How long is each piece and are they available at the local DIY stores or builders merchants?
Unfortunately you can't buy them. Our product is not pieces but continuously laid concrete edging that is fully customized and manufactured on site. No two designs are alike and your kerbing will be unique to your property and tastes.
- How long does it take from start to finish to lay the kerbing?
It all depends on the meterage, however most jobs are completed in one or two days.
-
Should I expect any damage done to my lawns/flower beds or property?
NO! Since our machines are compact and no wider that about 75cm's they do not damage your existing flower beds or any other foliage. Also, no heavy vehicles or heavy equipment will come onto your property hence driveways etc will not get damaged either.
-
Will the kerbing crack or crumble?
Most likely not as we use a product called 'fibre mesh' this bonds the concrete together making it much stronger and helps prevent cracking plus we make periodic control joints.
-
How long does the kerbing/pathways last?
With a little care and maintenance concrete edging should last up to 20 years. Moisture is the primary enemy of any concrete structure; therefore on day one we seal all our work with a commercial grade acrylic sealer. Annual or semi-annual re-sealing will help assure a long and healthy life for your concrete edging.
-
Is your work and product guaranteed?
Yes our work is guaranteed for 1 year, however this does not cover accidental damage done to the kerbing by vehicles, garden tools, etc.
-
Is the price you quote all I have to pay?
The price we quote you for your kerbing/pathways is the price you pay. There will NEVER be any add on charges unless they've previously been agreed by yourself.
-
Does the kerbing or pathways you install need maintenance?
Very little. To keep it looking great we suggest you hose it down when needed and we HIGHLY recommend re-sealing at least every other year. You can do this yourself with any good concrete sealer (available at most DIY stores) or we can do this for you with our commercial grade sealers at a reasonable cost.
-
Do I need to do anything to prepare for your arrival?
There are a few things that our crew will need in order to complete the job. We will need access to a water source and would appreciate that any garden ornaments/toys be moved out of the immediate area of where the kerbing/pathway is going to be installed. Also, if there are any under ground pipes, wires, etc near where we'll be working then please point this out to us.
-
Will I be able to mow up against my kerbing?
Yes, as the kerbing is made from reinforced concrete you can run your lawn mower up to and against it, however it's advisable not to let metal blades hit it as over time they might start to damage the surface. Strimmers can also be used against the edge.
