Our driveway project was just completed so I can't refer to the durability yet, but I can share our thought process in making the decision to go with Custom Ram Design and the 'sprayed on' colored cement application that they use.
Like you, we were considering pavers. Several of our friends and neighbors have pavers. Some like them, some have had problems with breakage. Because of the possibility of cracking and the raised lip that pavers create at the edge of the garage door, we opted for the cement application. Pricing was very close.
There are probably several companies in the area that do this type of work, I highly recommend Custom Ram Design. Carlos (owner & artist) is very talented. The entire crew had excellent work ethic - very nice young men to work with.
Several people on TOTV will tell you not to pay up front for any services you have done. For the most part I agree, but for this project we did make installments along the way. Ram Design asks for a percentage up front to get you on the calendar. Then, you pay a percentage when Carlos meets with you to 'design' your driveway project. Another percentage is paid when the work begins and the balance is paid upon completion. We had no problem with this because Custom Ram Design is a well established company.
If you would like to see the work we just had done, PM me and I will send you the address.
