Looks like its been done with a plywood shutter with a good shutter film finish. Its expensive and usually used for big reusable steel shutter systems. Vibrated correctly and as someone else says been rubbed up as soon as the shutter was stripped. Good job.
Was this created with formwork?

Thanks for all the replies, I'm learning lots here.
So to get this sort of finish I should consider one of these types of plys :

The site is from the USA where many concrete finishers have served a 3 year apprenticeship in the Union. The standard of workmanship is generally good as they often do the pavements and kerbs in concrete.
That job was probably done by real pro's who knew how to set up the formwork, strike it at the right time and finish it with the magnesium floats and edging trowels.
It's not as easy as it looks to do work that good.

It doesn't look easy.
Creating face finished concrete never is, whether that be a floated floor or fair-faced wall finishes etc.
Just takes a bit of practice. Here's one I did a few years ago as an apprentice.It doesn't look easy.
You can see what a good finish it is.
Loving the picture.
Yep, under no illusion that this will be a very difficult job. Definitely will do a few practice pours before buying and gear in bulk attempting anything on a big scale.
The work in that earlier image was designed by a landscape architect. Their very good with angles and lines and how they interact with each other.
And also cad 3d imagery helps a lot.
The ground looks to be rising away from the property so I think it lent itself natuarlly to that design.
The wall drops to a lower level at the left of the image where soil pressure is definately being retained.
So is the home actually split level where you would walk out of the home on the higher level to the decking?
Kingandys image looks level. Nothing to be retained.
Any landscape architects on the forum?
What do you think?
