Curb Picker Gallery

Please be patient as picker loads slowly on some devices. Press or click to enter slideshow view. Long press or right click to open full size photo.

Virtually all are on low angle border, so only the last three descriptors are noted with most photos:

The gallery pictures the most common curbs. As ours is a mix and match system, the combinations are almost endless, so many will not be pictured here. Keep in mind that colours are only “ballpark” with concrete ( see colours page for more information). If you want to create a new combination that you do not see pictured, that is not a problem! Just familiarize yourself with the various options of profile, base colour, release colour and texture that are available, and request your curb based on your choices. If something may not work, we will give you feedback! We have had unusual combinations like green release on black base- giving very nice results. If you are home for the installation, we do not mind doing a test section for you to see before committing.

Understanding curb choice terminology:

The proper description needs to be used in communicating with us regarding your choices! Here were explain our terminology.

There are four elements to the description of a stamped curb as illustrated in the following photo. If you need more clarification, click the link to the appropriate page:

1: Profile: low angle border (or possibly a flat top profile- can’t tell from this photo angle)

2: Base (integral) Colour: light charcoal

3: Release Colour: dark gray

4: Texture: Cobble

Hired Dave at Best Curb to install curbing on a few homes, always completely satisfied. During my last landscape project, he was too busy and I was too impatient so I hired someone else. That was a costly mistake on my part.Thankfully Dave was gracious enough to come by and fix the mess someone else did. When I asked Dave to just rip everything out, and there was lots of it and just redo it, he said let me speak with my suppliers, maybe we can come up with a fix instead to save you some money. A week later he knocks on my front door to let me know he just repaired my curbing, it was fabulous and his above and beyond service and professionlism saved me thousands. If your looking for a professional, knowledgable AND ethical contractor for your curbing needs, this is the man and this IS the company.

Not only in case of rain on new curb, (as in this case), but in ALL cases, STAMPED concrete, no matter what company installs it, needs to be resealed a couple of weeks after installation. It MUST be resealed before the first winter!!!

The video below shows the dramatic effect of resealing curb that has only the first coat.

We are using a sprayer, but a BRUSH works just as well or better.

Curb needs more protection than we can give it with just one coat done on the day of installation. In most cases, resealing is the homeowner's responsibility. This cuts down on the cost and it is the homeowner's first experience of a chore that needs doing every couple or three years after that.

If you don't want to reseal, then simply order an unstamped curb.

We have found after 18 years of curbing, that it is best if you experience the use of sealant while the curb is still new!
