It was out goal to make the concrete sidewalk of the Hazelnut Inn not look like a sidewalk but rather a dirt path. We started with a small stoned but regular mix and then once it was troweled flat we tossed various stones onto the surface. Most of the stones were placed near the edges of the walk and then fewer into the middle. The stones were then worked into the surface using a trowel. As a last step Peter scattered pea gravel along the edges. A final trowel finished things off. The next day Peter used a pressure washer to gently remove the top surface of the concrete revealing all of the stones. We’ll let the concrete cure nice and hard and then use some stains to make it look more like the dirt pathway we imagined.
