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

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

Maybe if you set them in mortor. If you just lay them on concrete, they will
quickly start cracking. If you set them in mortor, thay will crack with the
concrete.



you'd put down an anti-fracture surface first.

you're thinking of saltillo tiles.
