My driveway was recently completed, and is two distinct colours. Sealant has been put forward as a solution, but the difference can still be seen.

Additionally, @bean1969, getting a map of any easements, services etc is certainly a good idea. As you probably know, you can’t build over easements, and services you may have to spend extra to protect them (can’t remember the technical term for this!) Thanks, I will find out about that tomorrow

I can sign the contract to buy this week (it will be sold to the next buyer if I don't). Is there anything I need to be aware of? It will be pending finance, b...
