One word:
SUNDEK

Sunstamp is probably one of the best products ever made in terms of Stamped Concrete Overlay, and this company started Decorative concrete back in the 1970's. Been in business for 37 years.
GREAT STUFF!!!.
Hope this helps.

I used Kleeman to decorate my driveway. Wifey got a bit upset.
We looked into stamped concrete but we have a huge driveway. I also need to plow in the winter and felt good old asphalt would be good enough. I'm not worried about the stripes because this is only the binder coat. Top coat will be done after the heavy equipment is done.

Not a problem as long as it's all installed correctly...my landscaper friend who did mine parks a 20,000lb dumptruck on his driveway every night and no problem after 5+ years.......and as far as a jack.....even if you cracked one...you just make sure they leave you 20 or 30 spares....you could remove it with a penknife and replace it in about 30 seconds......

Depends on where you live and weather. In the wet NW. replaced the pavers w/stamped concrete b/c weeds would grow through constantly, then they would get mossy. Don't believe you would have that issue in So. CA. then you could also install a weed barrier under the pavers too.

It can be made to look like tiles.
