Warranty, Care, & Maintenance

1

Letting your new edging cure properly

The first 24 hours is the most important after installation of your new curbing. We ask that irrigation is delayed for at least 24 hours after curbing installation has been completed. Minimizing traffic around the new curbing and keeping pets off of the newly installed edging is critical. Curbing, which is very similar to other forms of concrete flatwork installation takes 28 days to fully cure. We ask that you use caution around the new curbing when mowing & trimming within the first month. You will notice the color of the curb may begin to change as the curbing begins to cure. This is a normal occurrence. If new landscape is installed after curbing installation has taken place, we ask that you delay this work for at least 48 hours. Ensure that your landscape contractor uses caution when using shovels, rakes, or equipment around the newly installed edging as the concrete cures.

Cleaning and caring for your landscape curbs

Efflorescence (white substance on curb) can appear on occasion after curbing has been installed. This is a naturally occurring process, and intensity can be determined by the hardness of water. If underground irrigation is used within the lawn, we ask that you contact your irrigation contractor to have sprinkler heads adjusted so that the curbing is not directly sprayed. Efflorescence is a natural occurring process of curing concrete and will dissipate once curbing is fully cured.

3

Sealing your concrete curbing

Sealing of the newly installed landscape curbing is included in the price quoted to you. This will be completed within 10 days once the installation is completed. Sealing of the edging is recommended every 2 years to maintain the vibrancy of the color, but to also protect the curbing from mother nature. Sealing will also protect it from stains such as mud, grease, or spilled liquids.

Warranty

Your curbing carries a one-year warranty* from the date of installation. This protects the homeowner from defects in materials and workmanship. If it is determined that materials used or workmanship of the crew was unsatisfactory, we always stand behind our work to ensure complete satisfaction. Sealers are not a part of warranty as all sealers are subject to different wear times depending on traffic and elements due to weather.

*Cracks: Curbing is a concrete product and as such can and will crack. If a curbing company guarantees their curb will not crack, they are not telling the truth. There are many factors that can contribute to cracking, such as, inclines, declines, temperature, and extreme angles. Our warrently specically covers cracks 1/4" or more on level ground which would be considered a workmanship fault or material default and will be covered. Any other circumstances will not be covered by the warranty.

If cleaning of the curbing is desired, 50/50 water and vinegar mix with a stiff bristle brush is perfectly safe to use. A hose and nozzle can be used to spray off curbing. We recommend not using pressure washers as this can cause damage and pitting to the sealant on the curbing.
