloppy work. So before committing to any type of driveway treatment, it'd be wise to figure out if there is a pool of contractors available to maintain it.
