Please follow the guidelines below for your concrete landscape curbing:

1. Keep pets, children, and objects away from the curb for atleast 24 hours. It will be hard to the touch at this point but will need a few days to get completely hard.

​

2. Sod laying, sprinkler work, and landscape work can be started 24 hours after installation. However, caution must be taken as shovels, picks, and wheel barrows can damage the curb for several days while it is fully curing.

​

3. Concrete curbing takes 14-28 days to fully cure. You will notice the color of the edging changing during the curing process. Don't worry, this is normal and will achieve its final color when curing and sealing is complete.

​

4. If you have a landscape contractor working for you, caution him about protecting the curb from damage. If wheelbarrows are used for hauling rook over the curb, put a mound of dirt over it (6" deep) or build a ramp over the curb to keep from cracking it. Never allow a tractor or truck to run over the curb.

​

5. Efflorescence (white powdery substance) can appear on occasion and does not look good on curbing. It is generated from water sprinkling systems and can also appear after a rainstorm. Check your sprinkler heads while the system is on. Try to adjust them to minimize the amount of water spraying directly on the curb. If you just planted sod and are watering frequently, efflorescence may appear more readily. Be patient, wait for your lawn to get established and clean the curb after it dries. A solution of 50/50 vinegar and water with a light brushing will remove efflorescence. You may have to do this a few times, eventually the efflorescence should go away. You can also use Xylene to emulsify the sealer to help moisture get out of the curb. The sealer will re-harden and you should be all good.

​

6. Once in a while curbing with color in it will look splotchy for a few days while it is curing. This will go away as it cures and is not to be confused with efflorescense.

​

7. If curbing is damaged, we will come back and make necessary repairs. If the repairs are not covered under warranty, there will be a minimum charge for this.

​

8. Warranty - We have a 2-year workmanship warranty. Separation, heaving, and workmanship are the only things covered under warranty. Damage not caused by weather or other natural occurenses is not covered.

​

9. Cracking - Concrete curbing like any other type of concrete can and will crack. We try and control the cracking with expansion joints every couple of feet. We also use fiber mesh and other additives to minimize shrinkage, which produces cracks. We experience very little cracking in our products. However, if it should heave or buckle in a hairline crack under the warranty period, we will replace it at no charge. Take note, repairs can be difficult to make in colored concrete. It is impossible to get a perfect color match. Sometimes the "cure is worse than the ill." A hairline crack is much less noticeable than a patch or discoloration in the curbing.
