Liquid Limestone, pros and cons

Liquid limestone has many uses in landscaping, including driveways, patios, pathways, and around pools. The advantage of using liquid limestone, also known as poured limestone, rather than paving, is no gaps between pavers means nowhere for weeds to grow through, and no place for ants to burrow.Liquid limestone is perfect for modern gardens, due to its low maintenance, but as its made from natural limestone, suits any landscaping style.
As it is made from limestone, it doesn't get hot in the sun, and the cement added means it strong and durable enough for creating beautiful driveways. Ask a professional about the different requirements of the pour for different applications.

Different patterns can be cut into the surface of the limestone at the correct stage of curing so you can choose a pattern or texture that suits your landscape.

So what are the cons? Well there is one clear con that I can think of, which may or may not apply to your situation. Once its down, its down. Unlike pavers, it can not be lifted and put back down, so be sure that the area is the way you want it. 
Because there are no gaps, just like with poured concrete, you may need to consider drainage and soakwells for rain water run off.
