I had Patterned Concrete install a driveway in 2007. Credit where credit is due-the concrete has lasted well and the driveway was sculpted, in spite of a very level surface, to drain away from the house. However, the colour was put on at the last stage of the process in drizzly cool mid-October weather. EVERY spring, I have spalding freckles where the seal has peeled off, taking colour with it. Meadowville/Patterned Concrete would not take responsibility for this. For six years, the colour would be repaired and resealed in June as I used up a $1500 warranty. After that, Meadowville wanted about $1500 per year to do the surface repair. See the pictures below. The driveway once repaired, looks great. But $1500 EVERY year? Disappointed. I have been told by several concrete experts that this annual problem was due to a poor choice of installation conditions on Meadowville/Patterned Concrete's part.
