How to paint a driveway and sidewalk?

The actual painting part is pretty straightforward...roll on the paint with a roller attached to a pole. The most important thing is the paint. Make sure you get a high quality paint from a paint store, not from Lowe’s or Home Depot. They’re great stores but you want to buy from somewhere that only deals with paint. They’ll be able to answer all your questions and give you good advice. You’ll pay more, but it will work out in the long run when you don’t have to paint again next year.

HI Peg, You'll need to power wash first to get as much of the old paint, dirt and grime off. Now would also be a great time to fix any cracks you may have. Depending on what design you want, you could get a driveway stencil. This link has a lot of nice ideas for driveway designs: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/393431717421625360/?lp=true
