Concrete Curbing FAQs
The average cost of a 180-square-foot concrete mow strip is approximately $450 based on a price per square foot of $2.50. However, like all landscaping and edging considerations, your costs will likely vary based on your location, needs, property specifics, the pro you hire, and the season.
A typical landscape curbing job requires between 180 and 300 square feet of curbing material. Still, contacting a local landscape edging service is always best to ensure you get the correct amount. Guesswork could cost you more than necessary and lead to financial and literal headaches if you have to correct errors later on.
Once your landscaper has prepped the area, it usually takes less than an hour for them to pour a concrete curb. Including preparation, most curbing installation jobs take no more than one full day to complete. Be sure to get a duration estimate from your landscaping professional if you’re on a tight timeline.
Concrete curbing can require several weeks to cure fully. However, most of the curing occurs within the first 24 to 48 hours. You may be asked to keep pets, children, and machinery (such as lawnmowers) away from the curbing during this time.
Concrete edging can last 10 to 30 years with proper care and maintenance. However, your home’s climate and other factors may influence its longevity. For the best results, talk to your landscaping professional about long-term care and maintenance plans so you don’t have to pay avoidable concrete edging costs.
No-dig edging, such as steel edging with push-in spikes, is the easiest edging to install. It usually comes in long spans or on rolls and simply pushes into the ground. You can anticipate this type of edging installation to take significantly less time than many of the other options.
