Our Curbing Process
Give Us A Call
At Wolfrath's Curb, we follow a proven process to ensure the durability, smoothness, and longevity of your concrete landscape edging. Experts with years of experience manage each step with precision, utilizing premium materials and specialized tools. We take pride in doing things correctly the first time, from preparation to the final seal.
step 1:
Ground Preparation
Creating beautiful concrete curbing begins with methodical site preparation—the foundation of durability that homeowners often don't see but will appreciate for years to come.
- Our specialists carefully remove existing grass, plant debris, and old edging materials that could compromise the new installation.
- Using professional-grade equipment, we excavate to the proper depth and establish precise grade lines that ensure proper water drainage away from garden beds.
- The soil base is thoroughly compacted to prevent future settling that could otherwise lead to cracks in your decorative concrete curbing.
step 2:
Mixing
The secret to Wisconsin-durable concrete curbing lies in our proprietary mixing process that creates edging able to withstand harsh freeze-thaw cycles while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
- Rather than using pre-mixed concrete, we blend our materials on-site for each specific job, allowing us to adjust for humidity, temperature, and other environmental factors.
- Our exclusive concrete formula incorporates fiber reinforcement and specialized polymers that significantly enhance flexibility and crack resistance.
- For colored installations, we integrate premium UV-resistant pigments throughout the entire mix, not just surface coloration—ensuring lasting beauty even with lawn maintenance equipment contact.
step 3:
Extruding
The extrusion phase transforms raw materials into the seamless concrete borders that will define and enhance your landscape for decades to come.
- Our state-of-the-art curbing machine precisely extrudes continuous concrete edging without the weakness of conventional sections and joints.
- Skilled operators guide the equipment with remarkable precision, creating fluid curves around garden beds and perfect straight runs along driveways and walkways.
- The continuous extrusion process creates monolithic concrete curbing that distributes ground pressure evenly, dramatically reducing potential failure points.
step 4:
Stamping & Coloring
This artistic phase transforms functional concrete curbing into decorative landscape elements that complement your home's architectural character and enhance your outdoor aesthetics.
- While the freshly extruded concrete remains workable, our artisans apply your selected stamp pattern with practiced precision and artistic sensibility.
- For multi-colored designs, we employ specialized techniques that create natural-looking variation reminiscent of high-end stone or brick materials.
- Each decorative detail receives meticulous attention, ensuring clean pattern transitions and consistent texture across your entire landscape curbing installation.
step 5:
Sealing
The final critical step in our process provides essential protection for your investment while enhancing the visual impact of your new concrete landscape curbing.
- After an appropriate curing time, we apply a commercial-grade penetrating sealer specifically formulated for Wisconsin's challenging climate conditions.
- Our sealant creates an invisible shield against moisture absorption, preventing deterioration during freeze-thaw cycles that damage inferior concrete curbing products.
- This professional sealing process enhances color depth and brings out the subtle nuances in your stamped patterns, creating rich visual dimension in your landscape edging.
step 1:
Ground Preparation
This process is all about you choosing design and us preparing the ground for the actual curb to be laid down. By cutting the grass around the project area, we are allowing the grass to grow into the curb, creating a more natural, interesting final product.
- We spray down our recommended lines for the curb
- You decide on which design you would like
- Our crew cuts the sod, rolls it up, and removes it
step 2:
Mixing
We bring our mixers on our trucks to make the job faster and easier for everyone. With your design and pattern in mind, our team will create the perfect mix right before laying the curb.
- We’ll mix the concrete for you specific design needs
- We keep everything on our truck for easier cleanup
step 3:
Extruding
This process is all about you choosing design and us preparing the ground for the actual curb to be laid down. By cutting the grass around the project area, we are allowing the grass to grow into the curb, creating a more natural, interesting final product.
- We focus on perfect color matching
- Our stamps will be nice, symetrical, but also natural in style so it doesn’t seem too manufactured
step 4:
Stamping & Coloring
This is where your design really comes to life. We’ll mix colors to reach your favorite choice and stamp it to your chosen design.
- Once you’ve agreed to a job well done, we’ll bring our team back to seal the curb
- After a few years, we’ll come back for a quick resealing that will keep it looking brand new
step 5:
Sealing
Your curb will last for years without chipping, cracking, or fading because of our sealing technique. We’ll come back a few days after the job is done to seal it for durability. Then, we’ll reach back out in a few months to come back and reseal for even longer-lasting curb.
- We’ll come to you for approval on a job well done
- Our team will come back a few days later to seal the curb
- Later that year, we’ll call you to schedule your first resealing
