Once you sign the approved estimate, there is a $600 down payment required. Should you cancel the agreement after it is signed, $150 of that $600 is non - refundable. The $150 would cover our time and expenses in coming to look and give you the estimate.

Yes we have a minimum footage. You must realize that a normal curbing crew is 3-4 men, with a truck and a trailer with all the necessary equipment. We cannot travel across the county and do 20 feet, a company would lose money on that. We currently have a $750 minimum, some other companies are lower but may have a smaller crew ect. Tree rings need to be large enough to handle growth years down the road and they are difficult and time consuming. We have a 25 foot minimum on tree rings which will give you at least a 6 foot diameter.

Most curbing jobs will be done in one day. In the event that you have a lot of footage to get curbed, we may have to come back the next day to finish.

Typically, we will pick the color of the base cement. We look at your house and yard and pick the color that would best compliment it. Normally, we go with either grays or browns. The color of powders that we use on top will be up to you, the customer, to achieve the look that you are going for.

If you have existing grass it will not be effected by our machines. We will "weed-whack" the are that you want your curbing in. Out side that area, the grass remains the same. We transfer the concrete using a wheelbarrow, which has large turf tires and don't tear up the grass. Your curb is extruded through a curb machine. The concrete is mixed onsite with a specialized trailer and mortar mixer. We are self contained but will need access to your outside water hydrant. Very minimal disturbance to your property. You must understand though that there may be very small minute leftovers next to curb or in the grass which is easily picked up.

Curbing is a concrete product and if a curbing company says their curbing never cracks they are simply not telling the truth. We have very minimal cracks as we use the correct ratios and techniques when it comes to mixing concrete and finishing. Spider cracks can occur in concrete and must not be mixed up with separation. You must remember that cracks can and will occur in concrete. Many factors contribute to this including materials, layouts, and temps. The main issues with landscape curbing are extreme angles, inclines, and declines. You must realize that a curbing machine weighs approx 210 lbs so getting enough compression is extremely difficult in these situations. Cracks are concrete issues, they can and will happen. Cracks that are over 1/4 wide on level ground are an issue with operator error or lack of compaction, these cracks will be covered under warranty. Cracks in all other situations are not. We put the control joints closer to relieve stress but cracks can occur, they are a fact of concrete life. We are dealing with moving concrete.
We put expansion joints approx every 2 feet for the relief of stress in the concrete as it cures. These joints are no different than the cuts in sidewalks or driveways, we are essentially putting cracks in ahead of time so the curbing will expand there. If it does then there may be a small crack that runs down the back or the front close to the ground. This DOES NOT mean the curbing has cracked, it means the control joints are doing their job and relieving stress.

Yes we can. Smooth flowing lines and curves are the very best look you can get. Straight lines and corners, first of all, aren't aesthetically pleasing but are a pain to mow. You also can't get proper drainage with them. Realize that a 200 lb machine is laying your curb, it's constantly moving so straight lines will NEVER be straight, no matter what company does them. You want the curb around your house to flow so it's easy to mow and you don't have to stop. You want it to transition cleanly to the next. Flow is extremely important and it's the first thing you see when someone drives by.

Our warranty on curbing is a 1 year workmanship warranty. Because this type of concrete cures so fast any issues you will have will commonly occur in the first 24 hours. Spider cracks are a concrete issue that can and may occur. Do we ever have issues with them? NO, but you need to be aware. If a crack forms and it's more than a 1/4 inch wide, it is operator error and will be fixed. Cracks that occur due to vehicles, heavy mowers, natural occurances such as tree roots, ground heaving, ect will not. Common sense really comes into play, such as when a car drives on landscape curb, it's prob not going to hold up. Spider Cracks are a fact of life in concrete and may occur in certain situations.

All sprinklers need to be marked either with a flag or paint. When we use the weed-eater, we want to make sure the sprinkler heads are all accounted for so the curb machine doesn't get too close to them. We aren't responsible for sprinklers ruined if they aren't marked. Make sure your driveway or area on street is clear of vehicles so we have room to park our trailer.

A high gloss acrylic sealer is sprayed on all curb that has color...stamped or not. This is the only thing that brings the color out and makes it pop.
Water based sealers DO NOT work as well, make sure it is not used on your curb. All sealers, regardless of what they are, will need to be reapplied. Sealer that is exposed to sunlight and UV rays will break down over time, this doesn't mean they will peel off or disappear. They will lose their luster and need to be resealed. Another coat will darken all your colors like the first time and make it look nice again.

This is a huge issue that MUST be addressed. We do offer "rain drains" that we custom make on site out of the curbing as well. These are an added fee and are not included in the actual footage of your curbing. Your curbing is a 4 inch concrete dam and it will hold water. If you don't want cut outs in your curbing or rain drains formed, then you will be required to sign a paper that says you choose not to have them installed.
That way, if any water damage is done to your house or foundation, it is on you, the customer. This is why when you do long waves and curves you can manipulate drainage. Water will settle at the bottom of a curve, it's an easy place to place a drain.

NO. You can actually "step your yard" by walking the area that you are looking to get curbed. Just normally walk around the area that you are looking to get curbed and then multiply it by 3. That will give you a rough footage of how many linear feet you want to get curbed. If you have pictures to go along with the footage that is even better. You can email them to us or text them to us.
