pattern imprinted concrete
what you are thinking of is pattern imprinted concrete
they lay concrete then add a dust colour then use a hard rubber mould on the wet concrete moving it along in stages over the finished concrete

A vast improvement on the first one candyman I didn't want to say anything for fear of sounding rude, but its a great job, still have mine to make
I wonder if i might try to make something alongs the lines of small block pavers like this
I wonder if i use some concrete colouring in the mix and finish off with some sort of sealer, if i would get a half decent end result, the outside edges would be the row of blocks but the top and bottom will be indivual blocks so the the next row will look seemless??
Another point would be how to make the edges of the block seem natural instead of striaght could i grand and the sand smooth the edges of the bar so it looks like natural block shapes??
Will sleep on the idea
