We are almost at handover with our new house and are now onto landscaping.

We are looking at colour through concrete on the driveway. One of the landscapers we spoke to suggested that we let it weather naturally and not seal the driveway as this can cause alot of problems with uneven colour, flaking etc. He suggested we seal the alfresco area exposed aggregate as we will have food, drinks etc out there and the sealer will save the concrete from spillages etc.

Any opinions on the not sealing the driveway? Sealers seem to be a popular topic in this section.

Seal both. Uneven color and flaking will only arise from poor product or workmanship with the concrete and not the sealer IMO
