Installing Landscape Borders

First, the sod cutting and ground preparation is completed making the landscape ready for curb installation. This is done using a sod-cutting machine to cut a 6-9" wide strip of sod, and the crew using square shovels to remove grass, and level the ground. Once the ground preparation is completed we are ready for installation.

Second the concrete is mixed on a self-contained trailer, and color is added to the exact measurement for the job. The mixture of cement sand, Portland cement, and a reinforced fiber is what creates a strong durable mixture. The mixture is a dry mix, and will resemble the look of wet sand.

Once the concrete is mixed it is wheeled to the site, fed into the machine and extruded into a beautiful continuous border for your landscaped area.

The crew will then finish out the curb depending on the type of curb you are installing, from using trowels or a stamping process to finish the installation. As an added precaution to ground movement control joints are cut 1/2in into the curb approximate every 12-18 inches to add flexibility to a very strong reinforced curb.

This process is normally a 1-day process, and when the crew is completed your landscape will be as clean as when they arrived.

Make sure your work agreement specifies:

  • Job cleanup
  • That all excess materials shall be removed from the project
  • That the project is to be left in the same clean condition as when the project started
