Custom Ram is the elite of driveway designers, as evidenced by their wait list. The owner is an artist.

Another driveway enhancement process is concrete overlay. We had this done 13 years ago. Would not do it again. It involves applying a colored concrete-like coating to the surface, then sealing. The colors fade in the sun and the sealing wears off. The vendors for this process seem to be a revolving door of going in, then going out of business. Our driveway is in need of patching, color, and sealing for the 3rd or 4th time and I don't know who to call.

Whereas, Custom Ram has been in business a long time because we got a quote from him all those years ago.
