Technical Data

3. 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.
Corners and Curves
For corners, simply butt the Walk Maker® mold to the last section
poured, align in the direction of the turn and continue.
When making curves, there are two options.
1. Butt outside corner of the mold to the existing concrete, align the
curve, and press down on the mold, cutting the freshly placed
concrete on the inside corner. Remove the mold and refinish the cut
portion of the concrete. Place the mold, fill with concrete, and
continue making cuts as necessary to attain the proper curve
alignment.
2. Butt inside corner of the mold to the existing concrete. Fill in the
space between the mold and the existing concrete on the outside of
the corner. Free form the fill-in space. Level, finish, and shape the fill-
in concrete to the desired appearance. Continue the procedure until
the curve is complete.
Estimating Amount of Concrete You'll Need:
From outside edge to outside edge, each Walk Maker® is 2' x 2' ;
however, the Country Stone pattern interlocks, and length of walls
can be estimated by this chart. (The Running Bond Brick pattern does
not interlock and provides a consistent 2' x 2' section.)
