Could you provide the company that did your driveway?
Thank you so much!

My research on TOTV led me to get quotes from:
- Edison ConCreations (352)406-8775 multiple reccos, great reviews
- DECORATIVE CONCRETE OF CENTRAL FLORIDA, INC., Cliff, (352) 620-9561 or 352-220-8766 multi reccos
- B&D Driveway Designs 352-455-9614 multi reccos
On the design, we spent several months (riding our bikes through the neighborhoods) looking at other driveways, deciding which ones we liked and what we thought would look good with our house colors. We did not care for the matte finish ones, but did ensure that although ours is slightly shiny it has good traction when wet. We opted for a design that was not really 'artistic', so it blends with the house instead of drawing attention to itself - personal preference, and the result of a LOT of looking and discussing.
We found that the companies that gave bids all had binders of examples and could pretty much do most of the patterns we saw. Our job wasn't just the driveway/front walk; we also had a birdcage that had been badly painted and was peeling which needed to be ground off then treated, plus a large concrete patio.
Our bids ranged from $3k to $5k, and I think any of the three would have done a great job. I suspect it would have been higher if it had been a complicated and artistic depiction.
