How do I create the product?
Basically, laying continuous concrete edging is a simple step by step process:

First the ground is prepared by removing turf from the edge line and/or smoothing the ground surface.
After the concrete is mixed, the concrete curbing is layed by the self-propelled curbing machine, while the operator steers and loads concrete into the machine
Afterwards, the concrete curbing is troweled and edges are finished for a very attractive look.
Some curbing professionals can offer colors and a stamped finish for an even more impressive appearance. Most jobs can be completed in 1 to 2 days and are paid for upon completion.

The finished product is an attractive landscape border that prevents weed overgrowth, retains soil and mulch and adds to the beauty and enjoyment of any residential or commercial landscaping and often the curbing will enhance the property value.

With material and labor costs around 20% on average, the profits in this business are amazing. It's not uncommon for a contractor to earn $1000 in a day. That's why so many are entering this lucrative industry!
