Concrete landscape curbing

Concrete landscape curbing (or concrete landscape bordering) is an alternative to plastic or metal landscape edging made with concrete.^[1] Concrete landscape curbing has become more popular over the last decade.^{[citation needed]}

Concrete landscape curbing has been installed in every climate in the United States and throughout the world. It is usually installed using a specialized landscape curbing machine based on a design that originated in Australia in the 1970s.^{[citation needed]}

Due to the expensive and laborious installation, concrete landscape curbing is usually utilized to create a permanent border. It is not particularly useful in areas where the landscape is likely to change, for example around a non-permanent swimming pool, which won't last forever, or a pine tree, where the border would need to expand with the tree's growth.^{[citation needed]}

Concrete landscape curbing can be used to highlight and emphasize a flowerbed or other landscaping area. Various colors and stamps are available to achieve different looks. A lawn mower wheel can be run on the curbing, eliminating edging where a curb is installed. The concrete border is also acts as a root barrier. Because of its weight, concrete landscape curbing, unlike plastic landscape edging, does not rise due to frost.^{[citation needed]}

Paving

Concrete curbing can contain decomposed granite, pavers, brick, mulch, and other pavement and walking surfaces for paths, walkways, driveways, and other outdoor circulation.
