Resurfacing exposed aggregate: What are my options?
I recently had a new retaining wall built from gray retaining wall block with a split face. Now as I look to rejuvenate our patio I think it needs to be updated to match the retaining wall.
The patio is of exposed aggregate concrete. Minus one minor crack it is in excellent condition. I had thought of laying thin pavers over it, but then wondered what other options are out there.
Can anyone comment on the options available to resurface exposed aggregate concrete?

No freeze-thaw they they make various cement & epoxy coatings but have never had the pleasure of applying.
I have some spalling on a section of my driveway and every year I keep wanting to try some of the epoxy material that my local concrete store has just to see if it will survive the winter, maybe this fall!

I live near Nashville, TN. We have mild winters, but it does freeze here. I was considering some of those thin pavers. I have seen the installation over concrete. I could do that. My issue would be the steps. They are formed also in exposed aggregate. The top step is just under the threshold. Any paver over 1/8" thick would be a problem. I have heard of decorative epoxy resurfacing. I just don't know anything about it.
