Step 1:
After the design is completed the ground is marked with spray paint or a string line. A sod cutter is used to remove the grass. This will not disturb existing beds.
 
Step 2:
The concrete is mixed onsite using a mixer and trailer. The mix consists of sand, cement, water, desired color, fibermesh (for strength) and Efflor-Guard (protects the color of the curb and also protects against efflorescence.) There is no heavy equipment or concrete trucks on your property.
 
Step 3:
The concrete is fed from a wheel barrow into the curbing machine. This creates a continuous piece of concrete curb.
 
Step 4:
The curb is smooth finished with a hand trowel.  We then use our stamps and/or  rollers with color released agents to make your desired design.
 
Step 5:
Control/Expansion joints are cut every 3 feet while the concrete is still wet. The cuts are approximately 40% into the curb. This helps to allow the curb to shift during temperature changes and also helps control any cracking that may occur.
 
Step 6:
A concrete sealer is applied to your finished curb. Applying the sealer allows the concrete to cure properly, bring the true color of the release agents to life and protect your curbing from the elements.
 
Step 7:
Your yard will be left as clean or cleaner than it was when we arrived. The only way you will know we were there is the beautiful curbing you now have.
