Great for lots of curbs, especially at the grocery store or the parking lot! The base color sample is the natural color of concrete. Quality is job #1 with Cutting Edge Curbing. It costs us more and you can’t tell, but we can. Variations in the color of sand obtained from our suppliers in Arizona will also affect the shade of colored concrete as well as the type of cement used in making concrete for extruded landscape borders.Ĭutting Edge uses triple washed sand for a more uniform color & the finest quality cement in your concrete border. If your curbing gets wet or is in contact with high levels of moisture prior to curing you will get very dark and/or very light areas throughout the project.
* Remember to keep sprinklers and drip emitters off 2 days prior to installation and at least 2 days after installation (3 days is better) to allow the concrete to cure naturally and dry to a consistent color. Like all natural materials, variation is normal in the actual concrete whether colored or not. It is important to remember that the color you see on the monitor is a close representation of the color, but not an exact representation of the color as monitors differ from one computer to another. This discoloration is permanent and is not covered under warranty. If exposed to water prior to the initial 72-hour curing stage your curb will appear blotchy and you risk the appearance of efflorescence on your curb. Premature exposure to water will permanently discolor your curb. Please note: Water must be kept away from the curb for at least 48 hours (72 hours is better) in order to allow curb to cure properly.
Until then, the curb may look blotchy due to moisture and dew levels in the air.* It takes approximately 30 days for all the water to evaporate out of the curb and to show the final consistent color. Cutting Edge is consistent and uniform in our methods however, there will be variations which are normal.
