I've watched a ton of concrete pathways using a stamp. You are the first to go step by step and say how much concrete is needed for each stamp. You showed everything that is needed and pretty much how it will cost to do my job. Thank you for a very well done video! I can't wait to start my project!
Hi Fifi. You honor us with your compliment. Thank you so much! It really is a great system (Quikrete PathMaker) for the DIYer. We want to make people feel as comfortable and as confident as possible when thinking about doing this. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. You might want to check out our Follow Up video, its a Q&A to this video. Best of luck with your project. Thanks for watching. Jackie and Dan
Yall are the sweetest people I've ever seen.
@@abbynelson2801 Awww, thank you very much. We just love what we do and really enjoy sharing with others. 😀
definitely the info I was looking for to price my project!
I got one of those thingys and have hesitated to do it, because I thought I had to freaking excavate my whole yard. I’m so glad I found this video.
My parents used the same type of form when they did their walkways in the back yard, but my mom wanted all the stones to be different colors, so they wouldn't look so "concretey". She went to a grocery warehouse store and bought large bottles of food coloring. She brought them home and poured each color into a spray bottle. While the concrete was stilll wet she sprayed each stone with any combination of food colorings. Its been about 20 years, and though the colors are not as vibrant as they once were, they have retained a lot of the color and they still look really good. Those food color bottles are still available at Smart & Final for about $4 per 8 oz bottle.
Hi Bombshelly. That's very interesting. I've never heard that before. But I guess any kind of pigment could give concrete some coloring. Next time I'm mixing some concrete, I think I'll give that a try to see how it comes out. Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
U heard of people mixing it into the concrete and it the color staying good for years. Wonder if sealing can help. I will try the color mix some time soon myself.
Sounds very smart.👍
Hey, thanks for the coloring tip, because I thought about the same idea. Plus, I was thinking about finding some type of glaze as a finish to retain and protect the color; while protecting the stones.
@@jouforward4609 Hi Jou. Yes, coloring concrete can be a very nice option but remember it can be unusually expensive depending on how much you're making. As far as the colorfast, it does hold its color pretty well over the years. If you're planning on trying to use any kind of glaze, make sure that it's not too slippery because you wouldn't want it to get slick when it rains. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
That looks really amazing - for me being the age of 74-year-old woman & I think I will need the arms and legs of two young bucks to do the heavy lifting and laying out BUT I will be there to keep them company with scones & cups of tea lol!!! Very impressed!!!
Hello Mereham. There's nothing that good tea and biscuits can't handle. ;-) Thanks for watching!
SUPERVISOR!
I'm a single woman and when my parents died, I moved to our farm. There's a lot of work to do and this kind of video helped me a lot to understand what I need to do from planning to budgeting and what are the things I needed. I appreciate videos like this.
Hi @graceade8661 . Thank you so much for that warm comment ... that really means alot. We're glad that the video was able to help you out. Be sure to check out our Follow-Up video, which is a Q&A from viewers like you. We think you'll find it very helpful as well. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html .
If you ever do get a chance to use the WalkMaker, please send some pics/video to JDGardensNJ@gmail.com ... and make the email subject "Photos for J&D" . We are going to be highlighting people's projects and plants on our FaceBook page in the future. Thank you so much for watching. Jackie and Dan
I was just going to look to see if anyone had a video on this exact thing and there you were...right in front of me...lol! Gotta love the internet. I'm actually a 70-year-old woman that is just about to tackle this same project. Thank you for showing some tricks you've learned 😁, hopefully I will avoid making them myself. My project isn't as big as yours, yet, however, time will tell. Thank you for the great how to!!!
Hi Sherriej. Thanks for the compliment. We're glad you were able to find out channel. You might want to watch the follow-up video where we answer viewers questions on the Quikrete Walk Maker. Best of luck on your project and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
Awesome tutorial! Thank you! You can make cheap weed killer with 1 gallon of white vinegar with 1 cup of table salt dissolved in the vinegar and 1 tbsp of dish soap. Cheap and kills everything but won't hurt humans or animals.
