IMPORTANT NOTE, plan ahead. If possible have a starting and ending spot that fits the Walkmaker dimensions. You can custom cut and form smaller areas, but it is more complicated and turns a simple project into a more serious endeavor.
We will post a new video in a couple of months that shows more options and details.
You can add texture through brooms, brushes rollers, fabric, stamps...
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, it's just to help you get started in your search.
The Quikrete Walkmaker takes only minutes to complete a 2’X 2’ section. A do-it-yourself delight. No special skills required. Just fill the mold with concrete, smooth the surface and remove the mold.
Install a walk or a patio that resembles Basket Weave Brick for the price of a few bags of concrete.
The Walk Maker not only offers Basket Weave Brick designs, but also stone and tile patterns as well..
The addition of coloring will dramatically enhance any Walk Maker project. Mix the liquid color with water before adding it to the dry concrete mix. A variety of surface textures may be obtained by experimenting with different finishing techniques; i.e. a metal trowel will give you a smooth finish, a wooden trowel will make a rougher surface and a brushed surface will add texture and expose more aggregate.

I love ole pop's white tennies while working with dirt.
I love it.... White pants and shoes, and not a bit of dirt......lmao
Lol...right?!!!
'this didn't turn out to be as easy as I thought...' my sentiments exactly. Difficult but so rewarding. Thanks for sharing!
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!"🤣🤣🤣
I love you Michael. This is the best idea I ever saw.
OMG! $75.00???!! I thought it would cost a lot more! Just gorgeous! Thank you so much for a great instructional video!
in 2011 dude
You gotta love this guy! Great attitude and the results were great too.
this video was right on time for me. I am getting ready to do a patio with a form just like this one, only a bit smaller. I got a lot of great tips from watching this video. Thanks.
How did it hold up or did it start to shift
Wow...that was awesome. Great job! Can't wait to try it.
That was an amazing project! Thank you, Michael!
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
Love it! We did our entire back patio with this form and used a powdered tint from a brick manufacturer, in the terracotta shade.
How is your patio holding up and how did you prepare the ground? Have and weeds sprouted up?
How is it holding up or did it start to shift and move
Great job. Glad I found your channel. I've looked at several patterns and couldn't decide, but this did it for me. I like the brick-look in the terra cotta color.
You did a great job. As we say in French, it’s with the old pans that we make a better soup. Don’t get me wrong!
Amazing! This would take me weeks!
Absolutely beautiful great job!
Thank you Sir. Amazing work.
😂 who else is watching this guy at midnight! Michael is a hoot
Im.watching at 4am 2 years later
That's an excellent idea. Good job.
the best video on youtube, well explained
Hats off!! Great job
Thanks for ur video! I don’t have the fancy equipment. Your floor looks great!
I would level then use some form of a base and the put weed fabric and then pour cement and then finish with polymeric sand to seal the gaps.
Thanks my friend. Wary nice
Beautiful walk way.
Poor man is huffing and puffing 😂 he needs some assistants
Wow I love it it looks tedious but worth it.
Beautiful, l love it.
Love it!!!
Excellent!
amazing job 👍👍👍👌👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great job you done good I’m so proud I wish I could do that I’m 75 and I’ve got a back and a half that hurts
Good job 👍
That’s amazing
How did he manage to stay so clean? 🤷♂️
love it. awesome
Thanks for a very easy to follow video Loved the mixer where can I get it?
Amazing that you didn't get those white pants dirty!
This looks nice. I have an area that needs this.
We did this last summer and it was not difficult at all. Just get some youngsters to haul those bags! He didn't show filling gaps.....we used that sand u sweep in and water in and it hardens.
Thanks...
I enjoyed watching you
New subscriber & the walk way turned out beautiful. I am looking into buying a form & making a walk way as well . Thank you 😊
"It only took 4 hours out of my life." When you know you're getting higher up in years.
That part was hilarious
Excellent
Wow, do you have to put some kind of mortar or filler in between the bricks?
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.
need to add paver sand to the spaces, and the outside should have some paver supports as well. it all depends on how far you really care to go
Great job! You are BRAVE to wear WHITE! lol.
Hey Michael I watch your video each time just to remind me how simple this job is because my mother would like me to redo her walkway but she wants sand can you tell me what kind of sand that is good to put in the joints.
Michael it would look great with sand as grout.
Not a drop of mortar on his shoes or clothes..really😂😂😂
his a master at work! no dirty job , lovin it
Because he used the right amount of water and he only mixed about 40lbs to 50lbs in that small drum and did everyone notice how pasty the concrete was. Moreover, it looked liked colored cement
I'm having fun watching you.
After all these years ,I find out I have been holding a trowel backwards.
4 hours, amazing !
I was freaking out, white pant and sneakers.
Even though he did looked cute.
Hysterical
Please send the link where to but the molds, the concrete mix barrel. Thank you so much
Nice project where did you bought the molding
I suspect the "only took about 4 hours" for the project was minimized similarly to the "only took about 30 seconds" to mix the first bucket of concrete.
