I built this massive concrete cobblestone patio through out the course of three seasons using a concrete walkway maker.
You can build the same exact one and it is VERY doable! This is the form that I used (You will definitely need two if you want to move at a faster pace – otherwise with 1, it will take much longer)

I loved this vid so much I had to play it at 1/4 speed to really examine your work. Thanks so much.
What did you use to grout it cause im having a hard time finding the right one?
do you just add concrete and water? anything else?
7:08 WTF what is this?
Beautiful. What do you fill your joints with
holy shit man, that's amazing, earned a sub on this one. I've been wondering what to do about parts that don't match up, had an idea similar to yours but seeing yours in play sealed the deal, and good call on the dust, gonna keep that in mind. first project is going to be a 3 foot wide path to a bridge, but next year on the other side I'll have a nice patio space that wraps around the tumble stone fire pit I made this year, been looking for ideas to round out my thoughts and this fucking nailed it. and the concrete dicks were funny too lol. great stuff man!
Hey man, awesome work! I'm new to this but want to try it, is leveled top soil enough to help the cobblestone patio hold up for years? Also what grade slope did u implement from the house to the other end of the patio to facilitate rain water, etc drainage?
NIce job, I just would like to ask you – you used that mold straight on that dirt as it should be used – am I right? And what do you use those cast on wood for? Thank you.

You are a king. I have the same form and I am thinking the same about doing the exact same project under my deck. I plan to use this area for putting in a hot tub, or a shady area, etc since it is protected some from the elements / sun. It is about 30 feet by 14 feet and I was wondering about 2 things. 1st how many bags of quickrete would I need so I can budget the cost. 2nd how stable / durable is this? Will it settle with the hot tub? Thanks
I'm looking forward to tackling this in my back yard next summer. I'm wondering about using a concrete stamp after you take the mold off — to give the surface more of a rock look than just a flat top. I'd like your advice. Thanks for the video!
Tom,
How is this holding up. I plan to do the same. People didn't use the base and I wonder why you put base (gravel)? You don't need edging for this?
Hi Tom how long did it take you to do all the cobblestone?
So, I just started this project for our back yard the dogs have destroyed. We purchased the recommended 80# bags, but got the high strength version Quikrete. What type did you use, as there is so MUCH aggregate in the mix we have I can not get all of the mix into the mold and it is VERY rough…. Thanks in advance for any insight you may have. You have the BEST video out there.. and I have watched all that I could find.
Thanx for very useful ideas!
Great Job! I really like how you finished off the cobblestones at all of the straight surfaces. I'll be doing this project very soon at my home.
That looks great Tom! How did you apply the stone dust?
How long will this last in northern climates with freeze-thaw? How solid is it really? Can you move furniture or chairs on it?
Nice work!
Do you need gravel under this? I have a concrete floor that is all cracked, can i put directly on top of it?
Wow, it's really nice. Great job!!!
$8,000 Job, Looks Great..
Did you fill in the lines? I was told I could use sand to fill in the lines. Is that a good idea
You FREAKING KILLED THIS?! All in all how long did it take? I decided to take this route, instead of pavers. I felt I can do a little at a time with this method of paver mould.
How did you get the edge so roundsmooth?
An excellent job especially improvising around the difficult areas it looks very good well done mate
You the MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can this be used for a driveway to park my car? Is gravel A necessary base or can you just put the concrete right over level dirt.
