Decorative Concrete Curbing vs Traditional Options: What’s Best for Landscape Borders?

Let’s face it. If you are interested in learning what types of home improvement projects and designs that’s best for you today, you may want to check out several different options before you make your decision. This is especially the case for those of you who want to know the difference between colored concrete curbing and traditional options. Because the decision you make can make the difference between getting the most aesthetically pleasing and durable option for the amount that you invest, you need to pay close attention to the pros and cons of each. 

So, let’s get started by looking at the pros and cons of decorative concrete curbing and the traditional options that have been available in the industry for over 50 years and more.

Traditional Options - Pros and Cons of Each

First of all, there are 3 different traditional options that you can make your selections from and they include black plastic edging, bullet edging and wooden edging. 

Each of these 3 can be classed according to their benefits versus their drawbacks. For instance, the black plastic edging and wooden edging are both considered to be the cheapest alternatives, while bullet edging is competitively priced. Therefore, if your primary criteria for choosing between the 3 options, you may want to consider wooden edging or black plastic edging to be your best choice. 

On the other hand, if you are looking for durability and longevity and not the price, your best option is bullet edging since it is made out of concrete materials instead of plastic or wood. You should also know that each of these will require a substantial amount of maintenance to keep it looking good and pristine. 

Decorative Concrete Curbing

Now that we have discussed the overall benefits and drawbacks of the above 3 traditional options for your landscaping projects, it is time to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of decorative concrete curbing, and stamping concrete landscaping solutions. 

Decorative concrete curbing is quickly becoming the most popular landscaping options for many home and business owners today. Since the decorative concrete option is the most attractive solution, and has the most benefits, this is a decision that is much easier to make. This is because the decorative concrete curbing option normally wins hands down, especially when it comes to its extreme durability, longevity (lasts up to 15 years and more) and it is much more aesthetically pleasing for its curb appeal. Also, when it comes to maintaining this type of newly designed landscape borders, the overall cost can easily outweigh the initial investment of the traditional options.