I noticed that the footage skipped ahead 😂
May I know The name of that plastic bucket that you use to mix the concrete ? I want to buy like that . And where to buy it ?
nice
Great looking walkway, but for areas with severe freeze/thaw cycles...potential -5 to 105F....how deep does one need to go with gravel under the concrete?
White pants? Maybe not the best choice with red concrete.
Job looks great though
What a great job. If you can do it so can I!
Can this method be used for driveway widening? I checked your website but it is under construction. I’m very motivated to try your method. Where to buy the walkmaker and cement mixer?
verygood
did it remain attached to the ground or bricks can be moved?
Can’t find that bucket!!! Where else can I get one!?!?!?
Hi Michael, thanks for your outstanding video. I’m looking for the mixing bucket and forms you used and I can’t find them at the usual places. Where did you get them?
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! You can find them on Amazon amzn.to/4cKkwyg
I cannot find that quikrete basketweave mold anywhere I have found knockoff molds but I want the quikrete version.
Searched all over but could not find that exact brick form. Can you post a link to the form you used here? Thx.
Will a patio made this way be able to hold up a gazebo?
Shouldn’t you put gravel or sand underneath for drainage? Also a weed barrier?
@POTUS TRUMP 2020 .MAGA-NRA I'm agreeing with baker. Noxall the area first. Then Sand to level. Tamp it down. Then weed barrier. Those were individual bricks when he was done lifting up the form. All I could think of was WEEDS galore.
@POTUS TRUMP 2020 .MAGA-NRA Are you being sarcastic?
Where can I buy cement mixer
Where can I get the concrete?
talented budda
Where we can order that molder here in the Philippines
a much cheaper alternative to a color additive, if you desire a red or terra cotta, is powdered red iron oxide. i have used it, with very nice results, for a fraction of the cost of these color additives
cool i might try ,do you use the same amount as he did in video but in powder form ? Thanks
This is very true. The iron oxide powders are so much cheaper and can adjust to make any desired tint you want. I use black oxide a lot to make grey bricks and pavers and use less than half of what they say to make black ones so with making grey ones the powder goes more than twice as far. I buy 1kg of it at a time and costs me $10. I get about 100 grey 9x4.5x3 inch bricks out of it.
Hello👋🙋♂️ there...
Amazing and very interesting video🎥.. Super like👌👌👌 project.
Thanks for sharing very helpful
Do keep posting
Warm regards and best👍💯 wishes
The UnknownManCub 👍😎👨🏭
Wooow..👏👏
what would you dont have room for the last one? You would cut the form or something?
Where did you get the bucket at? Im 52 yrs old and IT would help with
What can you fill the lines in with
at 9bucks a bag for 60 lbs & 1+ bag per form i find it impossible to rationalize 75 bucks i see 14 lg form areas, is there sand in the joints? or is dirt just going to pile up in the joints?
i like to ask q b4 i do
Where can I buy a mixer can?
No rocks or sand underneath it?
My god ... I just can't believe this old guy did this ... look at him struggle with the useless "mixer" ... oh my god.
Where they cut it out, I bet he had some younger workers do the job. :)
What about crushed rock and sand underneath it looks great but won't last
Hope you trained young one like you
Project is amazing! Would love that mixing bucket but your link (in the description) is broken. Which is the correct one on Amazon? Thanks
I believe it's currently not available there. So I put the name and where you can get it, 2 comments before yours, under paul karkutt 3 months ago. It keeps hiding when I try to put the comment but that one appears to be visible if you still wanted the info.
and so you'll know I'm just being helpful, not slick. When you click the videos link and look at the addresss bar url, it says the name of the item there.
i decided to get some patio squares, if someone wants to visit im not expecting them to bring a horse
Is there a requirement for any base to be used on the bottom of the pour and do you fill in the cracks between the “bricks” with sand or any other material? Thanks in advance.
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.
Thanks for watching!
@@YourNewHouse where to get this form at
🎉
Where do you get that drum mixer
Video descriptions has links
Not for the mixer.
I bet the guys who really does the work isn’t happy he don’t give them any credit! 4hrs to do all that work with one man at his age and with white pants and not hardly a stain on him! 😂.. don’t have to lie to make a video
LOL!!!
Honestly, who does right angles?
Real bosses wear white to do red color concrete !! Boss level 100!!
What about gap between bricks , do i need to fill it up with some thing ?
I was thinking the thing
Me too
You fill it with sand
@@willbroadbernard784 Thanks
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 TH-cam on how to use it. About $22 for a 40 lb bucket at Home Depot.
💛👍
Does anyone running this show answer the comments? I too, am trying to find the cement mixing bucket/barrel. Where did it come from?
Here are a couple of suppliers. I don't know anything about these websites: bit.ly/302tphZ

As of 7/12/2020, they are out of stock on Amazon: amzn.to/302lqBF
