Sounds like great construction, but probably overkill for where we live and our intended use. We don't have winter temperatures, or show or ice.

Yes, many people here in the southwest have colored concrete for their driveways, walks, and patios.

This sounds more like what I should do. Depending on costs, I might go with a thicker asphalt for durability, even though I don't really expect to have heavy vehicles on it.
Thanks!

Never seen black concrete, or any real dark shades in any color. It'd have to be real dark to get any noticeable solar heating benefits. I suppose you could paint concrete with the asphalt sealing goop, but it probably wouldn't stick very well, and even on broom finish, it would make it slick.
Don't get me wrong- if up-front cost is no object, well-laid concrete is the clear winner. The snow-melt thing is just a side benefit that helps people like me take solace in being lower on the food chain. But with my sloped driveway (which are pretty common around here in spite of the flat terrain), it is an advantage.
