COMPARISON OF INVISIBLE CURBS WITH CONCRETE CURBS

COMPARISON CONCRETE CURBS INVISIBLE CURBS ®
NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION
pickaxe
shovel
wheelbarrow
cement mixer
power supply
trowel
spirit level

spade
wide hoe
tinsnips (or large scissors)
hammer
NECESSARY MATERIAL
concrete curbs
cement
gravel for concrete production
gravel for the base layer
water

plastic curbs
plastic (steel) nails
INSTALLATION PERIOD
excavation for foundation
filling in the base
compacting base
mixing concrete
laying concrete curbs
removal of excavated soil
landscaping after hardening of the concrete

removal of obstructions in the terrain to kerb level
placement of curbs into the desired shape, anchoring with nails

landscaping – without removal of excavated soil
WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING INSTALLATION
not possible at low temperatures (frost, frost anticipated during concrete curing)

at high temperatures must be protected from direct sunlight, and water must be poured during curing process

any conditions (difficult installation in frozen soil)
FUNCTIONALITY
can be completed after curing of concrete – concrete curing time according to ČSN 28 days
(practical concrete curing according to weather conditions, about 3 days)

Invisible plastic curbs – unlike concrete curbs – are specifically designed for installation level with the ground. They can almost invisibly separate different areas, e.g. lawns – bark mulch, turf – gravel..

Invisible plastic curbs make mowing the lawn easier, because they do not prevent cutting the edges of the lawn (see illustration on the left). There is no need to manually cut the edges with a strimmer or shears, as you would with concrete curbs (see illustration on the right).
