EuroStyle - The original slate impression edging and still the best!
Some people ask about the durability of concrete in New England. The frost, the heaving, the movement, will it ruin my concrete curbing? Answer: Not in New England! And here is Why.... To provide the product with room to flex as the ambient temperature changes, control joints are installed every 3 to 4 feet. This allows the curbing to crack in a controlled way when ground movement etc. stresses the curb. A minimum of one part cement to four parts aggregate is used in the concrete mix. This provides a consistently high strength concrete curb. Most curbing is also over-layed with a special, very strong cement sand mixture which makes the surface of your concrete curbing very resistant to scratching, chipping and weathering. (Most alternative curbing companies don't use this method and the result is a very short life for their curbing.) We also have a special sealer applied to the surface of the concrete as it is installed. This sealer adds much strength by slowing hydration, and protects your curbing from stains, reduces fading and makes the surface of your curb very easy to keep clean by simply hosing off.
If you have questions concerning the winter months please give us a call and we will be very happy to work through your questions! Thank you. |
