- Basic overview of a simple patio project. Used the Quikcrete Walk Maker country stone form to make a 133 sqft patio. Stained the concrete using Eagle acid stain, and sealed it with Behr wet-look sealer. Project cost around $500.
Personally, I think it looks far superior to stamped concrete. I think you nailed it with the stain as well. Great vid; great job on the project!
I love the end result👍👍👍 And your daughter is a very patient and great helper.
I think this looks great. It's alot cleaner looking than most I've seen on here. Good job!
That looks amazing! Love that your kid was helping!!!!Good Dad
It actually looks better than stamped concrete. Great job. Best I’ve seen thus far
Very helpful, and I do this years ago and put it right on the ground. I leveled the dirt ,and pushed it in, it self levels I poured dry fine cement on top, hit it with a spray water light . And it has been my horse wash rack for years. I love it.
Being a mason , I think you did a very professional job!!!
Best looking one I, have seen! Beautiful job ❤
This turned out great. I like your matter-of-fact delivery too.
This looks awesome , I’ve just ordered the same former can’t wait to get started in the garden with it
This is the most beautiful video, having your daughter helping happily to you is priceless, this teaching will remain with her for the rest of her life, and will be saved as memories framed with love.
Agreed... Perfect family time.
I think it looks great! I'd love that in my backyard!!
I think it looks great. Better then most that I have seen.
BEAUTIFUL Job...
Since it has been awhile...
Do you still like this application?
Is there anything you'd change?
Thank you for sharing this great video...
(Your Helper is Precious)... Making Great Memories...
Hey, I think it turned out so nice! I love the color you went with, thanks for the very detailed video
Looks great, I agree time is a rare commodity.
Thank you so much, I am going to do the same thing. Your video is awesome.... very helpful.
An amazing job 💯. Thanks 👍
You certainly have a nice helper.
Well done looks great I see nothing at all wrong with it.
This looks way way better than stamped concrete
Best one I have seen. Good Job.
Bro, its beautiful!
Looks very nice!
I love this! I'm thinking of doing something similar. I think yours turned out great
Looks fantastic
Wow looks great!!
Is it strong enough to park a car on it ? I love it. It's beautiful.
Same question
Hi Pamela, this stamp only allows the concrete to be 2” thick mainly meant for walkways, paths, etc. Four inches thick is standard for passenger cars to drive on. For heavier vehicles, a thickness of five inches is recommended. I hope this helps. 👍🏼

But if you wanted the look pour a 2" concrete base then do this on top.
@@eldenl1 thats a big no. concrete added onto an existing concrete slab is a disaster. stone doesn't bind to itself.
That looks really nice. 👍
You didn’t show what you used to fill in the gaps. This turned out so amazing!! Wow!!
He did...he posted all the materials in the beginning of the video
I think it looks great.
And a fine job you did love it .
Did you seal it before you put down your sand? That is what makes sense to me but you mentioned the dealer after you mentioned the sand so that is why I'm questioning it.
Very nice and amazing DIY project! I am thinking about same project on my backyard. I was wondering if thus type would survive cold weather climate (10-15 F the coldest) and snow in the winter? I know concrete would do just fine, but my concern is if single pieces start moving and falling apart. Has anyone done this in cold climates? Thanks 😊
Great job. Saved yourself a ton of money.. Hope u took your little helper out for dinner…
Looks good, alot of work, see comment below mine, LOL I agree pour slab but you dont get paver look unless stamped so whatever one wants. but alot of work and looks very good. Nice Job
I kinda wish the forms were REALLY BIG so you can throw a bunch of cement and get some real estate covered. The time thing seems like the only drawback to it.
I have a small backyard with unevent brick blocks floor from the previous owner, can I put concrete blocks on the top of the brick floor without taking all the bricks out? I'm thinking to get the flooring molds then fill concrete in?
It looks great.👍
Beautiful 😍
Great video! Do you have any tips on how to make the hand-made stones where the pattern didn't align?
I just plopped in some concrete and hand-formed them with a trowel. As long as you mix it up stiff enough, it'll stay in shape.
Looks great
Why did you used the gravel stones? The instruction says you don't need to use them. Your video is inspiring me do the same.
Easier to level the ground with the stone.
Is it driveway? can you drive up to it?
Brilliant idea!!
Could you use a larger float to initially smooth out before removing the mold
very natural looking , glad the red died off, this looks great
Today is the 8th of july. 2022. how has the patio holding up? are the stones moving? has the polysand holding up? how is the stain lasting? update please.
Looks great! How is it putting chairs or tables on it?
What happen if i didn't use stones? Can i work in my yard without stones? I'm thinking make the proyect for a swimming pool
Awesome work. Do you think using regular top soil to allow grass to grow will work as your jointing material instead of using polymeric sand?
I think it would be a pain to have to maintain the grass, but I think it would work as long as you had something substantial underneath.
It looks amazing!! I'm thinking of doing this, but how did you prepare the ground under the patio?
Looks nice when new. Remember however, it will be tough to sweep with those grooves that fill up w/all manner of leaves, debris and grit. Vacuum? Sure, but hauling out that machine gets irritating when just a broom is preferred.
leaf blower, problem solved
Leaf blower
Looks good
Hey I was just thinking. Could you put this on a patio deck ?
