When planning a landscape upgrade, one of the most overlooked—yet most critical—features is landscape edging. Whether you're separating lawn from flower beds or adding structure to your outdoor space, the choice between concrete edging and traditional borders like wood or plastic can make a long-term difference in both style and durability.

At J&J Custom Curbing, we specialize in durable concrete edging that enhances your property’s curb appeal while saving you maintenance headaches down the road. Let’s compare your options.

What Are Traditional Landscape Borders?

Traditional borders often include:

• Wooden edging: Usually pressure-treated lumber, landscape timbers, or decorative garden borders.
• Plastic or rubber edging: Flexible, inexpensive, but often flimsy.
• Metal edging: Durable but prone to rust and sharp edges.

These materials are commonly available and easy to install but can break down quickly—especially in extreme weather conditions like we see in Texas.

Key Benefits of Concrete Edging for Homeowners

1. Durability That Pays Off

Concrete doesn’t rot like wood or break like plastic. Once installed, your edging will last through years of mowing, weather, and foot traffic.

2. Low-Maintenance Beauty

Forget realigning plastic strips or repainting wood. Concrete edging retains its shape and color with very little upkeep.

3. Custom Appearance

Choose from a wide range of colors, textures, and stamp designs to match your home’s aesthetic.

4. Better Lawn & Bed Separation

Clean, defined lines keep mulch where it belongs and help prevent grass from creeping into flower beds.

When to Replace Traditional Edging with Concrete

You might be due for an upgrade if:

• Your current edging is sagging, broken, or shifting
• You constantly re-edge your garden every season
• You want a more permanent, professional-looking border
• You’re tired of weeds growing between separate edging pieces

Tips for Long-Lasting Curb Appeal

• Avoid mowing over flimsy edging—opt for concrete to save your blades.
• Keep beds mulched properly to prevent erosion against any edging.
• Use stamped textures to match your patio, driveway, or walkway features.
