Common Questions
What Is Concrete Curbing?
It is the installation of curbing, edging, or walls that are made from mixed concrete. It can be formed into simple shapes or complex designs like circles, curves, and options like stairs, landings, etc.
The concrete edging pieces can be molded into a decorative shape and texture to complement surrounding features.
Concrete curbing can also be used as an accent piece to highlight, improve, and make the design of the landscape stand out and look more attractive and appealing. This versatile product is great for creating custom borders for both residential and commercial applications. They offer support to fill materials like mulch, compost, or grass seed.
What Makes Concrete Edging different from Brick, Wood, or Stone?
Concrete has more variety in color while offering a wide range of styles and finishes, while brick, wood, and stone offer some style options but limited color choices. Concrete also requires less maintenance than brick or stone. When it comes to durability, it is more durable than wood.
When properly stained or treated with penetrating sealers, it will last longer than bricks, wood, or stones, which will eventually need to be replaced.
How Much Space Will You Need?
The amount of space you will need depends on the type and style of landscape curbing and your overall design and landscaping plans. However, as a very rough estimate, the curbing is about 6 inches wide. Plan for that width and the length is according to your needs.
If you’re not sure where to begin, contact us for assistance on planning out your yard or garden borders.
We can also help measure the dimensions needed, especially if your plan involves curves or angled borders that require additional math skills (or larger measuring tape). A good rule of thumb is to allow a foot of space on either side of the landscape curbing for maintenance and aesthetic purposes.
How Are Concrete Curbs Installed?
We can provide a more detailed step-by-step process on how we install concrete border edges. But here’s an overview.
Usually, after the area has been prepared (typically this includes removing sod, compacting soil, adding base soil if needed, and taking care of tree surrounds), curbing is laid using specialized curbing equipment.
Any curved concrete curbs require coping blocks during the installation process so that they don’t stick out beyond the curve of your edge once it’s finished. Concrete landscape curbing can also be installed below ground level with steps built in if desired.
What are the Benefits of Decorative Concrete Curbing or Edging?
Why do a growing number of homeowners and businesses love landscape curbing or edging? Here are some of its benefits:
Customization
We offer a wide range of colors and styles. This means that you can choose the color and style that will work best in your landscape and maintain the design and appearance throughout all elements (such as different seasons).
Easy Maintenance
There is virtually no ongoing maintenance required when using concrete landscape curbing. All it requires is an occasional sweep with the broom or light pressure washer to remove debris like leaves that stick to its surfaces.
It also doesn’t require power washing every season to avoid damage. Plus, if you use a penetrating sealer, it can last for years without comprehensive treatments.
Economical
Compared to stone or brick, decorative concrete curbing is less expensive due to the fewer materials needed for installation. Industrial-grade concrete landscapes are also affordable. You can also save more money in the long run since they don’t demand extensive maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly
Decorative concrete curbing uses natural raw materials and produces very little waste.
Mold and Mildew Resistant
We apply sealers on our colored concrete decorative curbing projects. This way, it won’t retain water, especially during rainstorms or winter.
Water can give mold and mildew a place to grow. This means you can avoid hours of scrubbing and costly treatments each year compared to wood borders and entryways.
Durability
Decorative concrete curbing is incredibly strong due to its dense composition, which is mixed with materials like sand. It’s designed for heavy wear while still maintaining the look you want.
Decorative Concrete Curbing Styles and Colors
One of the things we love about decorative curbing is you can play around with many things, such as textures, patterns, styles, and colors. You can even add beautiful curbing stamps.
Some of the best-sellers include:
-
- Bricks, concrete which is colored and molded to resemble brick
- Casts, which are molded to resemble stone and can be designed for specific areas such as corners and curves
- Stacked flagstone, which can look like natural stacked stone but manufactured to precise sizes that fit together perfectly
Concrete landscape curbing comes in a wide range of styles from simple square edges to more ornate edging. You can choose from traditional styles to more modern choices, which have clean lines and sharp edges.
In addition to choosing from a brick style, you can also select a much larger stone pattern or natural stone curbing. It gives a unique smooth look that’s sure to impress any visitors who may wander through the yard or garden of homeowners.
For those who want their homes to stand out even more, there are specialty edging shapes like rounded squares and various ovals that create unique borders that are just as strong and durable as they are decorative.
