Concrete – Can this failing concrete patio be resurfaced and how

concretepatio

Parts of my concrete patio are eroding from around the gravel on the surface. I think it was built in the 70s or 80s. Some parts of the patio are in great condition, others are very bad. Shown below is the worst part and a close-up of it.

Question: What is causing this failure, can I stop it and/or is there a way I can resurface it as a DIY project?

No, you can't resurface the surface economically, as it needs skill, and is a labor intensive business. You can repave, or adding topping concrete though. The original cement facing has simply flaked out due to weathering.
