I just had a new driveway poured. I asked the contractor before he
began if the pollen blooms would cause a problem. He said no. Wrong.
The pollen blooms embedded into the concrete, and now I have little
squiggly marks all over the driveway; plus a leaf also embedded into
it and when I rubbed my hand across it, the concrete started to break
up around it. If I decide to just put some concrete on the leaf mark,
will that take care of that problem? Also, will the marks made by the
pollen blooms eventually fade?

It's a driveway, for Pete's sake, not fine furniture.

Just tell everyone that it was VERY expensive to get stained concrete in
that shade.

I would hope not. Decoratve touches like that add value to the home.

Someday, when we have no more trees, this will be as valuable as the
fossil of a dinosaur footprint.
