How Long Do Edging, Kerbs & Borders Take?
Installation of edging, kerbs, and borders typically takes one to two days, depending on the project's size and complexity. This timeframe accounts for installing various types of materials, such as concrete, brick, and natural stone.
In some instances, curing, especially for concrete and mortar-set installations, may require an additional day. We use tools like vibrating plate compactors to ensure a solid foundation, aligning with industry standards for stability and durability.
Weather conditions can also impact the timeline, with rain potentially causing delays to ensure proper setting and structural integrity. Efficient site preparation, such as soil excavation and levelling, further helps to reduce installation time.
By meticulously planning and executing, we minimise disruption to your property while ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your driveway or patio. Contact us for a detailed consultation and timeline estimation.
