Walked on a few around my area. Look ok, slippery when wet and easier to maintain. However, I think blocked paving looks poor anyway and good old black tarmac looks a much better class- so what do I know!

Thumbs up

Here's our imprinted drive. Been down for about 4 years now. Overall pleased with it. It does need to be re sealed every 3 years or so. But love the fact that you don't get any weed growth or discolouration from algae etc on it.

I do like block paving but compared to this I don't think it lasts as well.




Cheers Rob

You have to walk across a drive like that very slowly indeed, especially in the wet! But you shouldn't get fined though.

My dad had his done about 6 years ago. Looks great, just needs re-laquering now and again which is easy DIY job. No gaps for weeds to grow through or blocks to become loose. It will be my personal choice once I eventually get the driveway sorted!
