Does anyone have experience of putting anti-slip grooves into worn
concrete? The problem is in a livery stables with aisles about six
feet wide between the boxes. I'm told they had grooves ground in a
few decades ago.

I've never done this, but how about a layer of concrete on top, and
make grooves in it whilst it's still soft? Using a rake, perhaps?

It would break up in no time.

Does it depend how thick the layer is?


It would need to be full slab thickness - another 3-4".


or use epoxy mortar, that can go very thin, but isn't cheap
