At RockMolds.com we make fake rock walkways, artificial rock walls, rock driveways and rock edging etc. However we do not use composite material or plastic, we use a combination of concrete and Rock Molds to create beautiful and naturally appearing rock features. This is something you can do yourself, with a bit of instruction and the right concrete stamps for you project.

For example, if you would like to make a “Natural Stone” paver or stepping stone, you could use our Flagstone Traditional Texture (TT101). If you are making a tropical garden landscape and would like more organic, rustic looking lava rock with aggressive fault lines you should try the Lava Stone Texturing Skin (LS104) to make anything from stepping stones to lava walls and landscape edging.

(3) Apply a concrete releasing agent over the carved concrete. Lightly dust the entire surface with the stamping powder.

(4) Firmly press stamp onto surface of concrete, transferring the natural stone texture.  Use multiple stamps to avoid repetition.

(5) Continue stamping, overlapping as necessary and touching up seams between stamps. Stamp the sides of stone also.

(6) Let the stones cure a minimum 24 hours, then hose releasing agent off thoroughly.

(7) Apply color. Acid, alcohol, or water base concrete stains will all work. Check out your local concrete outlet for coloring options.
