The Equipment
Curb-Ease® self contained custom rigs are designed to carry all the equipment, tools and materials needed to complete your project quickly - with minimum disruption.
The curb extruder and sod cutter are smaller than a wheelbarrow, light weight and self propelling. All equipment has been designed to minimize any unnecessary mess to the customers yard while achieving top efficiency and maneuverability.
The Prep
Ground prep is extremely important. Curb-Ease® removes sod where necessary and installs a compacted base material, ensuring the ground is solid This enables a smooth extrusion of the concrete. Soft flowing lines are recommended for most residential applications as this creates "easy to mow" access for lawn cutting.
The Mix
Over the past 24 years Curb-Ease® has worked on improving the curb mix to provide customers with the strongest, most flexible concrete border available. Aside from the industry standard of cement, sand, water and sometimes color, Curb-Ease® standard mix also contains glass fibre and admixtures added to each mix -- increasing the structural integrity of the concrete.
Final Steps
The Turbo-Curber® curb machine extrudes the concrete border. The certified Curb-Ease® operators trowel and finish the curbs by hand. Once the curbs are smooth the stamp impression is applied giving the concrete border a decorative finish. The curbing will require a couple days to cure before an industrial acrylic sealer is applied to colored and stamped concrete to enhance and protect the finish.
