Making a paver walkway from concrete and a mold | How to

A paver walkway is nice, but very expensive and time consuming. A plain slab of concrete is less expensive, but plain to look at. There are some neat molds that allow you to have the look of intricate pavers but poured from concrete. I've never used them until now, but how hard can it be? I'll let you know.

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😎

[@JessedoesDIY]

Hey, greetings! That is a good tip about the fabric, I won't have an issue here but others might so thanks! I don't have any leftover oil to put on, it all gets recycled. But I have had good luck spraying moulds with a good coat of wd-40 first, I never even thought to do it. Thanks and stay safe! 🇨🇦 🇺🇦

[@kimfletcher584]

Thank you!!

[@yggdrasil7942]

When i made paving slabs, we used spray oil too and I completely forgot about this as when I bought my moulds on Amazon, the reviews from people never mentioned that they used oil to coat the frames. Not used my moulds yet. Still need to prep the ground. But thanks for reminding me about the oil!

[@justkeepfishingt]

@@JessedoesDIY how many bags did you use for those 6 cement molds

[@JessedoesDIY]

4 total. 2 bags filled 3 moulds

[@truthknowledge7915]

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

[@noas4134]

That's actually a great idea and would mean no waiting time in between the different molds

[@JennBX1]

I like this video the best so far. I dont recall anyone else talking about rinsing your tools and the forms off periodically. It's really helpful!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks! Glad I could help

[@randy4805]

Great video. I used this exact paver pattern 10 years ago. Lasted all this time with many compliments along the way!

[@JessedoesDIY]

That's awesome! Good to hear they stand the test of time, thanks!

[@arnoldpainal5885]

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.

[@georgeleakos8376]

I used the cheap, yellow bag concrete mix and waited only 10 minutes before picking up the mold, no problem, the ‘stones’ will keep their shape as you gently pull the mold out. No need to wait longer than that, really…. 😊

[@The-Good-Life]

Same here. The key is your concrete consistency. Don’t make it too soupy and it will hold fine.

[@sayloth]

Yep, they just don't understand what slump means.

Excellent job explaining the installation process along with other tips like keeping the tool and mold washed. Certainly was a huge plus showing what concrete to purchase. Im just getting ready to install a 4'x24' walk with the same pattern you used. I purchased an electric mixer. Thanks again!

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime! I'm glad you picked up some tips, and a mixer because that'll help a ton lol. Good luck on your project!

Thank you for your ideas and suggestions on using these. I bought a few for my backyard project, last year. .I'm planning on redoing my whole yard. You made it look incredibly easy!! 😍 thanks!!

[@JessedoesDIY]

No problem, glad I could help. The process isn't that hard at all, but any concrete project does require some effort. It's heavy lol. Good luck on yours!

[@ahnaahna7278]

I agree about putting weed preventative like(landscape fabric down under the molds). I use very little landscape fabric but for hard to manage areas. Can then fill in gaps with something else, mulch, pebbles, etc. I want to do this project so thank you for your advice and encouragement. You have given me very useful ideas. Ahna Atlanta/Georgia

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime, glad you found it useful! Yeah I've posted pics on my Instagram last month of the finished project finally. I poured a second row and then filled with pebbles and garden edging border. Good luck on yours!

[@DrLoveQc]

I think those molds should be use one after the other and touching so there is no gaps in the pattern. But still great to see your vids, I liked the shed it was not expensive and turned out way better then I tought with the OSB!

Oh yeah, definately closer would have been better, oh well, live and learn hey. You built a shed, that's awesome! I'd love to see it. Thanks for watching!

Bro I appreciate the concrete explanation cuz I 100% knew that it wasn't just regular quickcrete but I wanted to be sure, I got those same molds lol

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime man! Happy to help. Good luck on yours, keep me posted!

[@osoblues]

fyi i used regular bags of concrete and they worked fine. just make sure you do not add too much water. add a little at a time, it should not be runny but wet enough to get the cream to the top. You can pull the mold immediately after troweling. if you’re making a long path the fast setting concrete will add up.

[@BeSmarterToday]

Thanks so much for sharing! I tried a different cement on mine. It was still to wet the next day. I shattered it, and can use it for filling low spots from the pickup in wet weather. I will pick up the type you used tomorrow! By the way, it looks great to me!

[@pacman4568]

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.

[@reginaturner2284]

Keep sand next to shed. I use clear all for weeds, but wished my hand was in up to doors.

[@davedee4382]

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.

