Slant Style
|
The slant style became popular in
the 90's because it can be stamped and textured or done in
regular gray concrete as can the curb style. But, unlike the
curb style, it has the unique ability to also hold in gardening
materials because the back of the curb is higher than the front.
The front side of the curb is generally set at ground level to
accommodate lawn mower wheels. The slanted look shows off any
texturing or stamping that may be applied.
Mower Style
|
This style is very popular because
it is installed to both accommodate a lawn mower wheel and at
the same time retain gardening materials because of its higher
back side. It also has great curb appeal because it sets off the
landscaping with a picture frame type of look.
6x4 Style
|
The curb style is generally set at
ground level for lawn mowing. It is very popular in commercial
lawn settings because it handles larger mower wheels and has a
more massive look. It can be installed as regular gray concrete
or it can be stamped and textured. Because it is set at ground
level it is not as easily seen from the street and therefore
leaves a groomed look without seeing as much concrete edging.
6x6 Style
|
This style can be used like the
regular curb style or it can be used as a retainer. The 6X6 is
sometimes the spec that is used by commercial architects and it
is simply placed deeper in the ground. Other applications may
include retention of gravel, gardening materials or other
driveway or walkway situations.
