Default repairing river rock surface

The entryway into my house is surfaced with river rock. I failed to properly
periodically recoat the surface and now some of the rock has worn away,
leaving some small pits. How do I go about fixing the surface, and what
tools will I need?

Thanks,

Jean

Epoxy and more rocks.

And try to avoid softer rocks, limestone, sandstone and such. Any rock
that shrugs off a cleaning with muriatic acid will do just fine. And
you will likely have the acid available to treat the concrete before
using the epoxy adhesive.
