DIY: Laying A Concrete Pathway With A Difference

[@Bootsystem66]

I love these two❤. The simplicity of their concrete work is endearing and helpful for newbies like me

[@justmeagain38]

I love your enthusiasm! And Garth is so quiet yet seems to like doing this as much as you! You complement each other so well! I can't hardly wait for spring to try this! Thank you both!

[@davidmanderson1047]

Loving your work all the way from Australia. Missing my homeland.

[@jlfaulcon2323]

Second to how great your tasks turn out is how great you and George work together. Pleasure to watch and learn.

[@crazyldy002]

More beautiful than words can say thank you both so much and God Bless you and yours :-)

[@nirmatunk6602]

[@sallynolan5928]

What an good video. Nice and enthusiastic Gardener too. Great stuff.

[@annepower3313]

Love your energy, so much fun and positivity - great video very captivating.

[@Vb-fy4sv]

She’s certainly not afraid to get her hands dirty ! Great job ..........and Garth too lol

[@cynthiasagar5772]

Thank you!! You ve given me some good ideas.

[@sonyalenz]

Oh my dream is to make a concrete pathway like this, leading up to my family's pet cemetery. However, we are in Western Pennsylvania (snow country) and the soil in that area is mostly rocky clay (land was a 1940s coal strip mine & is now in the forest under many pine trees). I'll try planting mint (which the deer hate & not eat up) and vox (a perennial which creeps, and flowers) though in all likelihood they will not take, but luckily the natural moss is abundant and I think will be equally attractive along the sides. Now to search through your fabulous videos for a low, natural fence idea to go around the cemetary. I'm excited for spring so I can begin! Thanks for such easy to learn & wonderfully taught ideas and inspiration.

[@lonestranger828]

remember the roads crumbling here due to 40 or 50 degree temp changes in 24 hours - SW PA where concrete goes to die.

[@1bigreddog1]

Nice soil! Easy to put the little sticks into the ground to keep the moulds in place!

[@marycrandall6115]

You just make this look so easy.

[@lolaneneq9263]

I'm learning. Thanks for this video

[@sandypetitto1190]

Beautiful !! Love it !!

[@pamellahodera365]

Wonderful, love it.

[@miketurner4462]

That’s a terrific idea and looks great, however, the concrete really should have expansion joints, and should have been done on a proper cleared and compacted base.

[@MistaRat]

Hey Hey woah now. Gender equality and shit. This lady knows all! Four parts of fuck all, but 'all' is included in my sentence.

[@laurenpiantino8312]

Awesome, simply awesome! I loved your woodland oasis; a glimpse of Utopia. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@nancyviramontes9681]

Love it😃 I'm going to try it!

[@bahons72]

Laying concrete directly on top of soil in not a good idea. A compacted hardcore base of a few inches is needed to ensure the path doesn't crack.

[@WolfTrap1000]

Should be 100mm minimum concrete too!!

[@arcticspirals]

I was wondering about that.

[@DanielaRouge]

So beautiful! I wish I could do that ! Thank you!

[@tommasicaroline5027]

hi there love your ideas Tanya just one question is the coulour you put on is it a stain or a paint im in france so can you help thankyou caroline tommasi

[@maganalia]

Beautiful!!

[@cynthiasagar5772]

Luv luv luv the end result. Great job.

[@richardc8029]

Would you recommend putting in masonite joints? The mix seems thin and may be subject to cracks in such a long uninterrupted length.

[@mariegag2335]

When I seen the wet concrete used, it seemed to be it would crack and flake off. I have this problem from hiring a pro. Didn't know back then what I've learned the expensive hard way.

[@anastasiyalobzun306]

oh, just love it !!!!

[@bettyescookingchannel]

Great job!

[@JossYagami]

Gracias, son una inspiración

[@marycrandall6115]

I just discovered you. You're great!

[@daorsburn8645]

How many bags of concrete did u use?

[@tiny0665]

I will get started on my path...this summer. Thanks

[@FeeFeesolovely]

Beautiful

[@peggyshepherd90]

Love it .

[@TheMom2three]

haha...I love the pink shovel!

[@marynajamison702]

So so awsome...is n pragtige padjie

[@dreamasue]

Love it 🥰

[@lauraleebrick8133]

You are amazingly awesome. Kisses from Tucson AZ. (North America) Desert here, so not many leaves, plenty of cactus textures. Wicked !!!!

