I think I’m addicted to this video. I can’t stop watching… as if the more I watch, the more my yard gets done. Thank you so much for the video I found all products mentioned (even the molds) as you made it super easy. I’m taking your advice and stocking up until my molds come in and I’m confident that this project will be a success 🙏🏾💜
Hey Kit Kat! Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the kind words and support! You’ll be hanging out on your new patio in no time. Best of luck with your project!!!
IT WORKED …. I sampled a different mold BUT IT WORKED… They came out beautifully. Thank you again I’m so excited about this. I will be recommending your channel when I start mine 😊
Yessss!!!! That’s great and thank you for recommending my channel!!!😊
Very nice indeed. I like a few (little) air bubbles. It adds personality to the fake stone.
Hey thanks so much. I appreciate the positivity 👍🏻
After watching this video I ordered the mold and tested them out per your instructions. AMAZING! Just ordered 112 bags of Quikrete at Home Depot & bought a mixer second hand. Patio project is underway! Thank you!
Hey Kaili! That’s awesome!!! Best of luck with your project! You’re going to crush it! 💪🏻
Awesome teaching video. Appreciate it, was looking for a bit of how too on these specific paver molds and now my vision of project just expanded knowing it’s really not that difficult. ❤️❤️❤️👍
Hi Carrie, thanks so much for the kind words and for checking out my channel. Best of luck with your project! 😊
I just purchased this cement mold set, and I am going to use a water based spray on stain to make my stones have a natural colored stone variation effect. This was VERY helpful! Thank you 🙏
That sounds awesome!!! Best of luck with your project!!! 👍🏻
Great job!! The patio looks beautiful.
Thanks so much Rosa!! I appreciate the positive feedback 👍🏻
Thanks a bunch! I recently got the same molds and your video was exactly what I was hoping to find!

Hey Dean! Thanks for checking out my channel! Best of luck with your project 👍🏻
Thank you so much for taking time to do this great video!! We have watched it several times before doing our first set today. So far so good 👍🏼 We did get two sets of molds so we can go a bit faster. Trying to get all the tips we can to ensure a great firepit patio area. Wondering if anyone has tried the penetrating stain for color vs. the color added to cement mixture? Thanks!
Hey Carol, thanks so much for the kind words! I haven't personally tried the penetrating color, but you should definitely try a batch and see how it comes out (I did quite a bit of experimenting with color variations). Best of luck with the firepit/patio. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Top notch tutorial, Thank you!
Thanks so much, Debbie! I appreciate it👍🏻
Great informative and helpful video !! Thanks for posting !!!!
Hey thanks so much for the kind words, Teresa!
It looks great the way you did it and everything and I give you 110% for doing it it's a lot of work they got a trench behind the fence so the water could travel the other way to when the rains heavy over there just to give you a heads-up thank you New York you work really hard for it
Thanks so much for the kind words, Riza! I really appreciate it!

Awesome Job Sir!
I just purchased the same set and planning to do something similar. I have two questions.
Did you leave space between each stone or are they touching at the base while still allowing for sand to be added to the joints?
It looks like you worked on this when the weather was still cool. Any problems with the stones curing in the colder temperatures?
Hey James, thanks for checking out my channel! When you lay the stones down, there is a natural space in between them. I tried to get them as close together as possible, but there was still a small gap. I did most of the work during spring/summer and shot the instructional video in December. I noticed that the stones cured better on hotter days. If you are making the stones during the colder months, you may want to give them a couple of days to set up (you can remove from molds and just set aside). Good luck!
I really enjoyed your video! You did an excellent job.
I would like to know how is everything holding up after 1 year. Do you have to fight the weeds a whole lot???
Hey thanks csaba Paltan! Everything is holding up great! The only thing I want to do is power wash the patio. Moss has developed in a few spots in between the stones. I will most likely power wash and reapply some of the sand. Other than a bit of moss in a few spots, it’s all good 👍🏻
Great instructional video, thanks for helping us out and posting it! Only question I have is, is there a reason why “quick set” concrete can’t be used? I’ve looked and can’t find a reason why not to. If I do use fast set concrete I should be able to make 5-7 form sets a day. Thanks again
Hey Jason! Thanks for checking out my channel! I think it may have to do with the strength rating of the concrete. I’d check the rating on the quick set and see if it suits your needs. You could always try a few with quick set and test them out once they harden. Best of luck with your project! 👍🏻
Sweet video and great job on that patio. I really appreciate all your effort documenting your build for us DIYers. Love your martial art demo too;). SUBed and LIKED!!!
Hey Rob, thanks so much! I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Nice budget patio also today is my birthday!
Hey aydenwenta2020, Thanks so much for checking out the video and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a great one!
Great video and thank you for the list of supplies! Is 4 inches of gravel needed before you add the leveling sand?
Hey Jay! Thanks for the kind words! I definitely don’t think I added 4 inches of gravel. It was less than that, for sure. Best of luck with your project! 👍🏻
yes, plus the stone dust, compacting every 2in. please use real stone or pavers. this guy is going to have a stoney/grassy part of his yard (with a falling down pergola) in about 5 years. Just hire a pro and youll have a nice patio for life. not just a stoney grass bare spot in youre yard.
👍👍👍
Looks great, how long did it take you to complete the 500 sq ft?
Hey Thanks for checking out my channel Mike's Garage! Not gonna lie... it took a while to create all of the stones and it was a grind. Totally worth it though as we saved a lot of money this way. The whole thing took probably 6-8 weeks or so.
How much concrete do you need to fill a set of molds?
Hi Sherry, thanks for checking out my channel. A 60 lb. bag should fill up one set. Best of luck!
👍😀
How many bags did he use for the 6 moulds ? 1 60 pound bag ?
Hey Sam Adams! Thanks for checking out my channel! Yep, it’s one - 60lb bag to fill a set of six molds. Best of luck with your project👍🏻
Doesn't look budget, backyard looks great!
Thanks so much underdog outdoors!!!
......50 shades of grey ... lol
🤣🤣
Really He must have 2 years in this thing. Time is money.

It's concrete molded to look like flagstones
That is not flagstone , its concrete molding. It does not even look like natural flagstone. weird ass colors
