I used a 2x2 ft plastic form that inter-locked the block together, as you
move the form. It gives a rock like look and you can color the bag of pre mixed
concrete if you like. It is some what time consuming , but the look, so I am
told looks great. You finish it off with sand or a small pea gravel between
the joints. Believe the form makes 8 or 9 rock like shapes

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Ideas about constructing sidewalk welcome.
Aloha from Sheryl,
I want to construct a sidewalk that goes around my house part of the
way. I want to stay with a period look 1920. I've priced pavors at
several stores including the local hardwear store and big box stores.
There is not a very good selection of any kind. I've thought of
concrete, interlocking pavors at $1.50 each but probably do not know
what options are available. The walkway will start at the bottom of
my deck stairs make a gentle circle toward the front of the house
pass the front steps making a line to the rental studio to keep from
having to walk in the mud. I am thinking of around sixteen inches
wide. Would appreciate any thoughts and ideas. I roughly figured I
would need about 800 pavors for the project more than I want to
spend. Be careful if you live where the weather is very cold and
snowy. I saw on the news and frankly it looks awful. Stay safe. Aloha Sheryl
