How do you do that?
No Mess, No Hassle
Our crack-resistant, stamped concrete border is unsurpassed by other types of lawn edging; including generic concrete curbing. We install A Better Edge on site with no mess and most jobs take less than a day to complete.
Once our estimate is complete, we schedule the installation. When the installation day gets here, our crew arrives with their job plan and will only need access to a potable water source and an electrical outlet. If needed, we can walk the property for finalization of any specifics. We will use marking paint to draw out the installation area and flags to mark any special needs.
For existing landscapes,
our clean crew will use Sod-cutters and shovels to prepare grass areas. We take out existing edging and move rock or mulch when necessary. Our equipment is designed to minimize or eliminate disturbance of existing plantings. We utilize compact, professional equipment to create a small, graded "trench" in the installation area. This "trench" is approximately 10 inches wide by one half to two inches deep for most standard applications.
Materials are well organized into our truck-trailer combo complete with cement mixer and all tools necessary. The vehicle is not large or cumbersome to neighbors and you need not worry about driveway or street damage from large cement trucks because we mix all of our own cement onsite.
We use regular garden wheelbarrows to transport the cement to the installation area and we "pump" (compact) cement through a mold while traveling around your landscape in the desired design. This process eliminates the need for costly, cumbersome forms or tire marks in the landscape.
We use a low-water mix that allows strength and the ability for the cement to stand on its own directly out of the mold without the use of a form. When the cement comes out of the mold, it is not very pretty. The skill of our craftsmen then transform what looks like a long, rugged earthworm. Unique finishing, stamping, coloring and curing all result in your one of kind garden border. The entire process is efficient, neat and fun to watch.
