If you have existing grass it will not be effected by our machines. The grass in the areas the curb will be laid is sod cut and a 12-inch swathe of sod is removed. Outside that area the grass remains the same. We transfer the concrete using a Piledriver/wheelbarrow, which have large turf tires and don’t tear up the grass.

We use 1/8th inch Galvanized Cable in all our curbing. This will help keep the curb together at the control joints and at any cracks that may occur. Curbing is a concrete product and if a curbing company says their curbing never cracks they are simply not telling the truth. We have very minimal cracks as we use the correct ratios and techniques when it comes to mixing concrete and finishing. Spider cracks can occur in concrete and must not be mixed up with separation. You must remember that cracks can and will occur in concrete. Many factors contribute to this including materials, layouts, and temps. The main issues with landscape curbing are extreme angles, inclines, and declines. You must realize that a curbing machine weighs approx. 210 lbs. so getting enough compression is extremely difficult in these situations. Cracks are concrete issues, they can and will happen. Cracks that are over 1/4 wide on level ground are an issue with operator error or lack of compaction, these cracks will be covered under warranty. Cracks in all other situations are not. We put the control joints closer to relieve stress, but cracks can occur, they are a fact of concrete life. We are dealing with moving concrete.

You have several options with curbing. There are many different sizes, styles, and shapes. Curb can be colored and or colored and stamped. We offer Smooth finish(no stamp), Roller Patterns, Handstamp Deep Impressions. Curbing can also be made to look like stone with our new carving techniques. Multi-colored with different antique releases.

For sure! Smooth flowing lines and curves are the very best look you can get. Straight lines and corners aren’t as aesthetically pleasing as flowing curves. You also can’t get proper drainage with them. Realize that a 210 lb machine is laying your curb, it’s constantly moving so straight lines will NEVER be absolutely straight even when following a string line. You want the curb around your house to flow so it’s easy to mow and you don’t have to stop. You want it to transition cleanly to the next. Flow is extremely important and it’s the first thing you see when someone drives by.

Our warranty on curbing is a 2 years workmanship warranty. Because this type of concrete cures so fast any issues you will have will commonly occur in the first 24 hours. Spider cracks are a concrete issue that can and may occur. Do we ever have issues with them? NO, but you need to be aware. If a crack forms and it’s more than a 1/4-inch-wide, it is operator error and will be fixed. Cracks that occur due to vehicles, heavy mowers, natural occurrences such as tree roots, ground heaving, etc. will not. Common sense really comes into play, when a car drives on landscape curb it’s prob not going to hold up. It mainly depends on the ground underneath. Spider Cracks are a fact of life in concrete and may occur in certain situations.