Hi Lisa. Thanks for the tip. I know everyone's comfortable using commercial weed killers. We actually talk about that homemade weed killer in our Follow Up video. If you get a chance, take a look at it: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html Thank you so much for watching! J&D
@@jdgardensnj4563 I absolutely will! Thanks again for this tutorial. I'm going to tackle a patio this summer. Wish me luck!
@@Chhesterification Best of luck, Lisa. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.
What I like about this system is you don't have to commit a whole day or weekend to the project. You can just do 2-3 bags at a time on busy days, more on slow days. If you use a trough for mixing the concrete, the cleanup time is probably 10 minutes. You can also avoid those super-hot or cold days. Keep the bags of cement dry, and the project can be done over weeks with little mess in the yard.
Hey Bob. Absolutely! That's the beauty of the system. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
I've done this path. Its really fun. I've added to it over the years, making different curves and turns. I also made a couple forms on an old piece of plastic on the driveway. That way, I have individual pieces to fill in if needed. My path is over 20 years old and had held up great. I'm near Buffalo, New York and the cold has not affected it at all. Have fun.
Hi Cheryl. Thank you for the comment. It's good to hear from others who have had success with the Walk Maker. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
I just finished a small paver patio and oh how much do I wish I found this video before I spent so much time and money on my paver patio!
Thank you so much for showing every step on using this sidewalk mold. I have had that exact mold for at least 25 years and never used it because I was not exactly sure how to go about it and I didn't have someone to help. The mold was actually given to me by my ex-husband who never used it either because he too was not sure how to use it! I will share your video with him and even loan him the mold again if he wants to pour a pathway still! Seeing it being used and all the little steps was great and I really do appreciate it!!
Hi @wyndiefeatherstone948 . Thanks for reaching out to us. That's quite a story :-) . It really is a great system for the DIYer. If it's something you are truly interested in, be sure to watch our Follow-Up video which is a Q&A by viewers like you. You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.htmlsi=CfTqJzRcCE4fizlR . Best of luck! Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
So my boyfriend did a huge path for me from the back steps to the front driveway! I bought a contractor pallet of the quick Crete and we used it all my path has helped to keep dirt out of my house. I am not friends with him anymore but he worked his butt off doing this for me, I helped but truthfully he did most of it! Your toutorial was perfect thank you
Hi @tinaashworth8282 : I got a kick out of your message. I think I should probably hide it, so as not to give Jackie any ideas ;-) . Anyway, thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
1 of the best gardens I have ever seen and I have a been landscaping for 50 years! Beautiful!
Hi @thomasgrady9292 . So sorry for the delayed response. Thank you so much for the compliment. We do try our hardest...it is a labor of love. If you like that video, you might want to check out our Garden North, which is our sunken garden video: ruclips.net/video/1_-yjq8uB_0/видео.htmlsi=h2x16KN22EbqzyWo . Thanks for watching. Jackie and Dan
I used a similar form about 25 years ago to do a walkway on 2 sides of the house .. around 11 linear meters (+- 36 feet) long x 1.5 meters (59") wide. Took me a few months, (young kids, rain, household duties) and mixed in a trough. Just me, myself and I 😺 .. I like doing that type of work, so not complaining just stating that even one little lady can do the job in case someone finds the thought overwhelming .. You Can Do It!!
I dug, installed concrete borders first plus a little sand and gravelbto even out the base. I used concrete to fill halfway up the spaces in-between where you used topsoil. It still looks good except a section in front where I believe the earth shifted over time with the help of roots, freezes. Oh, by the way, I'm 5'2", similar build to your wife. I live in the Paris suburbs and brought my frame back from a US visit in my luggage. We didn't have them here at that time. Looks like you have a nice large yard, will go check out your other videos . Thx, Alysen
Absolutely! There's nothing like DIY. If you get a chance, post some pictures ... we'd LOVE to see them. Thanks for watching!
