Concrete laid in small sections at a time is likely to look a mess and to crack.
I beg to differ, having done it quite a number of times. The whole point of shuttering it permanently is to stop it cracking. Trying to do a big area is far more difficult to get looking presentable. In our last house where we'd done a patio this way, the buyer's surveyor thought it was flagstones.

I meant when done by somebody who isn't experienced in concrete laying.
There are quite a few products on the market which stabilise gravel so it can be used for wheelchairs. Just Google gravel paths and wheelchair for example. They are some sort of grid or mesh which holds the gravel in place to make a firm surface.I've seen it used once on one of those garden transformation programmes but you would need to research how effective it is. Think it's is something you could probably do yourself.
