How long are the pieces and where do I buy them?

You can’t buy them. The breaks you see every 3’ are expansion/control joints. Every curb job is poured on site using our curbing machines. All designs and colors are different; please contact us for more details.

How long does the concrete curbing last?

The curbing will last many years with proper care and maintenance. We apply a commercial grade acrylic clear sealer to all colored and stamped curbs after installation. Sealing once a year will help assure a long and healthy life for your concrete border.

How deep do you dig and what type of base do you use?
We dig between 1-2 inches deep and about 10 inches wide using a sod cutter. This is done without damaging your landscape beds or shrubbery. We use the sod cutter to cut an even path along your landscape beds to ensure a level installation. We will sometimes add a small layer of topsoil or sand under the curb to ensure the level of the curb. If the ground should shift or settle in any way over time, the control joints help control the cracking.

What about the winter and ground movement?
What makes concrete curbing so attractive is the fact that its one continuous piece of concrete. Individual blocks or bricks will shift over time and in the winter. Our curbs are mixed with 

a fiber mesh reinforcement, which is designed to take the place of rebar or steel. We also install control joints every 3-4 feet, therefore if the ground moves, the curb will crack at these joints.
