I haven't seen the site and I doubt you have either. If it's just
light cracking, you can pour over it. But in any case, the OP
mentioned the possibility of replacing and having it look like
stone. In that instance, stamped concrete would work just fine. If
the OP is looking at options, stamped concrete would be one, and as I
suggested, contacting a qualified contractor would be in his/her best
interest.
