Fantastic product! We used and abused it!
A couple of tips…
*use baking spray to oil them before pouring concrete.
*if you want to use your mold more then once for the day buy instant drying concrete.
*make sure you smooth over each top down to where you can see the black outline of the mold. If you don’t do this you will get weird tops on the molds.
*make the concrete as watery as possible. It makes for smooth tops.
*To make a turn we filled in the gap between 2 of the molds by using a piece of wood so the concrete did not leak out. Creating another block.

I love this stone walkway mold. It is so simple to use. Each side has either an “out” or “in” pattern. Simply match your next section so it interlocks.
Turn your pattern 1/4 turn each time to achieve a more random look.
Curves are simply made by aligning the mold to the last poured section, pressing the mold down, remove mold, and remove excess concrete.
To make sure these look like random stones, use a trowel to smooth out the sharp edges.
I have used both soil and gray-colored mortar to fill in the spaces between the ‘stones’.

I decided to use these forms then fill the cracks with sand. Instead of trying to make a cement slab outside the door to my corridor. They are a tad bigger than what I had anticipated but that’s a good thing. This was my first time using these forms. I only had one issue with the entire project. The issue I had was with the concrete. If you plan to use these and you’re not a contractor or similar, definitely consider buying an attachment for your drill so you don’t spend thirty minutes just mixing the concrete. Other than that, I didn’t have any issues. I highly recommend these forms for anyone looking to create a path, walkway, or whatever, these are your “go-to”! A++

I accidentally discovered these concrete molds when one of our neighbors sold one in the local classifieds. I was intrigued and just had to try one as we have been planning to do something about our patio pretty much since we bought our home about five years ago. I gave it to my husband to test and yesterday he finally got around to giving it a sample run.
We really like the result and how easy it was to use. Plus the potential to customize the pavers to suit your needs. So we are pretty excited and will create a garden pathway before winter approaches. And finally, resurface our plain and ugly cracked patio.

This was the best purchase to make for my grassless pool area. It was very easy to use and it came out beautiful. It does take time however I wish I had purchased 2 more. The process itself was quick but I only purchased 2 however, 4 would have made the project quicker. But all in all, I was very please and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to add a personal touch to their outdoor area.

This works well. We had some user error, not rotating correctly, but I am still happy with how the patio is coming out. The product itself is great! We need to fill in the gaps with some polymeric sand and then we will be done.

These are fun to use, we are making pavers for our patio extension. An 80-pound bag of Quikcrete makes 4 pavers. We read other reviews that said to use a mold release or non-stick cooking spray and remove the molds after about 15-20 minutes so we took that advice and it has worked perfectly.

Great size and easy to use. Making a pathway from our driveway to the house and it couldn’t be easier. Ordered 2 more (total of 3) to make the work go faster. Btw an 80lb bag fills the mold 3 times perfectly. We let the concrete set for about 8 minutes before we lifted it when it looked dryish on top and moved to the next. We were able to use the whole bag before it set doing it this way using quickcrete. I was able to do the whole job with a baby attached to my back.

We purchased this mold to redo the patio in our backyard. We were all set to start & then it snowed! We found that this mold makes a great pattern when we used it in the snow when playing outside with the kids.
I love the pattern it made in the snow so can’t wait to get our patio done using this!

I am very impressed with this stencil. The plastic it is made from is very strong. The pattern itself has a nice random look to it, but fits perfectly with the other side of the mold so that everything looks cohesive. This was a really good price compared to some other molds I have looked at, and I am so glad we made this purchase. I think it will last us a good long while.
