TUFFBLOCK
Sam from Modern Design Landscapes shows us how he used TuffBlock, a floating foundation deck block, to build a curved walkway to the front of this house.
As a professional landscaper, time is a huge factor for Sam and TuffBlocks allowed him to save days on this garden path build by removing the need for mixing concrete, digging holes and using heavy machinery.
Not only that, but TuffBlock allowed him to build on the fly and adjust his plan slightly as he went which was extremely important for a winding walkway like this where Sam had to combat tree roots and sloping ground.

Build On!
This turned out great! Nice work
Love the look of this. Never thought of using it in a walkway before…have to give this a crack!
What size were those joists?
This is great!
Love the look on the deck! How long does it take to build?
Awesome build! is it plug and play?
Awesome build! Love that the deck fits perfectly without touching the roots!
Simple and Elegant! I'm sold!
👍
Damn. Here in the US we’ve been using these similar looking cinderblock versions of these for a lonnnnnnng time. These look MUCH easier on the truck to haul in 😂
looks great! too bad the frame is pine as it will rot in a couple years. should have used hardwood or gal steel boys.
I've been thinking about doing this for some time now.
After watching your video I have made my decision.
Starting late winter I will build it.
Love it! We also love the recycled plastic concept. We have watched this multiple times now and poured over your website FAQ etc. Just bought tuffblocks for our own walkway project along old oak with precious roots to preserve…this sample project LOOKS to have some elevation change, but it’s not explicitly detailed in video. We have a 4degree slope (7” drop over 9’ distance, to a sloped sidewalk at the end—i.e., kind of a twist at the end) and are puzzling over how best to design it . Is this something that your 24/7 help line can assist with? Happy to provide pix or measurements to whomever (or to be your next walkway feature video project!)
Needed to talk about how much clearance to the ground is needed and why. The joist protection deserved a moment more explanation.
Advice as to the type and grade of timber would make it all possible. Nice job.
Wonderful! Hey, this is from Family Handyman we are really interested in your video and want to partner with you. Please contact us back so we can discuss more. Thank you
