Cobble Stone Path

Well spring has arrived at our new home and that means time to pay attention to the yard.  I came across these concrete forms at Lowe's and thought they would look great in front of our gate.  When my husband took the project and ran with it...well...I couldn't stop him right?


Step #1: We decided where to place the concrete and then removed the grass.



Step #2:  We then placed the form to plan out the design and where the concrete should be placed.

Step #3: Mix a bag of concrete with water.

Step #4: We added some dark color to match our existing rocks.  One bottle is enough for two bags of concrete.

Step #5:  Place the concrete inside the frame and make sure there aren't any air pockets. 

Step #6:  Smooth it and put extra concrete back into the bucket.

Step #7:  After lifting the frame, round the stones so it resembles a natural looking rock.

And there you have it...beautiful cobble stone!  (i did help a little bit)
