what looked like big rubber moulds on it to make it look like paving.

This is OK *BUT*:

If you're using cement dye, it must be incorporated into the mix, not
be just a surface coating, else it *will* wear and look scabby;

Its not just a dye though, its a blend of pigment, cement and aggregate
that gives you a hard wearing surface

If you need to dig up the drive to get at anything, it can be awkward.
