Designing with recycled concrete

Posted by Dervaes

Q How did you construct your recycled concrete patios and walkways? The circular shape of the concrete pieces creates such a nice flow – much different from standard pavers. Do you need a lot of masonry experience to make them?

A. We rented a jackhammer from a local building material store to break up the ~20'x~30' concrete slab into a variety of shapes and sizes. We were able to 'make' two sunflowers out of a couple of sections. We've had no formal masonry experience - just a "good eye" for design.
