I would love to have any recommendations too please!

@imtryingtoleave did you go for one in the end? Are you pleased with it?

You need to wait at least a few months before sealing it.

Thank you! Does is have a very wet look, or just bring the colour out a bit?

Yes, it was laid in May and we’re getting it cleaned up ready to seal
in the next week or so.

When it rains the colour does come out a little but once dry I would say the original colour
