    Hello Micheal I started my walkway with the cobble stones and my pattern took 80 lbs and then some I got 4 patterns with 3 bags of Pro-line crack resistance concrete. I did my walkway and patio for as little as $200 DIY give a take the weather overall I finished it within 3 weeks and this is my first time doing masonry work and it was fun. Thank you

      We did this last Summer and it turned out amazing and was not difficult. I have 4 sons and each was required to bring a friend over.....they took turns hauling bags...pushing wheelbarrows and mixing! They each got lovely parting gifts. Thanks for playing...."This is Heavy!"🤣🤣🤣

    @ms37348 3 роки тому +14

    I see a couple issues with this. You need to throw gravel or sand and level of before you mold because those stamping molds obviously form gaps between the “bricks”. Unless you gravel them they will be loose and come off easy or break since you can’t hold to just mud underneath . Also weeds (which you still had growing under before you started will be growing all from winthjng the concrete.

      Raj Mann Polymer sand seals the gaps up to half an inch. Pour and sweep into gaps then spray with water to activate the sealer. There are videos on UA-cam on how to use it. About $22 for a 40 lb bucket at Home Depot.

    • @YourNewHouse
      @YourNewHouse  4 роки тому

      After the walk has dried, you can add sand for aesthetic reasons, but you can also get polymeric sand and lock the sidewalk joints. You can get this kind of sand from the Amazon or big box stores. Here are examples: amzn.to/38kAkHg & low.es/2LiyprM
      I have no experience with this particular product/brand, it's just for research.
