QUIKRETE® - WalkMaker® - European Block Pattern

I'm thinking about using this form. I have an area I'd like to make into a patio since the dogs trample the grass there anyway. Anyone used this form?

I used them when they came out like 15 years ago, so so results, I'd rather just lay the tiles, it's quicker and not much more money.

I have used them several times and like them. One 80# bag of concrete per form, coloring and an acrylic sealer make them look pretty good.

I live in/am buying a place that used the forms to lay a path, back in late 90's.

Take the time to do the ground prep: leveling, compacting, etc. Can't tell you how many times I've tripped over loose 'tiles' on the downhill side. Watch the rise/run: pretty sure mine is too steep by a couple feet, thus contributing to sloughed off outer 'tiles'. :whoops:

And don't use the pebblity post-setting stuff, unless you have tuff feet. Those pebbles hurt, and aren't much fun to shovel snow off of either!

That said, I've not chucked the form, intend to use it once I get past the 'terraforming' part of home-ownership in the mountains.
