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.

They call that river rock here and it looks great when it is new but
after a few years you are back there putting more epoxy on it. After a
while you are cussing and ripping it out. It was all the rage 20 years
ago and I don't know a single person who did it then who still has it.

i had it in my last house. the epoxy breaks down in the sun, and you
have to (expensively) recoat it with fresh epoxy every few years. it is
also HOT on bare feet if it gets direct sun, but is a lot cooler than
bare concrete around a pool.
