Learn how to build concrete landscape edging with this DIY guide! Building a DIY Concrete Garden Curb is a great way to separate your garden from the rest of your yard. Additionally, building your garden curb edging out of concrete will ensure that it will last a very long time (unlike wood that will rot or that HORRIBLE plastic edging...).
In this video, I will show you how to:
1. Plan out and prepare the Site for the New Concrete Landscape Edging
2. How to Build the Concrete Forms for the Concrete Garden Curb
3. How to Mix and Pour the Concrete for the Concrete Garden Perimeter
4. How to Install Control Joints so that your Concrete Garden Curb won't have random cracks

I almost always use Rapidset's 24/6 Concrete Mix for my concrete projects since it is easy to work with and cures within 24 hours. However, if you are only pouring a limited amount of concrete, Rapidset's Mortar Mix or CementAll could also work!

Now I can edge like a pro. Thanks.
-
I use pieces of 1inch pvc as the spacers between the forms and just leave them in there and pour on top to make drainage holes. Looks good. Needs rebar though
-
Great job Andrew. You always put out a great show with all necessary, helpful information included. That concrete machine is fabulous and the ATI Team is too.
-
thanks for showing me the way to edge correctly
-
Using a reciprocating saw as a vibrator is a great idea. I would have placed a couple of #3 rebars in there for good measure in case roots push on it as the plants mature. Also, tooling control joints in wet concrete is tedious. I'd finish it smooth and cut them into the green concrete with a diamond (or abrasive) blade in a circular saw. Thanks for the content. It looks great.
-
saw trick was brilliant. I don't do concrete but that looked like a fancy tool until you explained what it was love watching videos like this
-
Very nice and professional job. Such a pleasure to watch how everything is done correctly.
-
Now i can edge all the time thank you

Great content Andrew! You make it look so easy in each video. Just wondering when you’ll be doing a deck project video.
-
New to the channel but love all the tasks. The part for us beginners is the supplies and the right mixing of the concrete. Other than that it is nice to see the finished product on here.
-
