3. Concrete Boarders info:
There’s no doubting curb appeal is one of the most important factors affecting a
home’s sale price. Beyond a well-manicured lawn, adding custom concrete
curbing as a decorative finish to flower beds and walkways is an easy and cost-
effective way to upgrade the aesthetics of your yard and improve your home’s
first impression."

eieihome spoke to Carlos Renderos, owner operator of the local franchise Curb-
Ease, a company that has been providing concrete garden edging for residential
and commercial applications for the past 17 years. He says his custom concrete
landscape borders can instantly beautify any property while saving
homeowners time and money with lawn and landscape maintenance.

5. Advantages
Design Options:"
With 22 colours available and over 20 stamped patterns, concrete edging
allows you to create a customized look that compliments your home and
existing landscape. "
!
“It can be made to match the look of any home’s exterior, carrying the theme of the
exterior colour of the home into the yard,” says Renderos.!
!
Because the colour is added directly to the concrete mixture, you won’t
need to worry about peeling, flaking or chipping. Stamped patterns can
create the look of brick, stone, slate, rock or wood, adding texture and
interest to landscaping.
6. Advantages
Uniques shapes:"
Custom concrete curbing can be designed in any shape.
When planning the design, Renderos recommends clients lay
a rope on the ground in the shape they want the flower bed
and purchase an eco-friendly marking paint to help visualize
what the design will look like when completed."

7. Advantages
Durable:!
While plastic edging, bricks or natural stones can shift
due to ground movement and changes in
temperature, concrete edging is a one-piece,
continuous border that is given strength through its
volume and will stay in place much better."
!
8. Advantages
Reduce Maintenance:"
In addition to transforming the look of your yard, concrete
borders reduce the amount of time required to maintain the
finished look. While most homeowners run to the garden store
in the spring to purchase bags of soil or mulch to top up flower
beds after melting snow and rain have caused them to erode,
concrete borders hold the soil in place, preventing erosion. "
!
“It saves you money in the long run because you don’t have to buy
the same amount of soil or mulch,” says Renderos.
9. Advantages
Enhance Outdoor Safety:!
Rather than decorative garden lights that get
knocked down or break, lighting can be
installed directly into the concrete curb to light
up a pathway or garden bed. Renderos of
Curb-Ease has even installed festive lighting
that changes colours, eliminating the need to
purchase additional seasonal lighting.
