Dimis,

I will leave the topping suggestions to others, but please heed this advice (I have been involved in many concrete pours). Ensure that the base underneath the concrete has been properly prepared and contains 12" of well compacted (i.e., tamped after each 4") gravel. Wet the gravel down prior to the final tamping. The top coat will not matter if your base is not properly prepared. The quickest way to crack concrete is to have a gap develop between the base and the pad. No amount of reinforcement will make up for a poor base.

Good luck on your project.

Jim
