How to cover over existing pavers?

Glenn83

gday, I have pavers in my alfresco area which is about 15m2 that I don’t really like. I was wondering in I fill in the gaps and lay a mortar or cement over the top of the pavers, 1 would this work 2 could I then put down an epoxy coat or something similar ?See attached photo of what the pavers look like.
I’m certainly open to ideas and suggestions

. Cheers

Hello @Glenn83 

Thanks for sharing your question about covering your existing pavers. Yes, your pavers can be painted over with products such as White Knight 4L Medium Grey Ultra Pave Quick Dry Paint. Is there a particular reason you are not happy with your pavers? Is it the uneven finish that is bothering you? One other option open to you is to remove the pavers and replacing it with a low-level deck that you could technically spread out onto your garden outside the shaded area.

There is also the option of paving steps and pebbles to create a pathway. Another idea is to tile the entire area to create patterns and geometric shapes to add variety in your alfresco area.

I also suggest having a look at these discussions - Low-level deck with steps and lighting by @asifkhawaja and Low-level deck over concrete alfresco by @siran.
