Crazy Paving fix required

[Jane - Hotspace]

My turn for help!

I have a client who has crazy paving around their pool. Can't afford to rip it up and start again unfortunately.

Was wondering if we could concrete or do a spraycrete or something over the top. The area is not level so can't use a self leveling compound of any kind.

Coping is fine (ugly but need to work with it ).

Has anyone tackled this issue before?

Any ideas??

You should be able to spray over it, I've seen products where they have turned ordinary paving into a concrete aggregate look

I cannot help but think if they can afford some sort of spray coat they should put that money into doing it properly and not trying to cover a hot mess with some quick fix. I cannot imagine any sort of spray coating making that surround look any better.

I would leave it and save hard so it can be done properly. If it must be done now I would use small round smooth gravel with large pavers as a short term fix. Pebbles migh get in the pool if the pool is well used, not good for the vacuum I guess.

Next idea is to pour a topping slab to bring that surround up to the level of the coping. Is the pebble coping able to be replaced with a coping tile?

We are looking at replacing our pool surround as our pavers are cracking - poured separately to the actual pool so we can easily fix - but not cheap.

Hi Jane,

If the paving is stable and not unsound, then this could work: http://www.stoneset.com.au/#!overlay/c1766
