: I have made a business in Texas staining and stenciling driveways and walks. I use H & C stains and they work well for me. Just make sure that you acid wash and use degreaser to clean the driveway very well before applying the stain.
: 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.
