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 10 inch wide strip of sod and the crew using square shovels, removes the grass and levels the ground. Once the ground preparation is completed, we are ready for installation. Next, the concrete is mixed on a self-contained trailer in a mortar mixer, and optional color is added to the exact measurement for the job. The mixture of concrete sand, Portland cement, and a reinforced fiber is what creates are strong durable mixture. The mixture is a dry mix, and will resemble the look of wet sand. Once the concrete is mixed it is wheelbarrowed to the site, fed into the machine and extruded into a beautiful continuous border for your landscaped area. Our crew will then finish out the curb depending on the type of curb you are installing, from using trowels or an optional stamping process to finish the installation. As an added precaution to ground movement control joints are cut into the curb approximate every 36 inches to add flexibility to a very strong reinforced curb. This entire process is normally a 1-day process, and when our crew is completed your landscape will be as clean as when they arrived.