@@jdgardensnj4563 don't know how to post pix here.
@@alcg3981 you can't. You would have to email them
25 years? That's great, you must have really done it the right way.
Best part is that you smuggled the form in your bag! ❤❤❤💯 This made my day!
Wow - this is a perfect tutorial with every detail. Thank you. Your yard is absolutely beautiful and immaculate.
Hi jk: Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it informative. Garden East is definitely a labor of love. If you haven't already, you should check out the Walk Through from last year with all of the cannas grown: ruclips.net/video/hO3LtC1_Jik/видео.html . Also, we just re-designed Garden East and posted a video yesterday of us setting up the new garden: ruclips.net/video/4d0x9H3N6eI/видео.html - Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Very detailed tutorial and perfect job sharing between the 2 of you. You stay mixing concrete where more power is needed and she stays making tiles were precision and attention to detail is important for a good result!! Thanks for the tutorial and your tiles came out perfect!!
Thank you for the compliment. We try to share all of the tasks between the two of us. Making the stone path was so easy - we really enjoy it. Thank you for watching!
This was an amazingly detailed tutorial. You guys are a great team!
@@mosideas520Thank you very much. It helps that we both love DIY projects, especially when they involve gardening. If you enjoyed this paver video, keep an eye out for a follow-up video where we answer viewers questions. Thank you for watching!
I've watched several concrete paver form in install videos and by far yours is the best I've seen. Your explainations are easy to understand and your steps easy to follow. I was gonna do a paver walkway to extend my driveway now instead I'm gonna use the country stone with stain and top soil installation technique you shared.
Thank you for an excellent video.
Hi Tanya. Thank you for your kind words. We try to put alot into our videos. We're so happy you appreciate it. Be sure to post some pics on our FB page when they're done. We'd love to see them. Thanks for watching!
You seem like such a nice guy. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

Just beautiful! Those giant hosts in the pots😮🥰
Hi @sharonws31 . Thanks for the comment. Yes, we do love our hostas. We've had some of them growing in the same pots for close to 10 years and still growing strong! Dan actually made a video on the Top 5 Plants for Beginning Gardeners and hostas were #1 :-) . You check out the video here: ruclips.net/video/ofNkhGDK3A8/видео.html . There you'll get to see our pride and joy "Big Bertha", our oldest hosta and our Mini Mouse hosta. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
I like that you include all the information on the costs and options 😊
Thank you so much for your comment. Keep an eye out for our follow-up video which will be a Q&A. Thanks for watching!
Man, really convincing argument on buying VS renting a mixer. I do everything by myself, mixing, transporting, and laying my DIY projects in the yard. This could save me a lot of back breaking work. Im about to jump into buying and using this paver mold which is what brought me here. Thank you for the video.
Hi @chrisblanco8923: Thanks for the comment. Absolutely! If you do alot of work with concrete, a cement mixer is totally worth it! The amount of time and energy spent is definitely worth $300. And actually, that goes with any kind of tool that you're going to be using for a long period of time. We've been replacing all the fence on our property and renting an auger for the whole day is like $89 at HD but buying one is just a little over $200 and I get to work at my own pace ... so it's a no-brainer. But we're glad you enjoyed the video. Remember that the Walk Maker comes in different styles, if County Stone (the one that we have in our garden) is not for you, there's a few other styles that Quikrete makes that we have in links to in the description below. Also, be sure to follow-up video, which is a Q&A from viewers like you - I think you'll find it very helpful: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html . Also, when we re-did Garden East last year, we made a video showing how to re-use existing stones: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html . If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
@@jdgardensnj4563 Thank you for your response, i am also replacing fence posts as well and an auger would do wonders but that was always my hesitation when looking to rent, making sure i get it back on time. Purchasing would be a much better idea. Also thank you for recommending the additional videos, ill be watching those now! Keep up the great work and very informative videos, im a first timer at every single DIY project i do and these videos make it so much easier to have the confidence to tackle projects.
