IMPORTANT NOTE, plan ahead. If possible have a starting and ending spot that fits the Walkmaker dimensions. You can custom cut and form smaller areas, but it is more complicated and turns a simple project into a more serious endeavor.

After the walk has dried, you can add sand for aesthetic reasons, but you can also get polymeric sand and lock the sidewalk joints. You can get this kind of sand from the Amazon or big box stores.

The Quikrete Walkmaker takes only minutes to complete a 2’X 2’ section. A do-it-yourself delight. No special skills required. Just fill the mold with concrete, smooth the surface and remove the mold.
Install a walk or a patio that resembles Basket Weave Brick for the price of a few bags of concrete.
The Walk Maker not only offers Basket Weave Brick designs, but also stone and tile patterns as well..
The addition of coloring will dramatically enhance any Walk Maker project. Mix the liquid color with water before adding it to the dry concrete mix. A variety of surface textures may be obtained by experimenting with different finishing techniques; i.e. a metal trowel will give you a smooth finish, a wooden trowel will make a rougher surface and a brushed surface will add texture and expose more aggregate.
