1. Does it really NOT stain from any car/golf cart debris? (oil,gas ??)
2. Are you happy with it?
3. Any regrets ?
4. Anything you wish you would've done differently?

Any advice you could give us would be appreciated!!!
I bought my 2002 Lantana in 2010. It had chattahoochee riverrock on the lanai when I bought it that is now 12 years old. It is still in good shape and looks attractive but I have to recoat with sealer every year. It also can get black mold/algae on it and I have to power wash it a couple times a year (may be because my lanai is surrounded by hedges, palm trees and oak trees).

I know it needs recoating when the pool guy complains that loose pebbles are getting in the pool filters.

I just put epoxy on my garage floor a few weeks ago. I would never have considered the riverrock for that application.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
