Abstract
A method of imprinting a visual and textural pattern upon a concrete surface. The method includes configuring a decorative finishing tool to define a particular visual and textural pattern. An exposed surface of a concrete mixture is finished to dispose a quantity of cement/fines paste derived from the concrete mixture at the exposed surface thereof. The exposed surface of the concrete mixture is further finished with the decorative finishing tool to imprint the visual and textural pattern upon the exposed surface, with at least a portion of the decorative finishing tool being troweled over the exposed surface to create the visual and textural pattern in the concrete.
