Care & Warranty     

Please follow the guidelines below for your concrete landscape curbing.

1. Keep pets, children and objects away from the curb for at least 24 hours. It will be "hard" to the touch at this point, but will still 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 wheelbarrows can damage the curb for several days while it is fully curing.

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

4. If it begins to rain within 6 hours after we leave the job, try to cover the curb with plastic. Make sure sprinkler systems do not come on for at least 24 hours.

5. Once in a while curbing with color may look “splotchy” for a few days while it is curing.  This will go away as it cures.  It takes roughly 28 days for concrete to cure.

6. If curbing is damaged we will come back and make necessary repairs; however, there is a charge for this service.

7. Concrete curbing like any other type of concrete can and will crack. We try to control the cracking with expansion joints. If cracking does occur, it should be in the expansion joint. We experience very little cracking in our products; however, if it should crack out of the joint, we will replace it at no charge during the warranty period. A warning however, is important to 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. To minimize the risk of cracking, especially during drought or dry weather conditions, after 24 to 28 hours water the curbing area periodically during the 28 day curing period.  This will help prevent the ground from pulling moisture from the curb during the curing process which can cause cracking.

8. Your curbing has a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It will be replaced at no charge if the defect is caused by the materials we use or the way it was installed.

9. The color of your curb may fade slightly over time, as is normal with any outdoor concrete application. We recommend that your curbing be resealed every 1 to 2 years to resist fading.
