Love it! Following for more home improvement tips! You made it look so easy! Definitely like the commentary to help build confidence in the process!
Thank you I definitely appreciate that!!
Great video. I love how you shoutout your family. The pavers look good enjoy.
Thank you I very much appreciate that and glad you enjoyed the video!!
Looks great ! Thanks.
Looks good! Do you have a bit of a slope? How long do you wait before removing the mold?
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!
Thanks and god bless!
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?
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
How is drainage on these concrete pathways? Will polymeric sand let water seep through?
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!
can you drive and park cars on it
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
Love your comments of your daughter. Mine is 28 now.
Thank you! Has to be so many awesome memories over that 28 years!