You guys were great. Ive been dying to do this but im always selling my house and jumping around.. SOON REAL SOON I TOO WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL Walkway. U guys showed it can be done.. 2 of you impressive
Hi @mich06969 . Thank you for the comment and thank you so much for the compliment. We tried to make the video as comprehensive as possible. If you like that video, you might like the Follow-Up video which is a Q&A video from viewers like you. you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.htmlsi=vTfUdxVC2ilLsYlB . Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking about. You know I'm an out-of-shape sixty-year-old but this is perfect. I could just do a few bags and then take a nap and then a do a few more bags. Lol
Thanks. I plan on installing above ground pool. Trying to do everything inexpensively but nice. Thanks again. This would be great as a walkway around the pool.
Hi Doron: Your message made us both laugh. :-) Those 80 lb bags do take a toll on the bones. But like anything, after you do a few of them, you kind of build up your own rhythm and it becomes easier. As far as using the WalkMaker around your pool, be sure to use a concrete with more Portland and less aggregate. You'll want to make the top as smooth as possible so it will be easier on bare feet, as people get out of the pool. Just take your time and tap down any aggregate that's too close to the surface the way Jackie showed in the video. Hope it comes out great - be sure to let us know how it goes. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
@@jdgardensnj4563 lol. It definitely is good exercise. Thanks For the advise. I was hoping you were going to comment. I will definitely let you know.
We just moved to Florida. We are just trying to figure out a design of things.
Now I'm looking into screens how to develop a screen around the pool and walkway. It's not going to happen for a while but I'll send you a link to when I finish. I better do this before the grandkids get too old. Lol
Your prep I on the money, and the final outcome shows!
Hello Christine: Thanks for the compliment - so glad you enjoyed the video. Prep is the key to everything! Since we made this video a year ago, we've changed Garden East and re-used the stone pathway, you can check out that video: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html and see what the garden looks like now.
Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Hello Daughter of Ms DIY! I’ve🖤heard of this and it works well!
Thank you for the tip!!! Have a nice summer🙂
Hi Valerie: Thanks for the compliment - we're glad you enjoyed the video. DIY rules!!! :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Wow I really like that cement walkway, thank you for giving me that idea 💡. I am however concerned about you inhaling the dust from that cement, inhaling that over time can cause emphysema or other respiratory condition, do you know that is why chalk boards were replaced, the dust from the chalk board was causing respiratory problems as well as triggering asthma. So please wear a mask when mixing cement, we want you around for a long, long time.😜😃
Hi Halceon. I'm glad we were able to inspire you. Don't worry, we get that comment alot. Dan actually wears a mask whenever he mixes concrete but he didn't for this video because you wouldn't be able to understand him with it on. lol :-p We appreciate your concern - I want him around for a long long time too. :-) Thanks for watching!
I love the hasta in the planters. Very pretty
I have been trying to figure out what to do over on the side of my house, and after watching your program, I have figured it out. I want to thank you so much because I'm gonna follow what you have created
Hi Sue: Thanks for the comment. The Walk Maker is a great DIY project! Remember, there are different patterns if Country Stone (what we show in the video) is not for you. We have links to all the different patterns in the video Details. Also, be sure to check out our Follow-Up video, which was a Q&A by viewers like you: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html
Also, another good video that will help you is when we re-did Garden East using the same pavers: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html

Thank you so much - that's very sweet. We will also be doing a Q&A video for people who have left comments/questions ... so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for watching!
