2 year update of a patio I built using the Quikcrete Walk Maker country stone form to make a 133 sqft patio. Stained the concrete using Eagle acid stain, and sealed it with Behr wet-look sealer. Project cost around $500.

Thank you for the update! Looks fantastic and thank you for sharing what mistakes you made along the way and how you corrected them. Not many do and we need to see that as well as the finished product. 🙌👍👍👍

Super helpful to see this update. Your original video is what inspired us to use this system and we're 2/3 of the way done with the patio and path at this point. Thanks!

Great to see this update. I see that I could do this by myself. Also an affordable solution to my yard. Thanks so much. 😉👍❤

there are products where you spray it on your roof and over time it prevents algae, I would imagine you could use that for the walkway. We used wet & forget, but there are other products that do the same (just different names that I don't remember). It did work great on our roof.

Nice to have an update. But without a border on two of the four sides and only 57 under them, I knew this wasn't going to last long. Need a border on all 4 sides of paver area and you should have use stone dust on top of the 57 to lock and seal the 57. The problem you are having is 100% due to water.

I agree, I think the boarder would have helped hold it together better. I was hoping there would be enough support on the lawn side to help hold it in without creating a tripping hazard. I hasn't shifted enough to make me want to tear it out, but I would like to see what it looks like when I redo the sand.

Would you recommend resealing yearly to avoid the fading? Thanks

@KiefferProjects Жыл бұрын

Absolutely, especially if use the cheap stuff like I did.

If you could travel back in time knowing how its gonna look 2 years later, would you do it all over again?? Or would you opt for actual pavers or concrete slab??

@ulrichwillems6072 Жыл бұрын

Pavers also fade out without proper maintenance/treatement. Concrete slabs will also get dirty/blackish over time. The solution is to have regular maintenance.

I'm not afraid of doing some maintenance every year or two, so for the money, I'm happy with it. A slab would be a one and done, but I wasn't a fan of the expense. I think pavers would have given me similar result to what I have.

I often wanted to do this same exact project but I was grappling between doing jointing sand or what I thought after the concrete was stained maybe instead of jointing sand sweeping in dry concrete and then wetting it down and after it’s dry then sealing over the entire project a couple times. Do you think that would hold up any better?

@KiefferProjects 4 ай бұрын

I don't think it's a bad idea. However, I wonder if the joints would crack after a winter of heaving. I'm blowing mine out this year and trying joining sand again. I think it might finally settle out now by year 3.

It appears each individual paver is still in good shape? None broken?

@KiefferProjects Ай бұрын

Yeah, the concrete is holding up just fine. I just wish I had anchored the perimeter better so some of them wouldn't have moved a bit.

@tkmad7470 Жыл бұрын

What would you have used instead of the locking sand, if anything?

@KiefferProjects Ай бұрын

I think the sand is still way to go. I should have made a better border to prevent the stones from moving a bit. I'm pretty sure this pulled on the sand and caused it to fail.
