Here's a tip for you if you use the standard yellow concrete brand. Build an outside guideline format in the path you want it to go. Then after so many hours press the mold into the semi firm concrete to create the design of the mold. This way your concrete is still one solid piece

Greetings from Ukraine)) I watched your video and I can give practical advice on the improvement of this kind of paths)) Put geofabric under the gravel pillow, though I don’t know if you have it on sale or not, but you can replace it with dense polyethylene to ensure the removal of excess moisture , prevent the growth of weeds. And also, before using the molds, grease it with any kind of automotive oil, the edges of the tile will be perfectly smooth and concrete will not stick))) Success in work😎

The reason for the large gaps is because they used two molds where these molds are designed to use it once, let the cement dry, remove the mold and then place the same mold right up against the cured cement from the first mold.

I like them like this. It’s a preference

The problem you will have over time is movement. Each section of the mould is just sitting on dirt, so after a while you will see they have moved. First, you deeded to dig out about 4 inches for a concrete base. Then place your moulds on top of that base, the path will then have something solid to bind to, it will not move after that. Also fill the gaps with a cement mix of a different colour to stop any movement.

I watched a few videos on this. Some people are just using dirt. They are digging out and raking out the ground and watering it and getting to where it hardens up then they do the concrete molds and when they’re done they check dirt and they put it on top of the molds brush it in and put it all around them they wet that down over and over so that it gets wet and it dries and gets wet and it dries and they say even after a while they’ll put on some more and it starts filling everything in. In fact I see the dirt underneath even though it might be an even in places when they put the concrete it fills it in. people who had done this several years ago and when you look at it it looks fine. The only thing is the concrete ages so it’s just getting darker as time goes by! I don’t know if people realize that the color will change. I have seen people go in and actually use some sort of stain on the fake walkway if that’s what you wanna call it. And then on top of that they use a sealer. I would imagine that that it will keep it its color for sometime. However with every step that they do this the color changes! It might get less colorful or it might get brownish it might turn somewhat of a gray. So the best thing to do is just keep checking this. One day when I want to do this I’ll probably know enough from these tutorials to pull it off.

You can pull the mold immediately after troweling. if you’re making a long path the fast setting concrete will add up.

I used this exact mold and quick crete. Was going to make a path from side gate, all the way to the back door to screen porch. Would have probably been about 50 bags of quick crete.

It really has unfortunately. I know locally some bags have doubled since covid

So if your average bag of cement cost 7/8 dollars , it took two bags to make 3 you just made each stone for 4.66 per stone . For the same size stone at wal mart or Home Depot it cost 4.64 per stone . At this point you have to ask your self is it worth it . I mean add in the time and back labor to make them your self ..it doesn’t add up .

I tell people that quite often, but in this case that was per mould it cost that much which is is 6 or 7 individual stones per mould. If I go to Home Depot here, these decorative, small individual paver stones are about $4 each. So this is much cheaper in the end to get a paver style pattern, without the paver price.

Nice tutorial but your supposed to stager your pours so you don’t get large gaps between stones. I also put down heavy poly in my garage and kept casting so you can install later.

Hi Jesse! Question on the paver molds. So after removing the mold, they basically become individual stones? Would you recommend the sand first and then a curing topper (forget what you called it 🤦🏻‍♀️)? Ideally, I want to create a walkway on the side of the house and basically want each complete mold, to be one big stone. So they’re not all falling apart. Hope you catch my questions and lack of knowledge lol but looking forward to your recommendation and input and/or additional knowledge. Don’t hesitate to throw in any additional helpful ‘do not do’s’ or any ‘should have done’ updates you have learned the last couple years since the original post. Thanks so much Jesse, appreciate the thorough video.

@JessedoesDIY

Hey there, yeah they are basically small individual stones after. But if you want to lock it all together, put the moulds closer together unlike me so it looks like more of a running pattern. Let them cure for a couple days, then add some polymeric sand. The polymeric sand is swept in between them and then rinse it all. The water will harden the polymeric sand almost like concrete itself and act like a grout. The stones won't fall apart or move after that but still look individual. Then you can get really any concrete sealer from the store and use a paint roller or a sprayer and apply it. It can go over the concrete and sand. Hope that helps!

Shouldn’t these be pressed into a cement base, putting 2 together gives you a stepping stone effect not continuous path, also how do the individual sections hold together when the slab is the same thickness as the mould? I think they’ll fall apart when you start walking on them.

@JessedoesDIY

You can try to press it, but it won't be easy with all the aggregate in the concrete. The way I did it is the way concrete manufacturer says to use them, and it makes sense to me. If I would have just put them closer together it would have made a continuous pattern. Well once they're done, you need to find a way to finish them. Whether that be polymeric sand and edging to lock them in place, or like I said to dig down a couple inches in your lawn and pour them, then backfill it in with dirt and grass so they are embedded like cobblestones

@JessedoesDIY

2 жыл бұрын

Anytime. Yeah sorry, now that I watch it again I see how it can be confusing without clarification. So wetting the rocks before pouring your concrete will get the dust off of them so the concrete will bond to them, it likes wet things to stick to. This creates a nice rocky base for it and helps it stick to the ground and gives it a bit more strength. When I was pouring the leftover concrete out I just dumped it on dry rocks and it is less likely to stick to them. However if it does, the small pea rocks it's sitting on wont be a big deal, some will stick, some won't if it's dry, but picking it up and throwing it out is easy, you don't want the leftover to sit on a driveway because it will stick to that and picking it up will be very hard. That's all. While pouring, you want it wet so they do stick. Hope that clears it up.

Anytime, happy to help. I have the mould linked in the description and I showed the concrete mix to use. The concrete is where people make their mistakes. If you have a normal mix and not a quicker setting mix like I showed you'll probably have to wait a couple hours. But the mix I used you only need to wait 10 mins
