1) DO NOT perform any activities around the curb for 48 hours after installation. This includes keeping your sprinklers off for at least 5 days. Although the curb may appear and feel hard, it can still be scratched or crumble under heavy pressure. Rakes, shovels, hoes, and other tools can easily damage the curb.
2) DO NOT run a mower or weed eater along the side of the curb during the curing process. It will take approximately 28 days for the curb to fully cure.
2) Curb doesn't crumble or fall over on its own. Please use caution around it for at least a week. Most importantly, keep children and pets from walking on it.
As a homeowner, it's crucial to prioritize proper drainage when it comes to curbing. Following our advice will help prevent potential issues.
1) Our crew endeavors to incorporate drainage cuts into the curb in strategic locations to facilitate the drainage of water away from your house. These drains are solely intended for direct rainwater! However, all water from the roof must be directed outside the curb. Extending your downspouts over the top or using black pipes can effectively channel water away. Even with drainage cuts in place, it's important to note that during heavy rain, the curb may not be able to handle all the water from the roof before it accumulates next to the house.
2) Be aware that during curb installation, your existing sprinklers may end up inside the curb and may require some adjustments. While most sprinklers can shoot over the curb without issues, occasional minor adjustments may be necessary. Additionally, refrain from running your sprinklers for at least 5 days after curb installation.
If your curb is colored it will need to be resealed.
If you've opted for standard gray curb, no maintenance is needed as gray curb doesn't require sealing. However, if you've chosen a colored curb, it has been sealed and will need periodic resealing to maintain its fresh colors. The frequency of resealing depends on personal preference for glossiness and color intensity. Over time, acrylic sealers may lose their luster due to UV exposure, giving the appearance of faded colors. Resealing can be done independently or by contacting us for professional cleaning and resealing at an additional charge.
While landscape curbing is highly durable and long-lasting, it doesn't possess the same PSI or tensile strength as concrete from a batch plant. The aggregates used in this product are akin to mortar mix, lacking rocks for strength. Push mowers and riding lawn mowers can traverse over curbing without issue. Problems may arise if mower decks are set too low or care isn't taken when passing over the top. Concrete can be scratched by metal, similar to a sidewalk being scratched by a screwdriver. Weed eaters pose no threat to curbing unless a metal blade is used. It's crucial to avoid driving large tractors or vehicles over curbing, as it may cause damage to both the curb and the ground underneath, potentially leading to sinking.