Thank you all for the details
Hi Annie: You're very welcome. We try our hardest to as informative as possible. We just re-did Garden East and we'll be posting a new video this week on Reusing Existing Quikrete Pathmaker stones - so keep an eye out for that. Thank you so much for watching! Jackie and Dan
this turned out so beautiful
Hi EveRadio W4RAE: Thank you so much for the compliment. It really was a fun project ... alot of work but FUN. If you want to see what the garden looks like, with all the matured plants, you can check out our Walk Through video that we did last year: ruclips.net/video/hO3LtC1_Jik/видео.html
Also, we just re-did Garden East this year so you can check out how we re-use the paver stones: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html

Very beautiful garden very nicely set up. I like the fence around it. I like the beds on the center. It’s so beautiful. Thanks a lot. Re
Hi Bhalla Sons . Thanks for the compliments. We put alot into Garden East - thank you so much and thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
I really like the fact that you used the top soil! The look is more eye pleasing! Can't wait to start my project! Thx!
Hey Phenomenal ;-) Glad you enjoyed it. The top soil helps it look a little more natural even as the pattern repeats itself. Best of luck with your project. We made a follow-up video where we answer some viewer questions, so you might want to take a look at that. Let us know how you did with your project and post some pics. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this tutorial very much. Thanks much!

Hi Alexis: Thank you so much for the compliment. We're glad you enjoyed the video. If you like that video, we made a follow-up video that was a Q&A from viewers like you. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html . Also, last year we redid the planter beds in Garden East and had to change the path around but we reused the existing stones. You might want to check that video out too: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html . We'll also probably be doing another video this year showing how to turn corners and make curves with the Walk Maker so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
@@jdgardensnj4563 thank you! I'm looking forward to learning how to do curves! :)
Love that country stone path look!

Beautiful job!!
Hey Rocio. Thank you so much for your comment. Those pavers can help spruce up a garden. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Great job Sir. Very informative and I am buying my mixer. You do a wonderful job explaining your process.
Hi Michael: Thanks for the comment. Yes, if you do alot of concrete work, a cement mixer is a MUST. I've had mine for about 15 yrs and it's still going strong. I was just using it all summer, replacing all the fence posts in my backyard...we're talking over 50 bags. If you're thinking of using the WalkMaker, it will definitely be a time-saver. If you have any questions on using the WalkMaker, feel free to reach out again and check out the follow-up video to this one, if you haven't already seen it: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html . Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Looks wonderful! ❤😊
Hi Patty: Thank you for the compliment. We plan on expanding on the Walk Maker by making a few more videos focusing more on leveling, directions of the stones, etc. Keep an eye out for them. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
I love decorative walkways.
Hi gerilynne1955: They DO make a garden, don't they! Thank you so much for watching! Jackie and Dan
Još nisam gledala bolji video. Bravo. Ti si mislio na sve u ovom videu. Čak i na odjeću da nemamo opekotine na kraju dana. Josjednom bravo.
Hola Dana. Gracias por sus amables palabras. Nos esforzamos por hacer que nuestros videos sean lo más informativos posible. Sí, definitivamente quieres tener cuidado con la quemadura de concreto, que molestó a Dan durante semanas. ¡Gracias por verlo! Jackie and Dan
Thanx a million for a very informative presentation! 😎
Hi Tricia. Thank you very much - that's very kind of you. We try to make our videos as comprehensive as possible. We also made a new Q&A video for the Stone Pathway. Be sure to check it out: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html
Thanks for watching!
Lovely, excellent project and beautiful presetation. Keep it up, you lovely couple.
Hi dilazak3 . Thanks for the comment. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - we've actually been out of the country for the past few weeks. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi Gail. Thank you so much for the compliment. Using regular pavers are nice but using something like the Quikrete WalkMaker does add something to a garden. :-) Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Great video! I'm working up to getting this done in my back yard! appreciate the detailed instructions!! p.s. your garden is beautiful!! Greetings from Texas!
Hi @texasbella576: Thanks for the comment & thanks for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed the video. It really is a great DIY project.

Hi Fantastic Family, it's a great DIY project. Make sure you have the whole family help you with it ;-) Best of luck on your project. Thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
Just me &. my two dogs 🐕 🐶.
Thank you 😊
This is a great video!!! I bought stamps a year ago and have been scared to attempt the project. This video is so informative and gives me the confidence to go ahead and do it. Thank you!!!
