Looks amazing ! Just curious as to how this stays put over time without any sand, concrete, or adhesives...etc

[@bobcatbbqpit2440]

This is beautiful! I'm planning to try it. Was there a leveling process? Did the borders have something to keep it from shifting?

[@konstantinusynin3469]

I guess it is for demo, not for walking

[@nonashae]

So….he didn’t color nothing???? If so looks fab

[@GlobMarble]

No coloring, if youd like to see some coloring options you can check this video out :) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/movShatso7Vlh6s

[@jennyadams6413]

Thank you for this! Being a homeowner and searching the Internet for options that I can do myself and it will last is wonderful! This product and your video are now a part of my to-do list 😊

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulconti4064]

Awesome job Thanks for sharing Vlad, I'm going to send you some photos of the patio and stairs I overlayed with your molds. Your molds are simple to work with and easy to clean . I made over 300sq.ft with them and still going strong. Thanks again Paul in RI.

[@GlobMarble]

Awesome!!! Be sure to store the molds out of direct sunlight to ensure thousands of casts!

[@Autism_Forever]

As a noise pressure and vibration sensitive Autistic this vibration table was very painful I think I will stick with tapping with a mallet it's actually relaxing and satisfying to do :) You have great molds thank you for showing how to use them ♥ Why you did not cement edges in to prevent them from moving?

[@beasport505]

this was great. the only question I have is how to you keep the slabs and the border slabs from moving. I seen in another video where you can lay down fast drying cement along the areas where you are placing the border slabs and the big middle slabs, once all leveled out, you use mist water to start so the fast drying cement mix secures the slabs. the next day you soak it some more.

[@GlobMarble]

Great suggestion!

[@wouterspamer3912]

Hey. Thanks for your video. Are the molds available for purchase? I’m from South Africa.

[@GlobMarble]

Yes, all tools and materials are in the description of the video

[@jaqulynmansfield2160]

Great info! Thanks! What would cause my turtle stepping stones to crack during curing? Thanks again!

[@GlobMarble]

Sounds like shrinkage! Maybe you are using too little aggregate and too much cement?

[@powersandassoentdorothya8981]

Thank you this was excellent Is very informative. learn a lot about the molds, and it was interesting how you laid it never seen that before. Peace and blessings to you and your's.

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks!

[@shbr8369]

Maybe not tricked😊good video...liked watching the project come together👍🏼🙏🏽

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks a bunch!!

[@godlover3417]

Great job-you answered a lot of questions I had abt doing this! Thanks!

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

[@camiloremedios3031]

Where can we buy moldy for that beautiful marble finished slab? Your work is awesome. I like it a lot.

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks man, all materials and tools are linked in the videos description

[@allsandiego1294]

Awesome. You just gave an idea to work in my 80’X100’ grass area with 90deg. Corners. I will make some concrete borders and round the corners so my zero turn lawnmower can just zip by with having me to back up. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@elizabettapeters6747]

Excellent job and great idea just in time for my project I been putting aside for almost a year not knowing what and how to do. Thank you.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chevez2060]

Great job man. I own M & N Professional Concrete Contractors Inc in Baltimore and I accidentally ran into your post and I watched the entire video. This video is well explained for anyone to understand and a great Idea. Even if they don't make their own pavers, the idea can be achieved purchasing the stepping stones at a local store to make for an easier project. Great job!!! I hope and wish you the best.

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks for the kind words!! Thats true but anyone doing lots of jobs would save tons of money making the pavers themselves. All materials and tools I used are in the description of the video

[@IMGreg..]

I asked this above as well but your thoughts would be appreciated. Assuming a proper base and forms. Can you use the black pebbles as an exposed arrogate around your stones so they're not loose if you mask your pavers to do the wash and use an expansion material around each paver?

[@richardhingle3634]

Excellent video! Your yard looks great 👍. Considering your slate series...been pricing pretty cast pavers at the big box stores and your molds have a wonderful appearance. Imagine that with acid stains and sealer, and I should be able to get a better price for my home.

[@GlobMarble]

Personally, I prefer using water-based stains as they are much more forgiving and easier to work with. Glad you liked the video!!

[@danakiro]

Nice! You make it look easy, I removed the step wood deck to do it with concrete and didn't know how or where to start because I thought was more complicated than it seems!! Thanks for the video it really help me done the job soon.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad I could help!

[@gabrielagarcia7139]

Can we add fine pebbles to concrete and thin wire rebar? Would it make it stronger?

[@GlobMarble]

If using a prebagged mix, don't mess with it too much

[@Sunnyside--Up]

I like the slate look on the concretes, looks natural. Thanks for sharing!

