Concrete landscape curb can be either precast or cast-in-situ. As what I mentioned in my previous article, cast-in-situ is those concrete that constructed on the spot on the site by labour. Probably concrete landscape curb is used to decorate our yard and make our yard to be different with your neighbours. Other than this, we call it as landscape edging as well. By using landscape edging for your yard, it makes your garden looks neat and clean as well.

Concrete landscape curb can be done by simple landscape curbing machine as what I show in “Concrete Curbing Machine List“. It don’t cost you a lot and it simple and fast to settle the job. It doesn’t like what I wrote for concrete road curb which curved combined concrete road curb and gutter takes you about few days to finish it.

After put the concrete into the machine, another person will be pulling the curbing machine and the curb shape will be follow by the machine as what we saw in the video.

4) Finishing
The concrete edging is not as smooth as what we want, so we have to make it smooth with a tool. After that, we have to cut it into pieces.

The purpose of this is to make it unique and decorative. We have to do it unique because the main purpose of doing landscape curb is to make the place looks unique and decorative.