That looks great! I admit I’ve seen far worse from pros, those molds look like a pain in the ass to work with though.
Why was using stone necessary?
It would settle unevenly otherwise. I should have probably added stone dust in there in addition to the stone.
Might be a stupid question, but did you pressure wash/spray wash in between 1st and 2nd coat of stain?
Most likely...
Not bad, besides it looking like a minecraft floor with the same texture for every square foot
Where did you get your stone from?
7 x 19 = 97. Good work. Bad math.
Kiefer means Pine Tree in German.
The rust color was way better.
Goob👍🏻
Pour a slab it’s easier..and faster.
Kind of what im thinking but he wanted the stamped kind of look i think. I dont think the pavers hold up here when we go from snow to summer to snow to summer... maybe but I dought it...
@@bwnco then he should of bought some stamps or rent them. What he did was USELESS.
Ehh... I'd say pour a slab if you don't want to do it yourself. Everything is easier and faster if you hire it out. Even if you poured the slab yourself, most people would still hire a finisher, and where's the fun in that?
Cool project ..get rid of that loud "ping!". It's annoying as hell
I'm such a dork.lolo
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣these thing are horrible!
Don't kid yourself. That patio looks great. No one would know it was DIY.
I mixed the coloring with the concrete. It turned out very consistent and 10 years later it still looks the same
Good to know... Did you have to ReSeal it?
Got a video or some pics so I can see how it looks 10 years later?
Frank, what coloring product did you mix in?
Nice work and helpful to many with the cost breakdown. The teamwork with family and teaching kids young is awesome as well!
I did this years ago, about the same size area and it worked out great. However, you took it to the next level with your finishing techniques. Looks great!
Wow makes me want to redo mine. I didn't think about smoothing the edges. Love the way ut came out.
Love seeing your girl out there with you learning to do things outside!!! Beautiful!!
Thank you for having your Daughter help and teaching her how to do this project. Dad’s like you make a difference in the world.
"Amen Sista... Amen"
Very nice. You should be very proud of your work. That turned out great,
This came out wonderful and having your daughter help is something she will never forget . You both should be very proud.
That looks amazing! Don’t sell yourself short, great job!
Right! It really does look amazing!
Bro if I walked into his backyard and saw this project I wouldn't belive him he did it himself and for under 600....looks amazing....
I wonder if there's a concrete I can use that will allow vehicles to be parked on this?
It looks fantastic, and you did an excellent job getting it to look so much like stamped concrete. For $500 you should be over the moon. I'm thinking of trying something like this myself.
Great work getting your little girl to help. Building great memories for her to look back on is something she will never forget.
That's an interesting idea! Thanks for sharing. I think I might do this for my condo backyard. I was thinking of doing a floating low deck with wood or trex but the HOA says we can't have gas or charcoal grill if we used decking.
I mean it looks great to me, one of the best construction videos I’ve seen on TH-cam. Definitely the best and most descriptive video on using the forms I’ve seen so far. 🙏👍
Looks awesome. How deep are the cracks in comparison to the concrete? Hopefully no chance of anything growing through them.
I didn’t know Matthew McConaughey was into DIY.
I was waiting for ‘allright, allright, allright!’ 😄
Cool idea. I’m trying to figure out if I want pavers or concrete. I just might be able to have both. Thanks 😊
this is outstanding work second to none looks beautiful may God continue to bless you.
I think these look great! Way better than decent as you say.
I just made a stone path using pavers around my raised garden beds. But I used real paver stones, leveling sand and the same type of hardening filler when I was done. If it takes an 80 lb bag of quickcrete, I don't see how it saves money? My 16x16 pavers were only about $6.50 apiece. How large were your molds?
Your project does look a bit more "professional" tho... Good job. And using child labor who think it's "fun"? Priceless!!! LOL!
Do you have a video to show what it looks like? I am interested!
For the price it came out great thanks for sharing
Brings back fun memories from when I did my walkways & patio all around my Spanish rancher. It was my first house & didn't have much money found walk-maker products at a home show years ago. I didnt stain or seal any of my projects just kept to concrete color and it turned out great and it out lasted me as a sold after 12 years for a bigger yard. Loved that you could take your time and as a budget could afford that sure was a bonus for me at the time. I actually still have the original "country style" mold hanging up in my garden shed & its as good as new-sturdy as ever!! Great job your patio looks fantastic stained & sealed- well worth the effort 😊
The voice change when he’s doing the labor work and when he’s getting to the end result lol looks beautiful!
Good job you amazing
good job. and good vid.
Solid and honest commentary on a good DIY project I am looking to tackle. Good info and appreciate the truthful comments and opinions on the products as well as the work involved. Keep up the good work.
Wait, did you say 80lbs for one mold? thats nuts. It looks good and you did a nice job.
Good approach, and beautifully done, but it takes too long. Time is money… my time of course
This is my favorite out of all I've seen so far. I bought some of the materials last year and I am so glad I waited.
Your video is well done, informative and not too long.
Good job!
Thanks for making an easy straightforward video that's not 15 or 40 minutes long
Personally it looks like some kind of alligator or reptile hide. You could tell anyone who asks about your patio that it's modeled after a dinosaur hide.
I love this. I would love to do something like this. Thanks for sharing.
