Driveway applications are done usually for appearance reasons since the concrete used in these Florida driveways easily discolors and stains from almost everything; water leaves a rusty stain look, especially when the eaves drain onto the driveway, tires leave a black appearance, iron fertilizer leaves rust spots, etc. I tried the pavers in my first home and they are nice but problems often occur with edge pieces coming loose, cracks, etc. In my current home, I opted for the decorative concrete coating driveway which is absolutely beautiful and is sealed for lasting durability. All driveways must be sealed whether you opt for paint, pavers or coatings, but the concrete coatings lasts for a lifetime if properly sealed every 2-3 years ($100 max) and is far superior in appearance in my opinion and experience. Ram Custom Design did my driveway.
