Levelling concrete surface?   
Hi,

I have a concrete path which has been laid using (approx) 1" pebbles 
included in the mix... this concrete also runs at the bottom of the garden. 
I'd like to use a few square feet of the non-path area, but need a flat 
surface (for various DIY stuff). Can I level out the top of the concrete so 
that I have a flat surface without having to dig the whole lot up?

I'm wondering if there is any method similar to the indoor "floor levelling 
compound" type stuff, which can be used in small thicknesses to turn outdoor 
lumpy concreted areas into flatter surfaces?
