Why Curbing?

Let's face it- we don't wake up one morning and say "Gee, I want to buy some curb!" Curbing doesn't exactly fall into the same category as needing a washing machine or a new vehicle. Curbing falls into the want column when curbing should be a need.

Love it or hate it, landscaping is necessary to maintain the value of your home. The better kept the landscaping, the higher the perceived value of your home- both by you and potential buyers. First impressions count- and that goes for your home as well.

Maintaining curb appeal can be a daunting task, and here in Florida maintenance is brutal due to the heat and humidity. Two common issues which add hours to time in the yard are grass creeping into your plant beds and mulch washing out of plant beds. Not only are these issues tedious to keep under control, but they are expensive. Replacing mulch adds up and tools needed to make sure grass stays in the yard get pricey.

Curbing solves both of these issues! Curbing creates a barrier between the lawn and the plant beds. Grass no longer grows into the beds, and since the curbing is 3 1/2 inches tall, the mulch no longer washes out. In fact, the money saved in replacing lost mulch ends up paying for the curb in the first two years.

  1. Garden edging is undoubtedly a genuine long-lasting technique to build boundary for the garden or lawn. It depends largely on the technique of edging one would prefer and this sort of Concrete Edging is quite simple, capricious and overtly ornate. Although garden edging is on hand in assorted materials like stone, plastic, brick and metals but among all cast iron excels all with its low maintenance and commendable life.