[@stephaniehastie4655]

How has this held up over the years?

[@mariegag2335]

Great question... I would like to hear the answer.

[@MissEAG]

And a few paw prints too.

[@shirleyartesanatos6492]

Oi querida gostei muito da sua ideia bjs.

[@mickp607]

Be lucky if it last 1 year as it's to thin, no hardcore underneath, mix is too weak.

[@happydayz5321]

LOL.........thin runny cement over ground that has not been compacted with no reinforcement is an exercise in futility. It will bust up in no time....

[@randalrobinson3424]

This is an easy to make path, but I'm a little disappointed that the creator didn't discuss the tradeoffs between thin easy to make concrete walkways and more durable, thicker concrete with less water and perhaps using steel reinforcement.

[@waltergatt5847]

I like the leaves idea but no hardcore???

[@susanthornburg5200]

Love this pathway....and it makes sense 😇💙😎‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@bigniper]

Not finished laughing at this method.. How to lay a concrete path so that it will crack and break up in a week or so of walking on it. Then you can dig it all out and Relay it properly with a Tamped crushed stone base and 100 mm ( 4" ) thick Concrete.

[@kathyturner6177]

My problem is I have some over 200 hundred old trees and the roots pop up every where and break what ever I put down. I have arthritis and have to be careful when walking. I had someone come in and dug the roots out but within a couple years they were back. Any ideas?

[@donelookin3386]

wooden above the ground be a bit will allow the roots to be as they wish and if they interfere with the walk way it is an easy remedy... good luck

[@tonis204]

Kathy, the problem with removing the roots, is it leaves the trees vulnerable to wind. I have the same problem with my trees and roots. So rather than weaken the root structure, I decided to build the earth matter around it and bury the roots under wood chips. As the chips decay it becomes soil. If you need a more solid footing, place stepping stones in the wood chips. Stable, eco friendly, and still saving your root system. All the while providing you with a "trip hazard" free path. Good luck 🍀

[@ChristopherAMacleod]

You are in South Africa? Beautiful plants! I like a lot of the things you do!! Thanks!!!!

[@tracykeenan4449]

Christopher M isn’t she from NZ ?

[@Stephen_Strange]

12:37 I thought it was an April Fool. You have got to be kidding me.

[@lynnsonmor4330]

Sadly I have to agree ( I have never placed a negative comment before BUT Yikes!)

[@rosekathrein8485]

Where is te concrete reinforcement. Won't this fall apart?

[@YSLRD]

Yes. Yes it will.

[@Natalyaandall]

I think it is too late thin layer of the concrete

[@agustasister5624]

Maybe time to rent a mixer

[@nakiahammer]

Too runny. And it needs a proper base. Will not last for long

[@butterflyforeve]

How you know Bob is my uncle? Lol

[@andreafromadelaideaustrali4379]

Bob is everyone’s Uncle lol, Bob gets about

[@Joeoshea1957]

Remind me never to get a south african to do any building work for me

[@brian644]

ya that concrete form was pretty shady

[@daorsburn8645]

I need a path for a wheelchair that gets stuck in the sandy front yard. Without one they can’t leave the house. For someone to do it is ridiculous how much contractors want for a walk about the size u just did. It doesn’t look as hard to do as I was told it was. The people I had come bid said there was no way it would self level.

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

So many things we can do ourselves now that there is KZbin, heck, those guys probably watched a few to learn how to do it! haha

[@YSLRD]

It IS more complex if you want it to last.

[@paulet990]

So, I guess you're in a climate that does not freeze.

[@TanyaVisserTheGardener]

Hi there, this is true for the most part here in South Africa. Some areas do get frost but not too bad.

[@marytramp5678]

you can do the same thing only in smaller sections then fill them in with a cement foam like they do for driveways. can be found in most hardware stores like lowes or home depot.just make sure they are really close, so do one and maybe use it as the front stop.or use something even thinner than masonite. it will allow for the freezing.

[@shadyman6346]

You are too easy to watch! Informative, too...

[@FM-dk1vp]

Whatever else is wrong with this method the biggest one for me is mixing it one wheel barrel at a time! Ugh.

[@dismith73]

If she's not, I'm not.
