You could do pavers or rock but it isn't real easy. Well, it is
easy to do but is hard work. You would have to work out some sort
of edge restraint, but down about an inch of bedding sand, lay the
pavers, 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?
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.


Exactly
