Concrete Curbing Services in Montgomery County, TX | Decorative Landscape, Edging, and Commercial Curbs
Plastic and steel edging bends, heaves and disappears under St. Augustine runners within a few seasons. The Montgomery County concrete curbing we install is one continuous border that holds its line for years. At Montgomery County Concrete Contractors, we install every curb with our own crew, never a subcontractor.
We extrude curbing around flower beds, tree rings and island beds, and along drives and walks. You can choose plain gray, integral colors or stamped textures. On commercial lots, we form heavier curbs around parking islands. Our family has built in Texas since 1985, and we've completed more than 500 projects.

Concrete Curbing in Montgomery County, TX That Stays Put
Our landscape curb is one continuous concrete border, shaped by a machine as it travels along a line we lay out with you. With no loose pieces, nothing shifts, nothing lifts at the joints, and the line stays crisp through mowing, edging and string trimming. We cut shallow control joints along the run so any shrinkage cracking happens where we planned it, and most residential curbing jobs take us a single day.
Decorative Landscape Curbing for Beds and Borders in Montgomery County, TX
We curb the front beds of a house, the edges of driveways and walks, and island beds in the lawn. Our crew lays the line with you first, using paint or a hose, so you can see the curves from the street and from the front door before any concrete goes down.
Slant Mower-Edge and Square Curb Profiles
Our two curb profiles cover almost every home. The slant mower-edge curb has a low lip on the lawn side so one mower wheel rides along it, which cuts down on string trimming. The square profile gives a more formal, architectural line for brick, stone and modern farmhouse fronts. We show you both on site and recommend one based on how you mow and how the house looks.
Colored and Stamped Curbing
We pour curbing in plain gray to match a new driveway, or with integral color in tans, browns and charcoals to tie the border to the brick or the mulch. Our crew can stamp slate, brick or stone texture into the top as it leaves the machine, then seal it so the color holds up in the sun. In The Woodlands we keep colors muted for design review.
Tree Rings and Island Beds
Our tree rings keep the mower and trimmer off the trunk and hold a neat bed of pine straw. We set each ring wide enough that we work in the topsoil instead of through structural roots, and we never trench close to the trunk of a tree you want to keep.
Commercial Curbs and Parking Island Curbing
We form and pour commercial curbs around landscaped parking islands, along new parking extensions and at the edges of entry pads, and we replace curb sections trucks have broken. These curbs are formed rather than extruded, built heavier than landscape curbing, and tied into the paving we pour beside them. Our commercial concrete page covers the larger flatwork.
Clay, Roots and Getting the Base Right
Every curb we install sits on prepared ground. We cut the bed edge clean, remove sod and loose mulch along the line, and set the curb on firm, compacted soil instead of fluffy bed soil. On our clay, a curb poured over soft fill tilts as that fill settles, and nothing fixes that afterward.
Our crews also plan for water. Curbing can act like a small dam, so we leave gaps or set the grade where beds need to drain toward the lawn. We also keep the curb slightly above the grass so St. Augustine runners have to climb it instead of sliding underneath.
Concrete Curbing Compared With Other Edging
| Edging | How it holds up here | Our take |
|---|---|---|
| Extruded concrete curb | One continuous piece; doesn't heave at seams | What we install |
| Plastic edging | Lifts, bends and gets buried by runners and mulch | Cheap to start, replaced often |
| Steel edging | Holds a line but can bend and leaves a thin edge | Fine for modern beds, harder to mow |
| Brick or paver border | Individual pieces shift and sink on clay | Looks good until it moves |
We recommend concrete curbing because it gives a mower a solid edge to run on and keeps working without resetting. If you love the look of brick, we stamp a brick texture into the curb instead and keep it in one continuous piece.
Adding Curbing to a Driveway or Walk Project
Many of our curbing jobs follow a new driveway, patio or front walk, when the beds beside it are torn up anyway. Running the curb along the new concrete gives the yard a finished edge, and doing both in one project saves you a second mobilization. We price the curb on its own line so you can add it now or later.
Our curbing needs little from you once it's in. Keep mulch and pine straw below the top of the curb so the line stays visible, and run the trimmer along the face. When the color on a colored or stamped curb starts to fade, call us to reseal it.
How We Install a Curb
Lay out the line
We mark the curves with you so the shape works from the street and the porch.
Cut and prepare
Sod and loose material come out and our crew firms up the base along the line.
Extrude, texture and joint
We feed mix through the machine as it travels, forming one continuous curb, stamp the top if you've chosen a texture, then cut the control joints.
Clean up and seal
Our crew cleans the beds and lawn edge, and we seal colored or stamped curb once it has cured.

