Only good things to say about it from here. We had the driveway, side
path and a fairly large area under a pagola done and it has been
great.

Expansion joints are nearly invisible now days, the pattern looks so
much better than anything plain would look and, long term, there is
not the inevitable maintenance that pavers would require.

It is solid concrete slabs so its behaviour is quite similar. There is
some maintaining required _long_ term when the paint fades.

One tip, it can get quite slippery, especially when wet so it's best
to get a rough texture finish rather than smooth. We thought it looked
better that way anyway.

It cost us a little bit more per sq mtr than paving for the same area.
