No, I didn't do it at the time I upgraded my driveway from dirt. I did stamped/colored concrete and regret every time I sweep and see that they came back AFTER the stamp and a bit of curing to SAW stress lines into the concrete.
From what I've read the stamped asphalt is easily repairable since they reheat the asphalt to lay in the stamp. The color sealant they use has an 6 year lifespan and acts like a seal coat.

Still waiting for approval from our homeowner's association before we can actually schedule the install, but once that's done I'll post some close ups of the new driveway.

Yesterday I wake up to hear the neighbors across the street getting their driveway seal coated. The workers put a couple of stakes in the ground with a strip of red plastic tape hanging between them about 1' off the ground.

I got home last night to see that someone forgot that they weren't supposed to use the driveway for a couple of days.
