Smartening up an irregular concrete hard standing

[Orionaut]

A how to/suggestions thing really.

I would like to level it off and make it smarter

It has to be suitable for vehicles,

I do not want to have to dig up the existing concrete.

Some sort of block paving would look OK but I don't think conventional block paving over sand laid on the concrete would work.

(Drainage wouldn't work properly??)

Any ideas??

How high can you take it?

What about another layer of concrete over the top with a block paving type pattern stamped into it?

Still won't drain so you'll need a bit off run-off to it.

I wondered about this, I currently have a concrete panel garage on a concrete foundation. Is it possible to 'etch' the concrete or am I barking mad ?

I don't think you'd be able to change the existing concrete layer once it has cured. I was thinking of a fresh layer on top and stamping it before it has set.
It can look quite good:

I like that, that looks good.

The grooves should help with drainage as well.

Although if OP wants it for a driveway, that pattern might look a bit odd.
