Description

I spent 30 years pouring concrete across West Texas and New Mexico, but this simple, old-fashioned method can turn cheap bagged sand into a hard, solid walkway for about $1 per square foot—no pavers, mixer, forms, or concrete truck required. In this video, I show you how I build a durable path over that muddy strip between the house and shed in a single weekend. I also explain why expensive paver walkways can heave and sink, how to prepare the ground, and how a traditional liquid finish helps harden the surface like a warehouse floor. #DIYWalkway #BudgetDIY #HomeImprovement #Landscaping #Masonry #WeekendProject
