The Quikrete Walk Maker is a concrete mold that makes it very simple to create your own DIY concrete pavers for a patio or path. We used the country stone pattern to create a patio in our backyard. Here are the basic instructions on how to use the Quikrete Walk Maker concrete molds.

Quikrete Walk Maker Instructions
- Always wear eye protection + a mask when dealing with concrete.
- Level the surface where the walk maker will go. Remove grass and clear the area.
- Place the walk maker mold on the ground and make level. Starting in a corner is easiest.
- Mix one bag of Quikrete concrete in a bucket or wheel barrel according to directions on the bag.
Get tips on how much concrete we used for each Walk Maker mold - Use a shovel to scoop concrete into the Walk Maker mold. Be sure to press Quikrete deep into the corners to fill the mold completely.
- Use your shovel edge to smooth the top of each section of the mold and bevel the edge, if desired.
- Remove the Walk Maker form by lifting on the little tabs on each side.
- Rotate the mold a quarter turn, place it on the ground, and repeat until you are finished.
- Once dry, you can fill the gaps with polymeric sand for a more finished look.

When do i remove mold from concrete when wet or dry so if wet would go fast
Sean says
Hi Jeff - You definitely remove the mold while the quikrete is wet! If you watch our video, that should help to clarify the process.

What are some other options to use in between the cracks instead of the polymeric sand? Thank you for giving me courage to move ahead with this project. I’m determined to prove to him I can do just as good of a job as he can do.
Morgan says
Nicole - we have only every done the polymeric sand so I don't have any other examples of fillers for you. You can do it! This is a labor intensive but easy project, and doing it stone by stone means you can take breaks if you need to.