[@Akayuo]

Hi how can I get the mold?

[@GlobMarble]

All molds and materials I used are in the description of the video :)

[@360concrete8]

Where can I buy me some of those mould like the one's behind on ya walls?

[@GlobMarble]

Those aren't molds, they are stamped concrete. You can check out some of my other videos to see how I made them

[@esepolloe13]

How many bags of polished pebbles did u have to use and the cost?

[@GlobMarble]

I honestly don't remember how many bags, but I remember being surprised by how little square feet I got out of one bag. Definitely wish I color matched the weed barrier to the pebbles.

[@henrent]

Making of pavers was good. Aesthetic of the install is good. It does not appear the installation will be long lasting with the pavers staying in place and not shifting.

[@15deidreanne]

Is there such a thing as lightweight concrete. Now before readers mock me I'm north of 65 and need to concrete a 3metre X 7metre catio (with molds not all in one) and am going to have an issue lifting stuff etc. No I don't have anyone to help 🦘 thank you

[@GlobMarble]

There are many options for lightweight concrete. We offer a premix bag of white lightweight concrete which can be pigmented into a wide variety of tints. Check it out here- globmarble.com/xtreme-lightweight-concrete-mix-3.html

[@toniray9114]

Do you sell a mold that I can make my own stepping stones? Please

[@GlobMarble]

Yup. Check the description of the video to get the exact mold I used, or click this link for all our stepping stone molds- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/step-stone-molds/

[@Lilfabo124]

Great vid bro Where u got the mounds Thanks 🙏🏽

[@GlobMarble]

The molds and all other tools/materials are in the description of the video :)

[@Surf62]

Great video and a pretty cool product. I'm sure you'll show it in another video, but how do you add color and can you vary the color throughout each stone to simulate normal stone variations?

[@GlobMarble]

Check out the rest of the videos on the channel! We have lots of videos on this subject and you might find an option that you like :)

[@juancarlosvazquez1085]

Good job!! Do you think Rapid Set would work?

[@GlobMarble]

I think so!

[@TheBizziniss]

I’m here for the algorithm.

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks for the comment!!

[@kennethrweatherspoonjr974]

Consider this for indoor uses, ie … garage or walk way.

[@GlobMarble]

great idea

[@tawdsaurora]

Nice going to do the same but larger scale for a patio , TY

[@GlobMarble]

You can do it!

[@tzvis2]

very nice forms. I hope I can do something similar

[@GlobMarble]

You can find links to all the materials I used in the description of the video

[@terrygallant9938]

Thanks for the great video, giving me ideas. :)

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@repsetand1]

Stones look great on back yard or in everyways very clear and nicely done well in every step! I'm a gym addict looking around backyard upgrades and perks to learn that I could kindly get my hands on great work

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@maryquenga5100]

I know it's not going to be easy for me but I'm going to do my best to do it. Thank you for sharing I really love it. It gave the home a better look...lovely

[@GlobMarble]

You can do it!

[@reginachavarin7552]

Appreciate your steps and tips. Can't wait to apply what I learned 😊

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you liked it!!

[@manuelreynoso7415]

Good work body, where can I buy the molds?

[@GlobMarble]

Description of the video has links to all the products I used in the video :)

[@josephpetrocelli3930]

Very nice. I just read an article on adding latex paint to the concrete mix for color. These would look great in earth tones. Thanks for the class teacher.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you enjoyed it! I prefer using oxide pigments, they tend to not fade as much as latex. You can find them here- globmarble.com/concrete-color-oxide-pigment.html

[@Habitualizehealthcoaching]

I would use something like a gravel sealant/resin binder to keep those river pebbles in place because I wouldn't be too happy stepping on those if they get out of place.

[@KendraVanOrden]

Looking forward to creating simple walkways with this process. Thank you.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad we inspired you!

[@fozziebear888]

How much would this cost if u paid contractors? So we know how much we are saving as DIYs it looks beautiful🎉

[@MikeDiCiero]

if the ground at the back of your property is higher than where you laid your stepping stones you'll always get water running down towards your home, this is an issue that needed to be dealt with before you laid down your walking path

[@sandragracia7616]

Great job. Very good instruction. Wanting to do a walkway to my front door similar to this, this video is so helpful. Thanks.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LittleTinSoldier1]

Thanks for the video. Looks amazing and within a humble DIYer's skillset.

[@GlobMarble]

Hoppe you try it!!

[@barbarageddis1584]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@GlobMarble]

My pleasure

[@curtismiles4221]

nicely done. you cover it from start and keep a decent pace without rehashing the same stuff over and over like some do.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you liked it!

