Sprucing up your landscape doesn’t have to be expensive. You can make your own concrete landscape curbing with a little plywood and some general purpose concrete in a weekend with this tutorial.
I’ll explain how to create curved forms, and how to pour your own curbing to give your front or back yard landscaping a new look on a tight budget.

How much was the cost of everything? Thank you
Friggin excellent! Thank you! I'm going to use your method!
you are strong
great job 💪🏽✊🏽
who else was looking for skateboarding curb
Great video and great job. Thank you for the video. Question: is it overkill to insert a piece of rebar into the installation? My name is Ted, and I live in Orange County, CA As mentioned in the video, I too like the clean look of concrete for landscaping. However many of the "mow strips" or curbs that I've seen, out here in CA, crumble over time – which is the reason for the rebar question. Thank you again.
Good looking Landscape design
WOW you really did a great job, thanks.
one trick…a bit tedious to some, is to use small dowel rod pieces to use as spacers at the top of the form and brad them in at the top of the plywood where you would put stress relief cuts. Serves double duty, makes for more even sizing, but is tedious — great for those with a touch of OCD.
Nice job. I like your style
Hi. Thank you for your channel! I read on your blog and you use general purpose concrete. The application goes down gray but it looks like it dried white or a limestone color. Did you Color or paint your border? I’m looking for a finish similar to limestone. thank you.
Well done! The design looks great, and you help take the mystery out of concrete work. A project like this might be just right for my new house. Thanks and thumbs up!
You're gorgeous, intelligent, and very creative. I get distracted with you, excuse me. But anyways great idea with this little project
Nice worK! Do you live in a climate where it freezes in winter? If so, how does the concrete hold up to freezing/heaving issues? Any cracking or unevenness so far? Sometimes it takes a few years for this to occur.
just a quick question, how far apart are you putting the stakes? e.g., a 1ft etc before you staple them or are you just going by where ever the support is needed? reason I ask, I was going to attempt to do a small area I have (about 10ft) using old vinyl slates (former patio window curtains) of course the stakes are going to be wood. think it will work?
Good effort and a good job….well done
great video. thx.
There going to crack in a couple years not deep enough.
Great Job!!
You saved yourself a bunch of money here. There is a landscaping company that specializes in this where I live (magic border) and they charge $10/foot to do this. 100 feet was gonna cost me $1000. I could do it this way for about $150 and a weekend or two of time.
Awesome
Good for you rocking out some concrete. Your final product looks much better than others I’ve seen on YouTube. Great effort using a bucket.
thanks for posting your project, it was inspirational!
Oh wow ! I can do if myself too ! I just have to do a 6 foot straight line to make my HOA happy !
Well done! Thumbs up 👍
Good for you! Great job!
Amazing video! ❤️
I like this idea very much😘😘
Wonderful looking . Thanks for sharing the video.
thank you for the video, I am working on this project right now using just regular 2x4s. I didnt mix the concrete just poured it in and misted after. Also added a length of rebar. Trying to decide if i should use plywood to create curves since yours looks so nice.
