Default Village Homes Concrete Driveway Discoloration

Has anyone noticed a lot of concrete driveway discoloration caused by curing or something else? If so, is it prevalent or is it isolated to certain neighborhoods or building timeframes?
Thanks for your assistance.

I have noticed, within the last couple of months, a lot of lighter splotches on our driveway. Hard to explain how they look, and almost impossible to get a picture that will show them. Our driveway has that faux type surface, which I don't like anyway, but neighbors just told me they are paying $14.50 a sq. ft. to put pavers down. Yikes!!

We are just south of 466, in Tall Trees. Haven't notied it in the neighbor' drives.

Do you have an electric golf cart? May be acid stains from over filling the batteries.

We don't have an electric cart and our splotches are all over the drive, about every 8-10 inches, or so. Also, they don't look like they are caused by some chemical, more like a sun bleaching. Really strange...
We have a construction guy coming out next week to talk about other things. Maybe he will be able to tell us what's going on.
