Landscape tips and advice from your local landscapers in the High Desert

Spring Season - The Best Season To Start Your Concrete Projects

4/14/2021

 
Picture
People who do not live in California may be surprised to hear seasons do change. Winter weather conditions may not be as extreme as some other parts of the country, but if you live in the High Desert area or the Inland Empire area, springtime is a welcome relief. As the temperatures begin to rise, it is the ideal time to start concrete projects around your home. 

So Many Options - How To Choose?

When you want to improve your property, it takes careful thought and planning. The two most important factors are the size of your property and your budget. One way to avoid mistakes is to start with one project you know you can afford. It can also be helpful to ask advice from a landscaping professional. 

Depending on your property and budget, consider some popular ideas. If you want to install a driveway, sidewalk or patio, stamped concrete would make a beautiful addition to your property. 

With decorative concrete, your outdoor living area can take on a lovely new appearance. Whether you have trees or a garden, concrete edging can add a special touch to your front yard or backyard. When they are surrounded with concrete pavers, flowers and greenery will have more appeal. 

Attractive - And Practical, Too! 

You surely have a friend, neighbor, or family member whose home is gorgeous because of outdoor concrete projects. However, you may not know there are practical aspects to these improvements, too. Not only will improvements increase your home’s value, it can result in much less work for you. 

While you should not go to extremes with concrete, you will not have as much yard work afterward. Concrete can stop weeds from growing, and your lawn will look neat and clean. You will have more time to enjoy your yard when it requires less upkeep. 

Now Is The Time To Begin!

Whether your property is large or small, in good condition or in need of repairs, there is always room for improvements. Perhaps you only want decorative touches around your flowerbed, pavers to emphasize your driveway, or you want your entire outdoor living space to be transformed for comfort and beauty. Whether you know exactly what you want or are looking for expert advice, you have come to the right place!

It won’t be long til the temperatures rise and you want to spend your free time enjoying the outdoors. Summertime is for relaxing, entertaining, playing, and having fun. You can make sure your yard is ready by talking to us now.

Concrete Driveways - Repair Or Replace?

8/14/2020

 
Picture
Concrete is one of the best choices for a driveway in the High Desert and Inland Empire area because it is so resilient. However, eventually you will notice that cracks have started to appear. When this happens you will be faced with a choice whether to repair or replace the driveway. 

But how do you know which decision is the right one? 

Well, there are a lot of factors that can influence this decision, and a closer look at these are taken below. 

How Big Are The Cracks?

If the cracks are no more than a few inches in length, then you should be able to repair these to solve the immediate problem. If cracks start to appear frequently, and are getting longer each time, then this may indicate that a replacement is needed. 

How Long Ago Was The Driveway Installed? 

If the driveway was installed more than fifteen years ago, then repairs are likely to be a waste of money. This is because it will only be a matter of time before a replacement is needed and so if you go ahead with a repair, you will end up paying twice. 

Was The Damage Caused By Poor Installation? 

At Concrete Curbing HD we pride ourselves on the quality of the work we carry out. However, there are companies out there that are more concerned with making a profit. If damage caused by poor installation is starting to appear, then it is only a matter of time before things start getting worse. 

Is Damage The Only Thing That Needs To Be Considered?

There may be other things that you need to think about when deciding between repair and replace, other than the driveway being damaged. For example, if you make the repair now, there may be a more suitable time for replacement later on when you will not need the use of your driveway for a while. 

At Concrete Curbing HD we would be more than happy to come out and take a look at your driveway. We can offer our expert opinion about whether a repair or replacement would be your best option, and provide you with a quote at the same time. 

But this is not the best part....

This quote will be made without obligation. This means that you have nothing to lose by getting your driveway checked out by us. We are sure that you will be happy with the price that you are quoted, as we are very competitively priced. 

So what do I need to do now?

Have A Care Free, Low-Maintenance Yard With Decorative Concrete

12/17/2019

 
Picture
Most people who are privileged to own large backyards end up utilizing the space by putting up a swimming pool, an orchard, or a vineyard. Other property owners put up a combination of all that or extensive green grass to cover the whole yard. Maintaining these features is expensive and time-consuming.

If you are a busy person with no time to spend on maintaining your landscape, it is much better to establish a low-maintenance yard with decorative concrete. To install decorative concrete in your property, you can seek help from Concrete Curbing HD. We are a leading Concrete & Landscaping Company in High Desert and Inland Empire, CA.

Decorative concrete is mainly used to improve the appeal of a property and its value. However, it still serves its function as an essential part of the property, such as the driveway, walls, floors, and patios. Concrete is transformed into decorative concentrate through the use of various materials that we can apply during the pouring process or once the concrete is cured. These materials include decorative overlays, concrete countertops, polished concrete, and vertical overlays, among others. Some of the different decorative concretes available include:

Stamped Concrete

This kind of decorative concrete adds design and texture to any floor. Our crew can press large molds and stamping mats into damp concrete to leave behind an imprint. Stamped concrete can be used to add customizable designs and patterns, or to imitate the appearance of other flooring materials such as stone, bricks, and wood.

