drive and bed

We can work together. As you can see in the photo there are two types of curbing. One red and one charcoal. If done properly the curbing blends in with the rest of the landscape. That is my goal when I install it for you. It should not stand out. I want it to work for you as a function of your landscape. Here the charcoal edging lines the driveway keeping the stone out of the grass and makes everything real neat. In the bed on the left the edging is a little more fancy, but still does not stand out, because it fits in with the bed design. Of course the function for the curbing there is to keep the mulch out of the grass. Both edgings will also reduce the amount of weed whacking that is required. The curbing can be used to run your lawnmower wheel on. Please keep in mind that the curbing does not eliminate weed whacking altogether, but it can reduce the amount of weed whacking.

Yes, Yes, Yes. This is an all concrete blog after all. We do a lot of this so let me explain a little. We arrive at the site with a trailer loaded with sand and cement. We also have a mixer on the trailer. We add the sand and cement along with the color and wheelbarrow it up to a machine that extrudes this shape. At that point I add the lines and shading to give it a brick look. It is very durable and is a continuously extruded concrete curb. Not only does it look nice, but it provides a benefit as you can see here. The owner of this house was having problems keeping the mulch in the bed, but not any more.

Stamped Driveway

Concrete driveways do not always look the same as you can see here. Our customer lives in historic Richmond and he wanted his driveway to look the part. We used the running bond as a border and a herribone as the infill. The color is Scofield red and a Buff release was used for the accent. Where the driveway meets the road we matched the existing sidewalk as well as the apron. We really enjoyed this one as it really changed the look of the front yard. I hope you like it as well as I do.