Hi @nikkidee0411: Thanks for the comment. Yes, it really is a great DIY project. But we noticed in your comment, that you said "stamp". A stamp for concrete is different than a mold or template. The Walk Maker mold is something that you pour concrete into and it creates individual stones, like pavers. A stamp is something that you press down into an already poured body of concrete that will just leave an impression on the surface. Either one are great options but there is a difference in the process. I hope this made sense - if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
This was awesome!!! Thank you !!
Hi Michael. Thanks for the compliment. We're glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I live in England uk and the size of my house is the size of ur garden. Ur area looks so clean and nice, I live in a dump compared to u. Weeds are our flowers.
Hi Devi. LOL, your comment made us laugh :-) It is alot of work making/keeping it nice. But we're glad you're enjoying it across the pond. ;-) Thanks for watching. Jackie & Dan
The weed that will grow between each joint will keep you busy for the entire life 😅
This is a great informative video thanks for all the details 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Demetra. You're very welcome. Make sure to watch the Follow-Up video to this one, which is a Q&A. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html ... Thanks for watching!
Concrete takes wood stain really well, after its dry you can use different colors even diluted to mimic flagstone colors.
Yes, this is so good. Thanks for all the details. I'm going to find one of those templates and do this. Probably need to buy a cement mixer.
Hi Michael. Thanks for compliment. Try it, we really think you'll like how it comes out. We left a link to the form below. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video. It looks awesome

How do you do a curving path?
I have done this before at a previous home. It is a lot of work but no more than doing expensive detail oriented pavers. The beauty is once you have the form, you can do it in bite size sections like you did to make it really budget friendly when you don’t have the cash to buy it all in one whack.
Hi D. Absolutely! It's a total DIY project, at your own pace and no expensive contractors or equipment to rent. Just a fair amount of sweat equity. ;-) Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! Jackie & Dan
Great informative video. I'll be doing this project this summer. I agree with you regarding the polymeric sand washing out the individual stones. I'm considering using dirt as well then spreading "walkable" seeds such as Irish Moss or Corsican Mint.
Hi Derek: Glad you enjoyed the video. It's a great DIY project. If the look works for your garden, any kind of moss would look excellent. When you're done with the project, send us some pictures of FaceBook - we'd love to see them. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Moss joints would be incredible. Its going to want clean air to grow well though. If you live countryside itll work, cityscape it wouldnt very well.
This is the comment I was looking for. I’m in the south and building my walkway in full sun. I’m going to use creeping thyme.
Hey, you guys did that, Beau~Ty~Full! I was wondering how the stonen will hold up after 10 years from now, and you had that already in your video, thanks! Good job, plus your commentary gives the diy job real confidence. Now, I'm excited and encouraged about doing my house wrap~a~round walkway, much love!
Hi Jou. Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad that the video is giving you some confidence. It really is a great DiY project. The only real hard part is mixing those 80 lbs of concrete but Thank God i have Dan to handle that. Just make sure that your good gloves to protect your hands. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Without weed mats etc. I was also wondering about the longevity, does look great.
My parents did this when they had their house built to make the back patio bigger. That was 25 years ago and it still looks awesome!
Pretty job😎

I'm a bit late finding this but wanted to say I love the attention to details you touched on. I made one of these about 10 yrs. ago and boy did i make a lot of mistakes. Getting ready to make another one but armed with a lot more knowledge this time around.
😉
Hi TheAggressers: Glad you enjoyed the video. Once you get the hang of it, you'll be a pro. And if this video helped you, be sure to check out our follow-up, which was a Q&A: ruclips.net/video/B_KhPoNfRU4/видео.html and we have another video when we re-did Garden East and did alot of work with the Walk Maker. I think you'll enjoy it and will find it informative: ruclips.net/video/aWTEBTSUNJA/видео.html. Good luck with your projects. Thanks for watching! Jackie and Dan
Just curious. What were the mistakes? I've got the forms and maybe you can help me out?
What mistakes did you make?
