Making your yard look great doesn’t entail you wasting a load of money on decorations. Improving the design can be very easy if you think creatively. Let’s say you have a path from the front gate to the back of your yard, where you might have a working stone grill. You have two options on how to decorate this path; you can either put down slabs of natural stones, which will cost you some money but will make the yard look good. Or you could pour concrete and risk not to emulate any personality with this design. Before you make a decision, see what the concrete option can do with a little bit of creativity. The Cobblestone Template will help you create an impressive path that mimics a natural stone decor. Actually, you just have to pour concrete into the template, level it, remove and reuse it for another set of cobblestone. You could add liquid cement color to the mixture in order to make the final result look more like stones rather than concrete. Also, if you do have some stones in your yard, make the colors look somewhat similar. Leave the cement to harden and voila! The improved design is so great! Made by tootsietime.com
How can I get a cobblestone path template
Tony, you should be able to find the molds at either Lowes, or Home Depot. I did this years ago. You can do it with one mold, however I found it better to work with 2 molds.
Home Depot sells them as well as coloring.
quikrete walk-maker on line
Home Depot or Lowe’s sells them and the color, too
and I think they are only $17
Lowes or HomeDepot has them
I’ve seen these at either lowes or home depot
Underneath the write up about the product there are the words, “Pathmate Stone Mould” in blue. That’s the link to the site where you can buy the product. I’ve copied the link below also.

Where do we get the templates? Great article but not very informative
Click the link above to purchase the template. One of the reviews says Lowes carries them also.
Lowe’s has them on their website and in store about 15 dollars
Click the link at the bottom of the article. “Pathmate Stone Mold”
It’s a shame that you post something cool, but there is no way to view it because you have so many ads. You might go ahead and post a couple more ads then you wouldn’t be able to see it at all!
go to Lowes they are $15 each, Amozon they are $25
I want to purchase a template…what stores in California carry these.
Hit the pathmate stone mold in blue it a link $26

There is a link right under the article to purchase on smazon.
I’d be afraid of them cracking. Especially after a good winter. Freeze and thaw and then you step on 1. Crack!
i was thinking the same thing. I could probably manage but I would not attempt without some instruction ~ would be very frustrating to get in the middle of doing this and run into a problem, working with concrete. How do you keep it from sticking/drying to the mold.
Link is to Amazon. They are priced at $24. My local Home Depot has them for under $15.
Is there directions in how to do this. I have clicked on all the everywhere and it just goes to more ads
I have done this and live in MN. 3 years and still great.
Do you put more concrete in between the cracks of the cobblestone so water doesn’t seep in? Or is that necessary?
Thanks!
