Using a landscape curbing machine involves preparation, operation, and finishing. Here is a step-by-step guide to the key phases.

Phase 1: Preparation & Setup (Most Critical)

Proper setup directly determines the final result.

1. Plan & Mark: Clearly outline the desired curb path using string lines, spray paint, or a garden hose. This is your guide.
2. Prepare the Base: Excavate a shallow, level trench (about 10-15 cm deep and slightly wider than the curb) along the marked line. Fill it with a compactable base material like road base or gravel, and compact it firmly to create a stable, unyielding foundation.
3. Mix the Concrete: Prepare a semi-dry, zero-slump concrete mix. The consistency is crucial—it should hold together when squeezed but not be soupy. Wet mixes will fail. Add color hardener or integral color at this stage if desired.
4. Position the Machine: Place the curbing machine at the starting point, aligning its guide wheel or edge with your string line. Ensure it is stable and level.

Phase 2: Operation & Paving

5. Load & Start: Fill the machine’s hopper with the mixed concrete. Start the engine. The auger will move the mix toward the mold.
6. Begin Paving: As concrete is extruded from the mold, slowly walk the machine forward along your guide line. The machine’s weight and the extrusion process will form the curb. Maintain a steady, slow pace—rushing causes inconsistencies.
7. Continuous Feeding: Keep feeding concrete into the hopper to ensure a continuous flow without gaps. Have helpers for mixing and feeding for longer runs.

Phase 3: Finishing & Curing

8. Initial Shaping & Joints: Immediately after extrusion, use hand tools to smooth the top and sides, add texture, and cut control joints every 0.6-1.2 meters to control cracking.
9. Edge Sealing & Cleanup: Use an edging tool to create a clean seam between the new curb and the ground. Clean any spilled concrete from surrounding surfaces before it sets.
10. Curing: This is essential for strength. Keep the curb moist for at least 3-7 days. Cover it with plastic sheeting or burlap and mist it regularly. Avoid any stress or foot traffic on it for a minimum of 48 hours.

⚠️ Key Pro Tips & Safety

• Practice First: Always do a test run on a hidden area or scrap lumber to get a feel for the machine’s speed and the correct concrete mix.
• Safety Gear: Wear safety glasses, gloves, sturdy boots, and hearing protection.
• Mix Consistency is King: The #1 cause of failure is concrete that is too wet. It will slump and lose shape.
• Weather: Avoid curbing in extreme heat, direct sun (which dries concrete too fast), or when rain is expected.
