IMPORTANT NOTE, plan ahead. If possible have a starting and ending spot that fits the Walkmaker dimensions. You can custom cut and form smaller areas, but it is more complicated and turns a simple project into a more serious endeavor.
We will post a new video in a couple of months that shows more options and details.
You can add texture through brooms, brushes rollers, fabric, stamps...
After the walk has dried, you can add sand for aesthetic reasons, but you can also get polymeric sand and lock the sidewalk joints. You can get this kind of sand from the Amazon or big box stores. Here are examples: amzn.to/38kAkHg & low.es/2LiyprM I have no experience with this particular product, it's just to help you get started in your search.
The Quikrete Walkmaker takes only minutes to complete a 2’X 2’ section. A do-it-yourself delight. No special skills required. Just fill the mold with concrete, smooth the surface and remove the mold.
Install a walk or a patio that resembles Basket Weave Brick for the price of a few bags of concrete.
The Walk Maker not only offers Basket Weave Brick designs, but also stone and tile patterns as well..
The addition of coloring will dramatically enhance any Walk Maker project. Mix the liquid color with water before adding it to the dry concrete mix. A variety of surface textures may be obtained by experimenting with different finishing techniques; i.e. a metal trowel will give you a smooth finish, a wooden trowel will make a rougher surface and a brushed surface will add texture and expose more aggregate.

    I see a couple issues with this. You need to throw gravel or sand and level of before you mold because those stamping molds obviously form gaps between the “bricks”. Unless you gravel them they will be loose and come off easy or break since you can’t hold to just mud underneath . Also weeds (which you still had growing under before you started will be growing all from winthjng the concrete.

    This is very true. The iron oxide powders are so much cheaper and can adjust to make any desired tint you want. I use black oxide a lot to make grey bricks and pavers and use less than half of what they say to make black ones so with making grey ones the powder goes more than twice as far. I buy 1kg of it at a time and costs me $10. I get about 100 grey 9x4.5x3 inch bricks out of it.
