Now is the time to improve your home’s “curb appeal”…and adding custom concrete curbing is the best and most cost effective way to upgrade and add beautify to your property while saving time and money with lawn and landscape maintenance.

It looks terrific around garden beds, walkways and driveways. Available in many colors, shapes and textures, concrete curbing allows you to create a customized look to complement your home and landscape perfectly.

And despite its abundance of benefits, it remains surprisingly affordable. And when you choose Maryland Curbscape, your project is completely custom…each job is performed to your specifications.

FAQ’s
How long are the pieces and where can I buy them?
You can’t buy them. The curb is not sold in pieces or sections. The curb is poured on site at your home or property using specialized tools and equipment. Each job is performed to your specifications. You choose the color, texture, stamp, and design layout. No two jobs are ever the same.
How deep do you dig?
We dig about 1-2″ inches deep and about 9″ wide using a sod cutter. We use the sod cutter to cut a level path where the curb will be made. This is done without damaging your existing landscape beds or gardens.
What about the ground freezing and moving?
A major benefit of concrete curbing is that it is continuous piece of concrete. Unlike bricks pavers or stone products that can shift and separate during the winter months and over a period of time, concrete curbing is made to be flexible. Control joints are placed every 4 feet along the length of the curb to provide flexibility. If a crack were to develop, it would be at a control joint and be so subtle that it would hardly be noticeable.
Is the color painted onto the surface?
No. The color is added to the concrete mixture. The color will not peel, flake, or chip. There are over 40 colors to choose from. The possibilities to mix and match colors are endless.
What are the stamped patterns?
We have 15 different stamp and texture patterns to choose from. The stamped patterns can be used to produce the look of brick, stone, slate, rock or wood.
How often should the curb be sealed?
The curb is sealed with a clear acrylic based UV sealant during the installation. Curbs should be re-sealed every two to three years. Many customers choose this as a do it yourself weekend project. We do however offer this service at a very reasonable price if you are not the DIY type.
What’s the warranty?
We provide a one year replacement warranty on materials and workmanship. Excluded is damage caused by vandalism, snow removal equipment, negligent use of garden tools, or heavy equipment movement over or around the curb.
Is concrete curbing affordable?
Yes! Not only is concrete curbing durable, elegant, and functional, it is surprisingly very affordable. Concrete curbing is very competitively priced to traditional landscape products that do not compare in terms of quality and long term value.
