Gravel or concrete patio?

I have a small patio at the rear of the house from which I've removed gross waterlogged astro turf laid by the previous owner. Underneath is just uneven concrete. I'm considering whether to just re-paint the concrete, or whether to re-paint/seal the concrete and then cover in gravel to make it even. Is laying gravel on concrete just a case of making sure drains are covered and putting it down or are there any extra steps? Is gravel hard to maintain (weeds etc)? submitted by /u/stripeyzanclidae [link] [comments]
