Are you looking for a fast way and easy way to add value to your home or accent your garden with a professional and appealing up up up walkway or patio? Or decorate any unsightly spots of your yard? Now you can forget the lawn mower and modernize your entire yard or garden in just a few easy steps when you diy. The results are simply amazing. Your friends and neighbors will certainly be taken back by what you can design and achieve using this simple lightweight concrete mold.
In the past I have heard of some using picture frames in place of a concrete mold to cut corners, however there is more to depth with this lightweight concrete mold and will cost you about the same if not less than a large partitioned picture frame whereas most standard concrete molds have the two inch depth rather than the standard inch or half inch an average large family picture frame would hold. Using a large picture frame may also split and break as most are made from wood or metal. A plastic concrete mold is durable and can be reused over and over again.
Concrete frame molds are a great way to accent your garden, walkways, courtyards, terraces and etc. There are no special skills involved when you diy and takes minutes to complete. A 2' x 2' concrete mold, as demonstrated in the photos will use one 80 pound bag of concrete mixed with water. A bag of concrete can cost anywhere between $2.00- $4.00, depending upon how it is purchased, either by bag or in bulk. It is best to measure the area, design and plan a accordingly prior to starting your project to determine how many bags of concrete you will need to complete this project.
Most places such as Home Depot or Lowes home improvement stores carry concrete in a variety of colors to use with your mold and to blend with the features of your home yard or garden. Depending on the results you are trying to achieve, with the right finish paint, you can also paint your finished landscape design, creating a more vibrant, colorful finish.
