  • 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.

    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. 😉👍❤

    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.

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

    Would you recommend resealing yearly to avoid the fading?
    Thanks

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

    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

      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.

    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??

      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.
