Marc: We have had stamp stained concrete sidewalks for about 20 years. They have remained very attractive but do require re-coating at least every 2 years. Also rain water does not totally drain off and that requires power washing yearly as those areas turn to a green scum. It remains very attractive even though there are stress cracks in a few places. They aren't very noticeable because the sidewalk is narrow, but a neighbor has a stamped driveway and the cracks are very noticeable. When we tore our deck out we went with pavers with porous sand and it remains very attractive with very little maintenance. IMOP I would use some type of paver.
