Building Walks & Patios with a Walk Maker Mold.

Building Walks & Patios with a Walk Maker Mold.

For the next few weeks I will be writing about some very easy spring time 1st impression projects. These projects you can easily do in a weekend to prepare your home for that "Curb Appeal Wow".

Many buyers have started their search on the internet and have seen the pictures of your home prior to actually visiting in person. What you want to do in your photos online is have some "teaser" pictures so there is an urge for a prospective buyer to get in their car and get to your home.

The cost of this project is very minimal.

So find a spot that needs some "jazz" and let's get started.

The following tools and materials can be found at your local Lowe's.

Quikrete Walk Maker mold.

Country Stone pattern available in stock

80 lbs bags of pre-mix concrete. I use the basic pre-mix but you may want to use the crack resistant mix.

Wheelbarrow - or some mixing type barrel

Shovel

Trowel

You can find the directions where you purchase the products. I mix my concrete in a huge plastic tub. I usually do it with my hands while I am wearing gloves. Once I get to the consistency I want I am ready to pour into the mold.

Once in the mold I compact it and trowel the top. After the cement is compact and level I remove the mold. Once the mold is removed I smooth the edges for the look I want.

I usually have enough cement left over to do ½ of the next mold. If I had a cement mixer I would mix up 3 or so bags at a time so that I could do several molds quickly. For me just out "piddling" in my yard this works fine.

Here are the before pictures - well almost before! This is the area cleared out. This yard hand had yard work done for 20 years (from what neighbors said) so there was a lot of "prep" work.
