Do a concrete resurfacer or colored driveway sealer, there are various colors to choose from. Parging a driveway will eventually just crack and be a major mess due to the freeze/thaw and the weight of cars. Parging is normal for walls but not for driveways.

Thanks. Colored driveway sealer (like ColorPave) is probably the best option just adds like 50% to the cost of the driveway. But apparently lasts for more like 7-10 years vs. 2-3 so will save seal coating $ down the road.

Ah, the price of aesthetics...

I have sealed asphalt for years using 94# bags of Portland cement. You spread it with push brooms and then let moisture from the air seal it. Absolutely no water spray for it will not adhere to asphalt. Just sweep power cement evenly over asphalt. I recommend doing this once a year for the first 2-3 years then as you desire. Some places may not adhere as well as others. I have had people ask what is this asphalt or concrete. There will be very little cracking in asphalt because it reflects the heat. Do not apply over asphalt that has been sealed with tar because the surface becomes to slick for Portland cement to adhere. Best if applied in early spring on dry days. Driving and walking on powder cement is all it needs for compaction. Note: it makes a minor mess and the cement blows very little. Have fun.

had this done in the 1950s lasted for30yrs stopped asphalt tracking n going to do on my new drive just so u know sealing a drive way kills the product

What if you screw up ant put water on your driveway. How do I fix it??

@HU-761733182 I don't follow?

Take note that all products containing portland cement and possibly other cement products can cause sever chemical burns if they get on your bare body, in case of exposure you will want to flush with cool to room temp water for 15 minutes, or flush the eyes in the same temp for the same time. And if on the body skin safe acidics like food safe vinegar and citrus can help stop a cement burn faster you just dont want to get it in your eyes. Dont use any skin softening products that will make your skin absorb more cement or products that will seal cement residue to your skin - avoid lanolin a product which is even in soap. Avoid soaps that are more "basic" on the ph scale and try and use ph neutral or slightly acidic ph soaps (numbers slightly less than 7 on the ph scale). Cement burns can lead to severe burns that can go to the bone and lead to skin grafts or disability if not treated properly. Take this seriously.

Over 60 years ago, when I was a youngster, my father had a new asphalt driveway installed. As soon as the crew left, he with the assistance of me and my two younger brothers spread cement powder over the fresh, still warm, asphalt. I don't know where he got the idea. We were merely conscripted labor by birth, so we didn't question the origin nor the practicality of the idea. But, it was genius! The driveway looked unique and lasted decades, never needing the subsequent bi-annual sealing, etc. The only downside I can recall is oil drips from leaky cars did leave a very apparent stain.
