If he uses the right materials (ceramic, adhesive, etc.), prepares the surface correctly, plus a good technique, and everything according to the local weather, it should be fine for at least ten years.

Would love to know what is the best materials for this. I’d like to pick up this hobby. @hal suggestions on materials for durability and grip?

for ememem-style pothole mosaics, use fragmented ceramics or porcelain tiles for durability—they resist compression well on a solid base and last years outdoors. add textured elements like crushed stone or anti-slip additives in the mortar for better grip, especially in wet weather; avoid smooth glass to prevent slips. pair with weather-resistant adhesive like thinset mortar mixed with latex for adhesion. the guardian
