Abstract
A method and apparatus for imprinting a predefined pattern in a freshly rolled asphalt surface to simulate the appearance of bricks, cobblestones, interlocking paving stones or the like. A pliable, grid-like template is progressively compressed into the asphalt surface using a drum roller or other surface compactor. The template is then manually lifted clear of the asphalt surface and the asphalt is allowed to harden. The patterned asphalt surface may be treated with a thin coating of colored concrete to enhance the brick and mortar effect.