[@dianac2596]

It looks great. Nice job, nice presentation.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks

[@debcurry5775]

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. Got 3 made and quit. Man those things are heavy. Husband told me all along NOT TO DO IT. But did I listen (he was out of town).....Hell no.......I'm a woman and I can do anything. Except this apparently.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Yeah it's a workout. 50 bags at 50 lbs is a lot, plus mixing

I’m a complete rookie when it comes to working with concrete. Thanks to your DIY video I created a 30ft. Walkway. Sadly, it’s not nearly as nicely finished as the one in the video. I would have liked a discussion or some instruction on how to “cure” the cement. Only after a couple of weeks, a friend suggested that I should have kept the cement wet for a few days. I would have liked having you show me how to finish the project.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Fair enough. I did mention to wet the slab after but that brief and didn't say why or for how long. I have shown it in my concrete slab video but should have mentioned it here. We all live and learn. I'm glad that you tackled a project though, that's the first step. Take care and keep it up!

[@christinebicknell1541]

Best demo I have seen yet! Thank you. I am going to try this idea for a small patio area. I am 72 but I reckon it is easy enough even for me. I live in the UK and I cannot find a Quickrete supplier here. Any ideas please? I have bought two moulds which are just like yours and I am going to colour them. I have a small little cottage and I think it will look cute.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Thanks, glad you liked it! It is quite the workout, I'd suggest a second set of hands if you can find them. As for the concrete, the brand isn't so important. Check the psi on the bag, 5000 lbs would be preferable. Also, check and see if it's a fast set like walk on ready in 8-10 hours, that'll work. Then just make sure not to mix it too wet. Good luck on yours and keep me posted, I'd love to see it if you email me some pics when you're done!

[@tassie7325]

I do like these molds as it makes doing a big job manageable for one person. But here in Australia concrete comes in 20Kg bags. That's 45 lbs which is a nightmare for getting a combination that is manageable and fills the molds exactly. I have just ordered one of their smaller molds and hope that one 20kg bag will do the job.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Here's hoping it works out for you

[@tchogworks1987]

Portland cement with sand and small gravel. Mix it pretty dry 10 minutes you can pull up the mold. I tried the premix bags and they seemed different every bag. Like some Had more cement and less gravel and sand

[@andreagant9475]

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!

[@joannesmith1287]

Thank Jesse for sharing your experience. I am nervous and don't think I would feel comfortable doing the pavers in place as you did. Could I do them on a tarp, let them dry/set and then move them to a spot on my lawn I am trying to create a walkway? What do you see as a downside of doing it this way? Thanks for your time.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Anytime! There is only one way to find out and that's to attempt it at least once. But I'm sure you could, I'd lay some sand on the tarp to prevent them from sticking. They will be a bit more of a pain in my opinion having to transport and reorient them later, but that's your call. Good luck on your project

[@catherineaxelby237]

Hi, thanks for the video! Very helpful. Just wondering, I have these molds too but have not used them as yet. I notice that the sections do not allow for joining shapes within the one mold, have you found that any of the ‘stones’ have come away from each other? Essentially breaking the path?

[@SAMSAMMY837]

Do the the small pieces can move out of place ?since they are separate from each other.

[@JessedoesDIY]

Not once the sand is poured around them and landscaped after. Especially if you use Polymeric sand

[@joibaxter2278]

Can this be done using the dry pour method? It won't be walked on at all. It's just for the landscaping around my above ground pool. If the mold were to be left on until dry, does the concrete stick to it where it messes up the shape of the "stones"?

[@JessedoesDIY]

I absolutely hate the 'dry pour method' and there are many reasons as to why. It may stick, I can't say for sure

[@angeladavis8429]

I just discovered your Channel and it's giving me some great ideas. But I want to make organic shaped stepping stones in a Whimsical Garden. I cannot find any individual organic molds ( as well as shapes such as flowers with individual petals) and so you see wood molds is not an option. What would you suggest to use for organic design molds for stepping stones?

[@gwenkilby]

Why not make a ball, a hide a key stone or a simple pot with the leftover cement?

[@vraye1116]

Was your area level? Does the area have to be level to work?

[@JessedoesDIY]

It was close to level. I used my rocks raked out to smooth it and bring it into level. These can go basically anywhere and it's up to you and your project if you want them level or following the ground

[@amerrashed6287]

Thanks a lot, very helpful. You are using readily mixed concrete products, but what about if I want to make my own mixing one ? Any idea about ingredients & ratio?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Typically you'll use a 3-2-1-.5 method. 3 parts small stone for aggregate, 2 parts sand, 1 part cement, .5 parts water. Then adjust as needed

[@charlesecrowdersr3251]

When is the best time to grout in between the molds to finish the job ?

[@JessedoesDIY]

Depending on the mix used, high early like I used you probably could in like 48 hours. Regular mix I'd wait a week

[@sandrahinde3372]

is there a way to get these molds closer together so there isnt a gap in between each mold placement.

[@JessedoesDIY]

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
