: There are many contractors
: and products (especially in Australia) who offer services in stencilling and
: stamping. I had to dig a bit for stencilling existing concrete. Be sure
: that you acid wash (surface etch) the drive and take care of any cracks
: which may have developed. Many of the stenciling or staining is done while
: the concrete is still wet. Note that staining is different from painting
: and for the drive you really want the stain.
