What is bush hammered?

Bush hammering is a process used in stonework and masonry to create a rough, textured surface on a stone or concrete surface. It involves using a specialized hammer, usually with multiple blunt-tipped points, to repeatedly strike the surface of the stone or concrete, creating small indentations and leaving a pattern of rough, textured marks. The resulting surface is ideal for use in outdoor paving, as it is slip-resistant and durable against wear and tear. Bush hammering can be used on a wide variety of stone and concrete surfaces, from granite and marble to concrete blocks and tiles. It can also be used in combination with other decorative techniques, such as engraving or staining, to create unique and visually striking designs.
