Before moving from the North (Michigan) to the South (North Carolina), I had never heard of the concept of fancy driveways. I could not see what the point of them was or how they could be worth the cost. When we retired and moved to The Villages, I saw lots of them but it didn't change my mind. After three years of living happily without one, we moved to a different (and rather nicer) house in a different neighborhood. After all, aren't we required to own 3 or more houses during our stays here? Anyway, the new one has a painted driveway that extends right into the garage and the birdcage has a matching finish. We love it and can't imagine having boring, grey concrete slabs for our driveway, garage or birdcage. As for maintenance, I am clueless and will be following this thread to see what we're going to be needing to do in the future to keep these looking good.
