Yes, concrete resurfacing is the same as concrete overlay. Concrete resurfacing or a concrete overlay is when you apply a thin layer of pre-blended concrete over an existing concrete slab. It enhances the durability and appearance of the concrete. Resurfacing or applying a concrete overlay costs far less than replacing concrete. You can stamp an overlay of concrete to create a specific look or color. Concrete resurfacing is also called concrete restoration, concrete refinishing, or concrete rejuvenation.

Whether you resurface or replace your concrete driveway depends on the condition and age of your driveway. Concrete that's over 20 years old may need replacing, while newer concrete may benefit more from resurfacing. 

How well you maintain your concrete driveway also plays a role here. If you stay on top of sealing your driveway every three to five years, then your concrete may only have minor repairs that can be fixed compared to concrete that hasn't been sealed and has significant damage.

While you don’t technically need to grind concrete before resurfacing, it is very helpful. Grinding creates a rough, porous surface on the concrete, which gives the resurfacing material something to latch onto. Grinding your concrete before resurfacing can ensure that your resurfacing material lasts longer, reducing additional concrete resurfacing costs down the line.
