10 Lawn Curbing & Landscape Edging Ideas for Homes & Businesses

January 15, 2026

Concrete landscape curbing is more than a border; it's a design element that can elevate the entire look and feel of your property. Wolfrath's Curb is a firm believer in the transformative effect of landscape edging. As Wisconsin's curbing specialists, we've helped countless homeowners and businesses bring their visions to life.

If you're looking for inspiration, here are 10 lawn curbing and landscape edging ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

1. Frame Your Flower Beds

One of the most popular uses for concrete curbing is to create a clean, defined edge around flower beds. This not only keeps mulch and soil in place but also creates a beautiful frame that makes your plantings pop. Consider a simple dome-style curb for a classic look, or choose a stamped pattern, such as our Hand-Hewn Wood or Natural Cut Stone, to add nature-inspired texture.

2. Create a Grand Entrance

Your driveway and walkway are the first things visitors see. Use decorative curbing to create a grand entrance that makes a lasting impression. A double-brick pattern or a stately Castle Rock design can add a touch of elegance and formality. In Wisconsin, where driveways can be long, curbing can also help guide vehicles and protect your lawn from being driven on.

3. Define a Patio or Outdoor Living Space

Use curbing to create a distinct border around your patio or outdoor living area. This helps define the space and create a more intimate and polished feel. A low-profile slant style curb in a color that complements your patio pavers can create a seamless transition between your hardscape and landscape.

4. Highlight a Specimen Tree

Create a focal point in your yard by encircling a beautiful specimen tree with a decorative curb. This not only protects the tree's root system from lawnmower damage but also creates a dedicated space for a small garden or a bed of mulch. A circular or gracefully curved design works best for this application.

5. Complement a Raised Garden Bed

For those with a green thumb, concrete curbing can be used to border existing raised garden beds. This provides a clean, durable edge that enhances the look of your garden and helps keep soil and mulch in place. Our wood-inspired stamps are a popular choice for this, giving the look of a traditional raised bed with the longevity of concrete.

6. Edge a Playground Area

If you have a play area for your children, curbing can be used to contain playground mulch or sand and create a safe, defined space. A simple, rounded mower-edge curb is a good choice here, as it has no sharp angles. You can even choose from our 80+ colors to add a fun and playful touch.

7. Create a Tidy Border Along a Fence Line

Running a curb along your fence line can make maintenance much easier by creating a mowing strip. This eliminates the need for tedious trimming along the fence. It also provides a clean, finished look and can help prevent weeds from creeping under the fence.

8. Design a Winding Garden Path

Guide visitors through your garden with a beautiful, winding path edged with concrete curbing. This creates a sense of journey and discovery in your landscape. The continuous nature of our extruded curbing, a key part of our process, is perfect for creating smooth, flowing curves that are difficult to achieve with individual bricks or stones.

9. Add Curb Appeal to Commercial & Public Spaces

For commercial properties, curb appeal is essential for attracting customers. Use decorative curbing to create a professional, low-maintenance landscape around your building, parking lot islands, and signage. A clean, well-defined landscape projects an image of quality and attention to detail.

10. Enhance Your Landscape With Lighting

Take your curbing to the next level by pairing it with low-voltage landscape lighting. Wires can be run along the curb, and fixtures can be strategically placed to illuminate walkways, highlight landscape features, or create a warm, inviting ambiance in the evening. This is a fantastic way to enhance both the beauty and safety of your property after dark.
