We moved into our new house this Spring. For the small lot we have a relatively big concrete driveway. I would like to protect it from the freeze thaw cycle in the Winter. I was thinking densifier and sealant but I am suffering from product overload. What would you recommend - the driveway has enough room for 7 cars (I have not measured it precisely).

Look at Ghostshield products. I used the 8505 product after the 4500 densifier. The 8505 is salt and freeze resistant. One of the vendors here handles the product.

Would this be the best solution for concrete pavers as well?

The typical paver sealers are a maintainance headache in themselves...

Ghostshield has quite a few products for concrete type projects. Google the information but personally I would use both again in a heart beat.

I purchased a home a couple of months ago with a large driveway. The previous owners took good care of the concrete and told me they sealed it every two years at the begining of fall. They told me it is due this year to be sealed again. Do I need the densifier or would I be ok with the 8505 sealer alone?

I need to measure the driveway, but this may give an idea. The detached garage is 24x30.

You are going to want to find out what they sealed it with. Likely the best thing is to go back with the same product
