We will remove and dispose of any existing edging that you have. We will spray paint to mark our lines. You have design flexibility with widening out areas to create more definition or make it easier for you to mow. We will use a bed edger to prep a trench where the curb will be laid along the spray paint lines. We will hand mix the concrete and add color. The concrete is poured into an extruding machine that pushes it in out into one long continuous curb along with steel cable to reinforce it. We will trowel the curb to fill in any air pockets and cut expansion joints which helps prevent cracking in cold temperatures. Depending on your choice of curb we may add additional color and then create the style you want, whether it's a pattern or hand-carved natural stone. About 1 week after curb installation, we will come back and seal the curb with a sealant. We wait about a week to allow time for the concrete to properly cure. The sealant provides a protectant barrier to seal in the color and keep it looking fresh. We recommend sealing once every 2 years to keep the curb looking great without fading.
