Installation

	Step 1: Ground Preparation First the trenching and ground preparation is completed readying the landscape for concrete curb installation. A sod cutter or trencher will be brought in and a trench will be cut approximately 2″ deep and 10″ wide to accommodate the machine and to ensure that the front edge of the curbing is at the same height as the firm sod. (Deeper trench for the curb style.)
	Step 2: Mixing The concrete is mixed to proper proportions in a mortar mixer. The mixture of concrete or mortar sand, Portland cement and other bonding materials creates a strong, durable concrete product.
	Step 3: Machine Extrusion The concrete is wheeled to the site, fed into the automatic concrete extrusion machine and extruded into a beautiful continuous concrete landscape border.
	Step 4: Troweling Specially designed trowels are used in the final finishing of this beautiful product. Troweling finishes off the product to your desired specifications and look, as well as sealing the concrete against the elements.
	Step 5: Designer Series If you are installing Designer Series concrete, other steps of coloring, texturing, and stamping will be employed to achieve the look of stone, wood, pavers, or brick.
	Step 6: Control Joints As an added precaution to ground movement which may damage the concrete, control joints are cut half-way through the edging. This gives some flexibility to your finished concrete product.
