Abstract
This application relates to a method of forming multiple inlaid patterns to complete a final predetermined rotational pattern onto or into a pavement surface. The pattern may be selected for functional or decorative purposes. In one embodiment the method includes the steps of providing a first template created of multiple blocks with portions of rotational isometric patterns having a predetermined pattern; impressing the first template into the pavement surface when the pavement surface is in a pliable state forming an impression therein; removing the first template from the pavement surface exposing the impression; providing a grid having a predetermined pattern matching the pattern of the first template; inserting the grid into the impression; and fixing the grid in position within the impression to form the inlaid pattern thereby creating multiple blocks of said portions of said patterns such that rotational isometric patterns form a final rotational predetermined isometric patterned preform.
