GeckoStone: Tessellating Concrete Paver Molds

If you have plans to build your own patio or walkway using bricks or pavers, be certain to check out GeckoStone's tessellated, interlocking concrete paver molds. The Do It Yourself concrete molds are available in 4 different patterns, including the GeckoStone shape shown above which appears to be definitely "inspired by" the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher...

 
 

1 GeckoStone
2 Hexacon Concentrex
3 Hexacon Interplexus
4 FrogRock

Depending on the particular model shape, the polyurethane concrete molds range in price from $55 - $80 each (their is a discount for larger orders). Each mold comes complete with instructions on casting, coloring, curing, and installation of the concrete pavers. The site says "No prior experience is necessary."

Would you use GeckoStone's in your garden?

This makes me want to have a patio I can repave. I think the gecko pattern would be *amazing* as a backyard patio.

Though the edges look raised and thin...I would worry that it would crumble pretty quickly.

If I had a garden, I would LOVE this. It makes me want to buy this for my folks and MAKE them put it in theirs, since they DO have one.

Now all you need is an upside down staircase to match the flooring.

They used the gecko one for the floor in the snake room in the movie A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I love those patterns they have a little bit of steampunk which is great.

I love these!

I like it when concrete doesn't try to look like something else. (like bricks)
