We are buying a place that under the terms of the HUD inspection, has
a driveway that has to be repaired or resurfaced. My wife and I took a
look at it, and since we both grew up in places that had gravel
driveways, we thought it looked fine. I would much prefer a stone
driveway, but it isn't allowed here.
Although the HUD inspection estimated that this needs $1,500 worth of
work, I believe that I should be able to get this driveway back in
decent looking shape for less than a third of that amount. I'm planning
on going out there with my Dewalt drill and wire brush to clear out the
grass & small weeds that have taken root in some of the cracks,
especially along the edges.

Neither my wife nor I like the dark black color that is used to seal
most driveways. We like going barefoot in the summers, and from
personal experience I've found that these black driveways can get far
too hot to walk on when it is sunny. As such, we were hoping to find
something that is a much lighter grey color - something similar to the
limestone gravel that is used in driveways. However, the home
improvement centers don't seem to have anything other than dark black.
My searches online also have not been fruitful in this regard.
Can anyone recommend a high quality resurfacer/sealer that we could
use, but would give it a light grey color instead of black? Thanks!
