New Patio With Quikrete Walkmaker On A Budget!

[@davidcheek3026]

Liked your video. Our Granddaughter was born in Washington, DC with a diaphragmatic hernia and had to spend 3 months in the Children's Hospital with the majority of the time in their NICU. She was tube fed for almost 2 years and even today at age (almost) 16, she is a picky eater. She is small in stature, but big in heart and is a social butterfly to say the least. A true blessing and I carry her picture in her Nana's lap when she escaped the NICU as my wallpaper on my iPhone. You are in store for the same blessings. Keep up your good work and you are doing the right thing to build value in both your life and your family.

Looks great ! Thanks.

Looks good! Do you have a bit of a slope? How long do you wait before removing the mold?

[@CaseyIsCROCreates]

Thank you! I didn’t have a ton of slope where I installed it but there was some. Depending on how dry the mix was, anywhere from 5-10 minutes after you’ve put it in the form probably, it’s much quicker than you would think because if you packed it in then it’ll hold its shape!

Very cool project man, I'm also doing something similar for my side house as a walk way. No weed barrier or any gravel base? Will the stones shift over time?

[@CaseyIsCROCreates]

Thank you and good luck!! No gravel base needed, I would suggest getting all the grass clear underneath first though. A weed barrier isn’t necessary but if I did it over again I think I’d use one just because it wouldn’t hurt. And the “stones” settle very little in within a couple days of being placed and then have stayed impressively firm and level across each other. You can put a sand on top that locks in the joints but I haven’t tried that yet

[@MissyEden]

What specific concrete did you use? What mold/stamp!

[@CaseyIsCROCreates]

I just used regular 3500 PSI quikrete in the yellow bags you can get at Home Depot or Lowe’s and then the mold was called the “Walkmaker” which I had to end up buying online because it wasn’t in stock but it’s made by Quikrete as well! Thanks for watching!

[@shibubasheer]

How is drainage on these concrete pathways? Will polymeric sand let water seep through?

[@CaseyIsCROCreates]

I actually haven't put any of the polymeric sand inbetween the joints yet, I think that may be a project for this next spring (but have been super happy even without using that - heard mixed reviews on how long the sand lasts), but that said I would still imagine that water would pass through the sand fairly easily, these are great to put a pathway through an otherwise muddy area and that will also be another project for next spring haha!

[@MK-qb2so]

can you drive and park cars on it

[@CaseyIsCROCreates]

I would think you would probably be fine as long as you removed the topsoil from where you wanted to place them, wouldn’t worry so much about the concrete breaking once it’s cured as I would the ground moving and settling underneath it if you have a lot of expansive soils in the area like we do here