Our Curbing Guarantee

Where Our Customers Put Concrete Curbing
Front flower beds
We curb the beds along the front of the house, the spot that does the most for curb appeal.
Along drives and walks
Our curb runs beside new or existing concrete so mulch stays off the drive and walk.
Tree rings
We ring trees wide enough to protect roots and hold a neat bed of pine straw.
Island beds
Our crews curb free-form island beds in the lawn so the mower can follow the curve.
Mailbox and sign beds
We curb small beds around mailboxes, lamp posts and entry signs.
Parking islands
On commercial lots we form heavier curbs around landscaped islands and along drive aisles.
Edging Problems Our Curbing Solves
Our customers usually call after years of fighting the same edging problems. Concrete curbing ends them:
- Plastic edging that heaves out of the ground every winter
- Steel edging that bends when the mower clips it
- Paver or brick borders where single pieces sink, shift and grow weeds in the joints
- St. Augustine runners creeping into the beds under shallow edging
- Mulch washing onto the lawn and the driveway in every heavy rain
Every curb we install is one continuous piece on firm, compacted soil, so it holds its line through mowing, trimming and heavy rain. Most homes take us a single day from layout to finished curb, and you can mow along it after a couple of days.
Getting Your Yard Ready for Curbing
We ask you to mark sprinkler heads and shallow irrigation lines near the beds, switch off the system the day before, and let us know about any landscape lighting wires. Our crew removes the old edging, cuts the bed line clean and hauls away the debris as part of the job.
After we finish, keep sprinklers off the fresh curb for a day and wait a couple of days before you mow or trim against it. Keep mulch below the top edge so the line stays visible. Your curb is covered by our one-year workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and our owner walks the finished line with you.
Choosing Your Curb Style
Our owner brings profile and color samples to the site visit. This is how we usually match the curb to the house and the yard:
| Style | Best for | Why we recommend it |
|---|---|---|
| Slant mower-edge, plain gray | Beds beside a new gray driveway or walk | Matches the concrete and gives the mower a wheel path |
| Slant mower-edge, integral color | Brick homes with tan, brown or red tones | Ties the beds to the brick and hides dirt |
| Square profile, plain or colored | Formal fronts and modern farmhouse homes | Crisp architectural line that reads as built-in |
| Stamped slate or brick texture | Entries and front beds that get the most attention | Looks like masonry but stays one continuous piece |
What Sets the Price of Curbing
We price curbing after walking the line with you, because length, tight curves, profile, color and stamping all change the cost, and removing old edging adds time. You get one written price, free of hidden fees and good for three months. When we curb on the same visit as a driveway or walk, you skip a second mobilization charge.

- Slant mower-edge versus square profile
- Plain, integral color or stamped texture
- Removing old plastic, steel or brick edging

Concrete Curbing Questions
How much does concrete landscape curbing cost?
Our curbing price depends on the total length, the profile, plain or colored concrete, and any stamping. Tight curves and extra bed prep add some time. We give you a written price after a free visit, and adding curbing to a driveway or walk job saves a second mobilization charge.
Who is the best company for concrete curbing in Montgomery County?
We'd pick a crew that preps the ground before the machine starts. We set our curb on firm, compacted soil, plan where beds drain, cut control joints, and seal colored work, and our owner-run company holds a 5.0 Google rating.
Will concrete curbing crack?
Any concrete can show hairline cracks. We cut control joints along the run so shrinkage happens at the joints, and we set the curb on firm ground so it doesn't tilt as soft soil settles.
Can you curb around my trees?
Yes. We keep tree rings wide enough to stay in the topsoil and away from structural roots, and we don't trench close to a trunk you want to keep.
Does curbing stop St. Augustine from creeping into the beds?
It slows it a lot. We set the curb a little above the grass so runners have to climb it, which makes them easy to trim back.
Can you match my curbing to my brick or my new driveway?
We bring color samples to the site visit. Plain gray matches new concrete, and tinted curb in tans and browns can pick up the brick or the mulch.
How long does concrete curbing last?
Far longer than plastic or steel edging, because ours is one piece of concrete set on firm ground. Colored and stamped curb looks best when we reseal it every so often, the same as any decorative concrete.
Do you replace broken curbs in parking lots?
We do. On commercial lots we cut out damaged sections and form and pour new curbs tied to the paving beside them.
