You could do pavers or rock but it isn't real easy. Well, it is easy

compact the pavers and then sweep sand into the joints.

Why do you need a foundation of sand, etc., if laying pavers over
CONCRETE? Isn't that much like putting down (ceramic) tile in the kitchen?

Think of tiling over an irregularly flat surface, and you will have your
answer. It will follow all the whoop de doos on the surface.


I'm thinking Sausalito(?) tile or similar.


I'm thinking clean it up with CLR or whatever, power wash, and paint.
PourStone in the cracks after they have the dirt blasted out of them. Paint
over PourStone doesn't really look all that bad.

Just saw this on Yard Crashers yesterday. They used some process (sorry
I didn't get the name) where you mix epoxy goo, spread it, and then put
some small, slightly larger than pea sized rocks in the epoxy. They
said you do one bucket at a time because of the cure time. It looked
really nice when finished.
