That looks so nice.

Here are a couple quick pictures of my efforts

I really like the change in texture, very appealing to the eye.

We used this same form to paint the stone look to our concrete basement floors. Kids all the cracks from being 100 years old.

We moved into our house 11 years ago and this cobblestone stamp was our walkway in the backyard for 7 years until the weeds actually pushed themselves between the stones and covered the entire walk way. My husband and I had to use the weed-eater every week in the summer. I am not someone who uses roundup because we have dogs who use this space so we had to tear it out and use a traditional concrete walkway. It was pretty though and if you have it in a shaded area and live in the right climate, moss between the stones would be gorgeous!

I just bought these forms last year. I haven't used them yet. Can't wait for spring to do a walkway in my backyard with them. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love it! We seem to have "corners" that won't grow aas people cut across to walkway. This would solve it!

I thought about flipping the mold over and painting the shapes onto my concrete patio...what do you think?

I like that idea Debi, I might have to steal that idea. If you do that take a pic and load it. I'd like to see that. We did the walkway with concrete but, if you sweep crusher dust in between it will prevent weeds or grass from creeping in.

Springtime is coming...might just have to do it...after all...I can always paint over it if I don't like it right?

I have the perfect spot where I've always wanted a garden path and I really like what you did. I'm laying out an English garden and this is perfect for the look. I will definitely do this this Spring. Thanks for sharing.

I have one of those forms in the barn. I just built raised beds in our side garden. Was wondering what to do for the walkway between as it gets really soupy out there. This will be perfect! We are to dry for moss but there is a lot of "treadables" out there that will gave the same look but doesn't mind being walked on. Thanks for sharing your photos!

To anyone having problems with weeds they do sell the granulars that you can sweep into the cracks and and water and it hardens like concrete Under $10 a bag at you local home improvement stores. Then if over years weeds pop up no need for "Round UP" use "VINEGAR" it kills everything just like roundup for a fraction of the cost and wont hurt animals AWESOME

Re weeds between the cracks: Boiling water kills plants too. Just pour it on. So does salt, or vinegar. No need for chemicals that will hurt your animals, or the worms, or the birds. The use of Round Up, I need to add results in the growth of resistant weeds over time.

I've used this twice for paths and it couldn't be easier and the price is VERY good. And it looks nice, too.

wow, i had no idea about the vinegar killing weeds....lot cheaper than round up!! we have pavers and ants come up with little mounds of soil.....any ideas on that one?

Turing it over and tracing the shapes onto the concrete is what we did to our basement. I live in a 125 year old church where there were lots of cracks in the basement floor. This made for a great camo of those cracks. Everyone has loved th look.

I use cornstarch to kill the ants. Just pour some on the ant hills. It works.

You can also put down the landscaping fabric begore laying your pavers to keep the weeds out. Some people use newspaper.

Amy, You seem to be pretty knowledgeable. Any ideas on how to get Moss to grow in the cracks of the cobblestone? I think it would just set it off that much more. I have the pattern (form) and hope to use it soon. Baking soda helps the concrete to dry faster I believe I will have to start writing down all those neat little helps so I can post them on here. . Thanks for the post-photos Camie Jenkins

I don't know much about moss but want to do the same. Check out this website. The person with the nickname Mosswich gives good info on how to grow moss: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cryp...

be careful when using vinegar. it does kill grass.

i was at Lowes and found a mat that you can lay pavers on instead of using sand. I think you could probably use it for the cobblestone project above as well. The mat is called
