Landscape curbing: profiles, color and strength
Profiles include a 4x6 mold used mostly to divide flower beds and a mold that can be stamped with brick or stone textures. The color is integral, part of the mix. A finished curb can be as strong as 3,000 psi, a figure to verify with the installer, and will hold a mower riding along its edge, though the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association is clear that no concrete is completely crack-free.

Cut the bed line
A strip of sod about 9 inches wide comes up along the outside edge of the bed.
Mix and extrude
Concrete is mixed on a self-contained trailer, with the color measured exactly for the job. The dry mix, which looks like wet sand, is fed into the machine and pushed out as one continuous border, usually with reinforcing fibers.
Joint and seal
Joints are cut ½ inch into the curb roughly every 12 to 18 inches, then a sealer goes on to keep the color from fading. The work is normally done in one day.
