Sprinkles rocks above the concrete can be created with a variety of motifs or designs, depending on the desire of the maker. The pebble stones can just be spread without any pattern, either colorful or single color. Brush concrete’s function is to keep the road surface becomes not slippery, both for vehicles and pedestrians. Many estates today are also using pebble stones for road materials inside the complex.

How to make a brush concrete is relatively easy. The basic ingredients used are cast concrete and coral or pebble stones. The making begins by covering the floor with cement as usual, then sprinkle coral on it. After a mortar rather dry, the surface that already sprinkled with stones is brushed with steel brush. If you want to create brush concrete walkways, the cement is printed with a particular shape - such as a square or a round- then sprinkle the pebble stones, and after a bit dry, brushed the surface with a steel brush.
