Choose your border
Compare the look you want, your budget and whether you expect to change the bed layout later.
Concrete is harder to relocate than individual edging pieces and can crack. No border eliminates all weeds or bed maintenance. See our edging comparison and quote guide for the tradeoffs.
Plan your project
Start with the length of the bed edge, then the profile, color and stamp you prefer. Old edging removal, ground preparation, slopes and access can change the work involved. Adding rock, plants or lighting makes it a different scope from a border-only job.
Include your town, which beds you want edged and any photos of the existing border when you request a quote.
The free on-site visit lets Jake measure the bed line and review finishes, removal and any other landscaping you want included.
Ask for the measured footage, total installed price, what is included and the planned schedule. A per-foot number alone does not describe the whole job.

How it works
Jake measures your beds and reviews the style, site preparation and total project scope with you.
Old edging comes out and the new bed line is cut to the shape you want, curves included.
The border is extruded right on your property to follow the planned layout, with control joints to help manage cracking.
Follow the crew's instructions for curing, sealing and when to resume yard work beside the new curb.

We quote after measuring your bed edges. Footage, profile, color, stamping, access and removal or preparation work affect the total. Rock, plants, mulch and LED lighting add to the scope. We do not publish a fixed rate for every yard; our cost guide explains what to compare before booking. Read the cost guide
Plain gray, colored, or stamped and colored. The projects on this page show a smooth tan curb with a semi-gloss sealer and a stamped, colored curb. We will go over the options with you at the quote.
Concrete is a good fit when you want a decorative border poured to match an established bed layout. Plastic can suit a smaller budget and metal gives a narrow, understated edge. A poured border is harder to relocate if you change the bed, and concrete can crack. Choose for the appearance, installed cost and future plans for your yard.
It can. Control joints help manage cracking, but they do not guarantee a crack-free curb. Ground movement, temperature, moisture and curing all matter. We review the installation and care instructions with you; a concrete border still needs care.
Timing depends on footage, preparation, weather and whether the project also includes rock or plants. Jake confirms the schedule for your yard. The concrete also needs curing time, so follow the crew's instructions before walking or using equipment beside it.
Yes. The projects on this page show curbing combined with bed renovation, stone and planting. Tell Jake whether you want a border around existing landscaping or a full bed makeover so the quote covers the right work.
Yes. We mount a low-profile LED strip on the back of the curb, on the side that faces your house, so the glow lights up the bed and you do not see the strip from the street. It plugs into an outdoor outlet and comes with a remote, so you can pick any color or a warm white. Lighting is priced per foot and added to your curbing quote.
We are based in Manhattan, IL and install curbing in Manhattan, New Lenox, Frankfort and Mokena.
