Thank you, inv4zn, for chiming in with your insights! For the time being, I don't really have any major questions other than which shop is a quality contractor, so I know I have some homework to do (on reading up masonry / driveway company reviews).

A quick question on the de-icing issue -- how do you prevent the surface deterioration then? Do you just seal it every few years? Would it be fine to start salting when the temperature is noticeably higher -- say at 5°C instead of 2°C -- so that you delay the initial ice formation as much as possible? Or do you just not salt at all? As my driveway is on an incline (uphill to get out of the garage), there is a bit of concern on the de-icing issue there.
