POPULAR STYLES OF CONCRETE GARDEN EDGING
Transforming the landscape in your home could be as easy as adding special touches through curbing and borders.
These forms of finishing applications could truly make or break the appearance of your whole home. The good thing is, there are a number of residential concrete edging styles to pick from, providing you with the chance to become creative when transforming your garden into a picturesque surrounding. Some of the most popular styles of continuous garden edging include the following:
Slant Style
Way back in the 90s, the slant style had already become popular due to its feature of being textured and stamped on the typical gray concrete like you can with the curb style. On the other hand, different from the curb style, it comes with the unique capability to also keep gardening materials contained since the curb’s back is a bit higher compared to the front. The curb’s front side is normally set on the ground level to accommodate lawn mower wheels. Its slanted appearance displays any stamping or texturing that might be applied.
Mower Style
This style of edging is extremely well known as it is installed in order to both keep a lawn mower wheel and to simultaneously accommodate gardening tools, as it is higher on the back side. In addition to this, it offers excellent curb appeal as it sets off the landscaping through its picture frame kind of look.
6x6 Curb Style
This style could be utilized similarly to the application of typical curb style or you may use it as a retainer. Sometimes, this 6x6 Curb Style is the spec that is utilized by commercial architects. Hence, this style is perfect for commercial garden edging. It is just placed more deeply in the ground. A few other applications of this style may include the accommodation for gravel, gardening tools or some other walkway or driveway situations. This style is also a good choice for driveway edging.
6x4 Curb Style
Generally, the curb style is set on the ground level for easy lawn mowing. This style is extremely popular within commercial garden settings, as it can handle bigger mower wheels and offers a more significant appearance. It may also be installed as typical gray concrete or it could be textured and stamped. While it is set on the ground level, it’s not as easily viewed from the street and thus leaves the groomed look without exposing a lot of concrete edging.
Lighted Concrete Borders
Lighted borders may add the continuous light to your landscape edges through the use of 120v or 12v rope lighting system. Through this edging style, you can provide a natural appearance to your landscaped areas or home with a spotlight effect. So, why spend all the money and time on your landscape to just see parts of it at night? Through continuous light, you’ll be able to boost your landscape designs at night.
