Introducing Curb Appeal
What is it?
Concrete curbing provides a beautiful border for your landscaping and driveway at your home or business. Curb Appeal is a continuous concrete landscape border extruded from our exclusive machine.
What are the benefits?
Decorative and functional, concrete cubing/edging is an attractive, durable investment for your home or business. You can add value to your home or business overnight.
- Line your driveway, sidewalk or patio with a distinguished pattern.
- Border your lawn with impressions to separate walkways and landscaped areas.
- Encircle children's playgrounds so there's a designated area for toys.
- Reduce yard work and control stubborn areas around your lawn.
- Create a mower edge to give your lawn a highly manicured look.
The Process
First, the edging site is prepared. Ground preparation is very important in achieving a professional looking finish. A channel to accommodate the edging machine is made around the landscaping area and is cleared using a sod cutter. Final ground preparation is completed using shovels and hand tools.
Next, concrete is prepared in a mortar mixer. Sand, concrete, fiber mesh and water are mixed to optimal consistency. Colour additives can be added to the mixture to increase the versatility and beauty of the final product.
After the edging is laid, impressions are made using carious stamping tools. Stress relieving control joints are made to reduce cracking due to subtle ground settling over time. Other colouring techniques can be done at this time.
The edging should be sealed every two years to maintain its beautiful appearance.