[@jennyvinciguerra369]

enjoyed the video , thanks really good share

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@PoEt121]

No vibration table? Place it on a washing machine and run a 15 minutes spin, should get read of air bubbles

[@CharlesSmith-ll5kx]

Awesome. Can I paint a ready-made concrete stepper? Making it will take me some time. I just need a fast solution for now. What kind of paint do you suggest. I will try making these later on. I learned a lot from your video, I just found your channel. Thank you. Arelis ( Charles wife using his computer)

[@GlobMarble]

Paint on concrete will always be ugly and tacky. It is best to use a stain. You can watch these videos for more info- kzbin.info/www/bejne/movShatso7Vlh6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4XPY3RonJZ_otk

[@mizunonick1]

great job, well done boys. Now I am going to attempt my front garden. Watch this space.

[@GlobMarble]

Best of luck!

[@cpsadp99]

Is there any type special concrete you used?

[@GlobMarble]

I used the Sakrete high strength mix

[@thenovicedm7966]

Checking it out for options......thansk.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad you liked it!

[@herrlip72]

shouldn't you lock your edging in with plastic edging pinned into the ground, they will move over time or stepped on?

[@johnmuricasmith8641]

Looks really good bro. Definitely gave me some ideas for replacing my current paver walk way. Thanks!

[@GlobMarble]

Glad I could help!

[@garryedwards3640]

Great Job... where can I buy this

[@GlobMarble]

Every tool and material I used is in the description of the video :)

[@russellchampagne3830]

I really enjoy your videos. I own a small decorative concrete company in NC and I watch your videos all the time

[@GlobMarble]

Appreciate it man! Glad you like them!

[@dianaceliz3096]

I'm here for the algorithm 👋😁🌺💚.

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks!

[@mrskrys4572]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. I see tutorials put wire, rebar, etc for strength.... any guidance on that? Thx

[@GlobMarble]

These stones are fairly thick, so no rebar is needed

[@jamieyeomans3803]

learned a lot, I will look for those molds, I think there could be a little less space between patio stones.

[@GlobMarble]

We love to hear feedback! Btw, all the materials and tools I used are in the description of the video

[@janicej5923]

beautiful!

[@GlobMarble]

Thank you!!

[@waltersanders3773]

Great Job!

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks!

[@perfectlyimperfect9571]

Looks easy... I'm going to try it!

[@GlobMarble]

Please do!

[@1252PFC]

No enforcement mesh needed? Also, can you list the camera / mic info in the desc? thanks.

[@CarolinePrescott-ul6op]

Going to try making the stepping stone

[@GlobMarble]

Good luck!!

[@lumenesque1]

You've inspired my next project - thanks for the awesome vid!

[@GlobMarble]

Glad to hear it!!

[@sdstreiker]

where do you get the black rocks?

[@GlobMarble]

Home Depot :)

[@kimc.4969]

Looks good. Plan on doing something like this at my house. Thanks for the video.

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

[@omsu8410]

Excellent. As people will use the molds for one time or very few times, is there a place where they rent them?

[@GlobMarble]

Unfortunately we only sell the molds as people who rent do not take proper care of our products

[@Freedom20244]

Which one is that has a smooth surface 24 by 24 inch and boarder half block?

[@Connectionseven]

Will I need to set steel in my blocks?

[@GlobMarble]

If you plan on driving on them

[@michaeladams2077]

always like the black rock look. looks great. would like a price on those molds? Also being that you didnt bury the steps will it be an issue moving around paritculary the borders? wet look is awesome. let us know you can have it permanent wet look that will also protect it. i may just use 2x4 for cheaper way because i think those molds will be expensive. I also want rectangle large and small. thanks

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks for the feedback! All of the materials and tools I used in this video are in the description of the video but you can find all of our molds here- globmarble.com/concrete-stones/concrete-stone/step-stone-molds/ For a wet look concrete I recommend using our sealer HS-200 globmarble.com/stamped-concrete-acrylic-sealer-hs-200.html

[@spencerip3282]

looks like a great product to me!

[@GlobMarble]

Glad it was helpful!

I thought you supposed to go atleast 8 inches down with base material.

[@daveg7498]

There's no rebar or steel mesh needed?

[@GlobMarble]

It is not necessary

[@currylaksa6489]

Wonderful work. Helpful simple n direct instruction. Good on you..

Thanks!!

[@laurieelmore-w4i]

This was pretty Awesome!!!

[@GlobMarble]

Thanks!!

[@revulagaddahk]

Why didn't you reinforce it with steel mesh or glass fiber?

[@GlobMarble]

That is always an option, but I used the sakrete high strength mix :)
