Building concrete patios and walkways that resemble brick or

cobblestone is an easy do-it-yourself project with Walk Maker® re-

usable plastic molds. Walk Maker®molds offer unlimited designs and

can be used with a variety of QUIKRETE® Concrete Mixes.

• QUIKRETE® Walk Maker® mold -- available in Country Stone and Running Bond

Brick, European Block and Basket Weave Brick Patterns

• QUIKRETE® Fiber-Reinforced Concrete or Concrete Mix (Four 60 lb. bags or

three 80 lb. Bags will fill three 2' x 2' Walk Maker® sections)

• Mixing equipment (wheelbarrow or mixer)

• Trowel and shovel

Optional

• QUIKRETE® Liquid Cement Color (available in red, brown, buff, terra cotta, and

charcoal)

• QUIKRETE® Play Sand

• Wood chips, pebbles, etc. for color or textures

Site Preparation

Place the Walk Maker® mold in the desired location. Walk Maker®

molds can be placed directly on any relatively flat surface. They will

configure the concrete to the existing base. If you prefer, you may

remove one inch of top soil and level the Walk Maker® mold before

filling it with concrete. Removed soil can be used to fill in open spaces

alongside concrete after the walk has set up.

Mixing and Placement

1. Add sufficient water for the amount of concrete being mixed. Mix

thoroughly until plastic-like consistency is achieved. If additional water

is required, add small amounts until the proper consistency is

obtained.

2. Use a shovel or trowel to fill each mold cavity to the surface of the

mold. Pat and smooth the surface with a trowel. 3. Remove the mold promptly, and smooth the concrete edges with a trowel until the desired appearance is obtained. 4. Place the mold adjacent to the completed section and continue this process until your project is completed. By alternately rotating the Walk Maker® mold one quarter turn each time, a variation in the pattern is achieved. 5. If desired, QUIKRETE® Sand Mix or Mortar Mix can be applied dry to the hardened concrete to fill the joints.

. Mix thoroughly until the concrete is uniform in color. Add water as needed to achieve consistency. 4. A variety of surface textures may be achieved by experimenting with different toppings. This should be done while the concrete is still damp but has reached initial set (approximately one hour after concrete has been placed). Some ideas include: small wood chips or pea gravel pressed into the surface of the concrete; irregular trowel imprints; and brushing QUIKRETE® Play Sand on the surface.

A Rule of thumb to follow is each additional poured section of Walk Maker® will add 1' 9" to your existing Walk Maker® stones.
