Concrete Curbing for Clean, Lasting Edges

Plastic edging heaves out of the ground after a couple of winters and steel edging gets bent by the mower. Extruded concrete curbing is one continuous, solid border that keeps grass out of the beds and rock out of the lawn, and it makes the whole yard look finished.

  • Mower-edge, slant & block profiles
  • Natural, colored or stamped
  • Around beds, trees & walks
  • New yards & retrofits

How it’s made

Poured in Place, One Continuous Run

Landscape curbing isn’t set in pieces like pavers or block. A curbing machine extrudes a stiff concrete mix through a shaped form as it moves along the line, so the border comes out in one unbroken run that follows every curve you mark.

Layout first

We lay out the lines with paint or a hose with you, looking at mowing paths, sprinkler heads, and how wide beds need to be for the shrubs you plan to grow. Smooth, gradual curves look better and are easier to mow than tight wiggles.

A trench and a firm base

We cut a shallow trench along the line, remove the sod and loose soil, and tamp the bottom so the curb sits on undisturbed or compacted ground. Curbing laid on top of fluffy soil or fresh sod settles unevenly and cracks.

Extrude, finish and cut

The machine lays the curb, then we hand-finish the surface and edges. Before the concrete hardens, we cut control joints every few feet. Concrete shrinks as it cures and moves through freeze-thaw; those cuts make sure any cracking happens in a straight line inside the joint where you won’t notice it.

Cure and seal

Curbing stays protected while it cures. A sealer helps colored and stamped curbing keep its look and resist water and freeze-thaw, and it’s worth renewing every few years.

Styles

Curbing Profiles & Finishes

The shape of the curb changes how it looks and how it mows.

Most practical

Mower Edge

A flat lip on the lawn side lets one mower wheel ride the curb, so you can mow right to the edge and rarely need the trimmer.

Classic

Slant / Angle

A sloped face that sheds water and soil easily and suits most houses. Good for beds with bark that you want to contain.

Bold

Block / Square

Taller, squared-off profile that holds deeper rock beds and reads clean and modern next to straight walks.

Decorative

Color & Stamp

Integral color or a stamped brick, slate or stone pattern. Colors are mixed in, so they won’t chip off like paint.

Worth knowing

Curbing Tips From the Field

  • Install curbing before new sod or rock so everything finishes to the same grade
  • Pull spray heads back from the curb or switch to adjustable nozzles so water stays on the lawn
  • Keep the top of the curb just above the finished lawn so the mower wheel rides cleanly
  • Leave beds wide enough for shrubs at full size, not their size in the nursery pot
  • Avoid tight zigzags; gentle curves crack less and mow easier
  • Hold off on rock or bark until the curb has cured for a day or two
What to expect

Curbing Is Usually a One-Day Job

Mark the Lines

We lay out the curb with you, flag sprinkler heads and lines, and quote by the linear foot of the profile you choose.

Trench

Sod and loose soil are cut out along the line and the trench is tamped to a firm, even base.

Extrude & Finish

The curb is laid in one continuous run, finished by hand, stamped or colored if chosen, and joint-cut.

Cure & Fill

Keep traffic off for a day or two. Then beds can be filled with rock or bark and the lawn edge cleaned up.

FAQ

Common Questions

Will concrete curbing crack in our winters?
It can develop hairline cracks, which is why we cut control joints every few feet. A firm base, proper joints and a sealer keep cracking where it belongs and limit freeze-thaw damage.
Can you install curbing in an existing yard?
Yes. Most of our curbing goes into established yards. We trench through the lawn along the new line, and the sod edge knits back in within a few weeks.
Will curbing damage my sprinkler lines?
Not if they’re located first. We flag heads and lines before trenching. Heads right at the edge often need to be moved or adjusted, which we can do the same day.
How long does landscape curbing last?
Concrete curbing on a good base lasts many years with little care. Colored and stamped curbing looks best with a reseal every few years.
What time of year can you pour curbing?
Any time the ground isn’t frozen and nights stay above freezing for a few days after the pour, typically spring through fall in Mini-Cassia and the Magic Valley.
