Default Looking for original cotractor

The previous owner of my home had the driveway painted and it now needs some maintenance. I have been told it is best to get the original contractor back to ensure incompatible materials are not applied that can damage the finish. But I have no idea who the original contractor was. There seems to be rather unique picture and perhaps if I post it we can identify who applied it. My house is on Markridge Loop in the village of Pennecamp. Please see the attached photo of the driveway art and let me know if you did this work or know who did , or who can. Thank you .

Is there a set of initials or similar in one of the corners? Several of my neighbors have real nice driveway finishes that were signed by the original installer, Hope you find the installer. Also, you are correct that you need to be careful with compatibility of paint, stains, etc.

it's quite striking!

I hope you find someone to preserve it in such good condition.

I hope you tried speaking with the previous owner if they are still available. That might be an excellent source of information. If this artwork is recent a neighbor might recall who did the work.

If you can change the title of the thread to "looking for driveway painter who can paint a pelican" that might catch the original artist's attention if they read this site. Or post a new thread with that title

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately no initials or signature.

Looks like the artwork of Trish Karz. She now does complete driveway finishing. An excellent artist, but in recent years has proven to be not real reliable. Not sure of a contact number, but she has a website.

Check your garage to see if the original contractor left excess paint for touch ups. I know mine did. There may be a name or acct. number on the paint.

Checked, lots of paint to dispose of but nothing for the driveway.
