Cache Curb Appeal treats every project, whether big and small, as personal or individualized. We don’t believe in run-of-the-mill work. More than anything, we want our work to reflect and match your needs and wants.

But we also follow a step-by-step process to ensure that we don’t miss anything and that our work remains consistently good.

So how do we tackle each landscape concrete curb installation? Let us give you an overview.

The first step is consultation. We strongly suggest that you book an appointment for a site visit. We offer a FREE estimate and site visit. All you need is to call or text us at (435) 554-8098.

Over the last few months, we’ve received plenty of inquiries, so it may take us about a day or two to give you an exact date for the appointment. But rest assured that we’ll schedule it as soon as possible.

Depending on the result of our visit, we sit down with you and ask a variety of questions. Please be patient at this point. We just want to make sure that we completely understand your needs and properly guide you throughout the decision-making process. We want the best output in the end after all.

One of our primary goals is to work with your terrain and landscape. We install our concrete landscape curb without disturbing your present yard, especially your turf-grass.

To do this, we follow these steps:

• We determine the best area to create the concrete mixture. This will be a few steps away from the curbing installation location but nowhere near any existing part of the yard.

Yes, we do this on-site, and no, we don’t paint over concrete to add colors or stamps. Instead, we already mix the chosen colors into the concrete mixture and use molds or rollers to produce the stamps. We also do natural ‘stone’ curbing by hand, which makes it a complicated but worthwhile project for anyone who wants to elevate the aesthetics of their outdoor space.

• Our team will then prep the ground by removing a part of the grass that grows on our predetermined path.
• In our concrete mixture site, we perform the concrete mixing process, which is vital in ensuring that the mixture will harden and cure and will remain durable. If you want colors, we add them before we begin the extrusion.
• We will then bring the extruded concrete to the curbing site using a powered wheelbarrow. We do our utmost best to not disturb or damage the turf-grass.
• Our team will then apply the curbing mixture to the ground. Stamping happens after we trowel the extruded concrete. We will add more concrete to fill in any gap.
• We will also use rollers and other kinds of stamping equipment and supplies.
• For the final touches, we will smooth the mixture by hand.
• We will remove the excess concrete and push the mulch back to the bed (if there is one).
• We will then apply at least three coats of sealant for any curb that has color in it.

At this point, the decorative curbing installation process is complete. However, there will still be drying and curing periods. It will eventually dry within 24 hours, but the curing may take up to 28 days.

Planning is everything when it comes to adding landscape curbing or edging in Cache Valley. Thus, make sure you book your appointment so we can begin the project right away.

Cache Curb Appeal vouches for our hard-to-beat craftsmanship, years of experience and expertise, and amazing team. We provide all our clients with ONE YEAR WARRANTY that covers both materials and quality of work. If we cause the defect, it’s on us. We’ll redo the work – no extra cost.

But when it comes to designing and taking care of your landscape curbs and edges, we’re all in this together. We want you to know what you can expect during the installation process and how we can better maintain it for years:

1. Protect the newly installed curb during the first 24 to 48 hours. Make sure that pets, children, and other objects will not come into contact with the concrete. We suggest not touching it, although it will feel hard within 24 hours.

2. The curing process, which is the time when concrete has completely settled, takes some time. Usually, it’s within 28 days. You can already use your sprinkler or proceed with the rest of the landscape project within 2 to 3 days. But be cautious when using equipment such as wheelbarrows and shovels within 28 days. If you encounter problems, don’t hesitate to call us at (435) 554-8098.

3. The decorative concrete curb may look splotchy during the first two to three days. Don’t worry, it should eventually finish drying and even out as the concrete finishes curing. Otherwise, call us at (435) 554-8098 if the issue remains after 2 weeks. The colors may look darker than the finished product will be after drying. Think of your sidewalk when you pour water on it, it looks darker. Once it dries, it looks like it is supposed to look. The same thing applies to your curbing.

4. We work with landscapers, but if we don’t collaborate, we recommend that you inform your landscaper that curbing has been performed in the yard. This way, they can also exercise caution, including preventing damage to the newly installed decorative concrete curb.

While the curb is still in the curing process, you can add about a six-inch layer of mulch or soil dirt on it or install a ramp when using a wheelbarrow for transportation.

5. One of the reasons we plan and look at the layout of the space is we want to avoid accidents like running over sprinklers or cable lines. Be honest with us as to their locations. Please know that, although we are fully insured, we won’t take responsibility for any damage to the yard because of a lack of warning or full disclosure.

6. You should NEVER drive a car or powered vehicle over your curb. While it will be hard enough to walk on, driving over it with a motor vehicle will almost certainly cause it to crack. If you absolutely HAVE to drive over it, you can cover it with 6 inches of dirt, add a wood ramp on top and drive over it this way. While we don’t warranty it if it still cracks, this is the best way to avoid cracks if possible.
