Frequently
Asked Questions
1. Are forms set to do concrete landscape
curbing?
No, a machine that extrudes the concrete
into a continuous concrete border
is used.
2. How long does the process take?
Depending on the type and footage
of the installation, it normally takes
only 1 day.
3. Do you use reinforcement in your
curbing?
Yes, reinforced fibers are used in
the curbing to provide a 3-dimensional
support system throughout your curbing.
4. Will the curbing break?
All concrete will crack. To control
cracking control joints every 24-36
inches are placed to allow your curbing
to expand.
5. How will replacing my existing
edging with curbing effect my landscaping?
The installer will remove the existing
edging, and cut a 9" wide strip
of sod away from the outside edge
of your existing landscaping. This
will allow them to extrude the curb
against your current edge. If you
have any sprinkler heads on the outside
of your existing landscape edge, they
will need to be moved (which can be
priced and done by the installer in
most cases). If they are inside your
edging they will not be affected by
the curbing installation process.
6. Will I be able to mow up against
my curbing?
Your curbing will be as strong as
3000psi and will with stand your mowers
weight to ride along the edge of the
curbing. The blades of your mower
will not damage your curbing, and
will allow you to mow right up against
it, resulting in less time spent weed
eating around your landscaped areas.
7. Can Anyone install this curbing?
Unlike other landscape installations,
your curbing is extruded and formed
onsite; Therefore, you are not buying
a product but a service as the curbing
does not come in blocks. We also like
to think of it as a work of art. We
take into consideration the shapes
and contours of the design. As the
old saying goes, "You Get What
You Pay For!" It definitely applies
to this trade. We recommend that you
do your homework and see visual examples
of the work performed by landscape
curbing companies.