Stained concrete

We can use concrete stains to deposit color deep in the concrete slab. This technique is a relatively permanent coloring option for concrete flooring.

Polished concrete

Polished concrete is a decorative concrete technique which utilizes a chemical densifier applied on the concrete floor to fill out the concrete pores. After the polish is dry, we use a grinder to grind down the densifier into the desired polish. Polished concrete comes in a wide range of finishes and grades.

Colored concrete

To achieve colored concrete, we can apply a dye to your concrete floors. The dye usually consists of pigmented inks, which we mix with solvents such as acetone or alcohol. The solvents help the dye penetrate deep into the concrete floors.

Overlays

You can use overlays both for decorative and restorative purposes. For decoration, you can place overlays as a new layer on existing concrete flooring and then stamp or engrave them with a design. You may opt for overlays if you want stamped concrete, but your budget does not allow you to remove and replace your old concrete flooring.

Apart from the significant appeal, you must be curious to know if decorative concrete has other benefits. Well, it has numerous benefits, but let us look at some of the main ones.

Easy to clean

Debris such as leaves, dust, among other outdoor wastes, tends to build up on decorative concrete. However, cleaning surfaces with decorative concrete is easy.

Incredible durability

Decorative concrete maintains its beauty and superior performance for an extended period.

Easy to install

Decorative concrete is easy to install. During the installation, the daily activities at your property will be interrupted only for a short period since installation takes less time.

With decorative concrete, you can have a stress-free and low-maintenance yard. Remember, it is not just any decorative concrete, but high-quality decorative concrete from Concrete Curbing HD. We are the premier Concrete & Landscaping Company in the High Desert and Inland Empire, CA. The High Desert areas we serve include Apple Valley, Victorville, Jess Ranch, Spring Valley Lake, Pinon Hills, Oak Hills, Baldy Mesa, Barstow, Adelanto, Helendale, Phelan, and Hesperia. We serve Inland Empire areas like Fontana, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Chino, Redlands, Rialto, and Ontario. Talk to us today at (760) 486-7709 for professional landscaping and concrete services.

Decorative Ways to Use Concrete on your Front or Back Yard

11/15/2018

 
Picture
Whether we’re talking patios, pool decks, walkways, driveways or borders, decorative concrete is a hot trend in home landscaping today. The many developments in concrete tools, textures and patterns, stains and dyes have created a new image for concrete as a highly versatile, decorative, durable and cost effective material to use around the property.

Impressive ‘curb appeal’  

  • Decorative concrete creates an impression of individuality and, maybe even affluence, when people pass your home on the street or pull into the driveway.
 
  • Your stamped concrete driveway is durable, low maintenance and easy to clean. It can be made to look like natural stone, brick, cobblestone – there is no end to the number of designs that we can create in concrete today.
 
  • Garden walls are another of our specialties. Textured overlays turn a dull grey concrete surface to a beautiful stone or slate of your choice. We can stain it, add boulders, planters or even give it the rustic look of rough wood.
​
  • When it comes to curbing, as a primary concrete company in High Desert, CA, we can offer you any number of curbing ideas to give your front yard that truly finished effect. Our concrete borders provide a natural barrier to separate your flower gardens from the lawn. They complete the driveway. And they reflect the layout of your landscaping.

A back yard designed for relaxation and entertainment  

  • Your outdoor concrete floor stamped to look like flagstones, tiles or bricks provides the foundation for patio living or pool deck. We can form the concrete to create the shape that fits the area, or curve it to add creative dimensions.
​
  • Laid vertically, concrete can be used to add low walls, a fireplace, steps – all decorated to work with the patio floor. We can even create an outdoor kitchen area.
​
  • A block wall can add privacy, shading and may even be a solution to curbing invasive growth of shrubs and plants. Block walls are created from concrete and curbing materials that add a complementary finish to the yard.
​
  • A retaining wall to control the erosion of uneven ground is entirely functional, but decorative concrete makes it look beautiful, too.
​
  • Rockscaping, or the incorporating of rocks and stones of different shapes and textures, adds great interest to your back yard. We can build rock walls and add stone decorations to concrete structures.
​
  • Curbing to aesthetically separate the various areas of your back yard is where we really excel. Concrete curbing is the landscaping feature that truly increases your property value in addition to the entirely finished look it achieves for your outdoor living design. Decorative concrete edging makes for happy plants. Unlike other materials it’s environmentally sound and won’t leak toxins to impact on your plants.
