We don’t normally worry about snow removal or significant ice accumulation. This is not NC or anywhere up north; this Florida! Covering your driveway is a personal preference. In my first house I left it natural; in my second house we painted the driveway and the garage (different coating system). It makes a big difference aesthetically AND it is cleaner. No oil stains, no tire tracks, and no water stains. We track in much less dirt with the garage and driveway coated.

The lowest maintenance option was my preference. Use a stain then a paint on the driveway; a different product in the garage. We checked out several contractors work and spoke to several homeowners who used Driveways by Jay. No maintenance and no sealing needed. No need to pressure was the driveway, just a hose and a broom. I mop the garage floor with either Vinegar or Dawn Dishwashing detergent as needed. Easy peasey!

Pavers are an ongoing maintenance issue, I’m not familiar with River rock driveway coating. I’ve seen it in lanais and patios it but not on driveways.

Regardless of what you choose, get ARC approval. It will avoid any hassles down the road. Approval is quick and easy and may protect you from possibly making a mistake.
