Sunny South Kwik Kerb will ensure that they do everything possible to ensure that your concrete edging is the best it can possibly be. The process that Kwik Kerbers follow, (although different for each job) is out lined below:

Free No Obligation Quote
As there is such a wide range of profiles, patterns and colours available, it is not possible to quote over the phone. We will make an appointment to attend your property and provide a free design and quote. We will advise you on the most suitable and cost effective solution for you.

Site Preparation
For areas that covered by turf (lawn), the design of the Kwik Kerb is painted on the grass with the line marker.

Turf Removal
The turfed area is prepared using the Edge Prep machine. This machine is able to remove grass to a consistent depth on the intended path for the Kwik Kerb®. The turf can then be rolled up to be removed.

Extruding the Kwik Kerb
The Kwik Kerb  operator will fill the Edgemaster machine with the concrete mix, which will then self-propel while extruding the concrete kerbing behind the machine. Adjustments are made with height and steering to ensure a consistent smooth kerb.

Hand Form Work
The Edgemaster will lay the majority of the Kwik Kerb; however there will always be sections that need to be formed by hand. Corners or the end of a kerb between to walls. Kwik Kerb operators are trained to ensure that these sections fit seamlessly into the rest of the machine laid kerb.

Applying Expansion Joints
A cut is made into the concrete at regular intervals.A soft nylon fiber is put in our concrete to help prevent cracking and keep your kerb strong. Expansion joints are placed so that once the concrete has cured and is then subject to ground movement or fluctuating temperatures, any cracking that occurs should be confined to the expansion joints.

Finishing the Kwik Kerb
Kwik Kerb has two main finishing styles EuroStyle (Slate, Rustic Wood and plain colour). These patterned finishes are patented and exclusive to Kwik Kerb Business Owners. To see more of these styles see our Shapes – Patterns & Profiles page.

Your curbing has a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Any areas in question will be replaced or repaired at no charge if the materials we used or the manner of installation by our workmen caused the defect.A few of the items not covered:

1. Any cracking in the curbing due to settlement of the ground beneath the curbing is not covered. Cracks must be wide enough to slip two quarters down into the curb for the replacement of that section to be warranted.The weather in Southern Alberta can change drastically which is hard on concrete,Due to Expansion and contraction it will most likely crack.
2. Cracking or breakage occurring due to driving over the curb with any vehicles or equipment is not covered.
3. We do our best to make sure that the color is true throughout your curbing; however, we cannot guarantee that the curb will match perfectly throughout the entire job. The color of your curb is a close representation of our color chart and will not be a perfect match. Due to the variation in a color pigment products used to color concrete there will be a slight difference in color across the curb when finished. Stamped and Embossed Colors will vary from job to job.It will be different if its a sunny day or a cloudy day,or hot or cold temperatures.
4. For Stamped and Embossed products: Customers should expect some fading, color variation, and spider cracking of the product due to the nature of the stamping and embossing process.
5. No color claims will be accepted if sprinklers are left on or turned on 2 days prior to or 2 days after installation. This excess job site moisture will adversely effect the color of your finished curbing project and is not covered under warranty. Tell tale signs including washed out color, blotchy color and /or abnormally light or dark areas are a direct result of excess moisture at the jobsite and no claims can be honored if such is evident.
6. There will be a color variation relative to the color chart you chose your color from.Or the pictures in the photo album ,or off the internet. Any variation of the color chosen is acceptable. Claims of wrong color or no color in curb can only be evaluated after.

1. Please keep sprinklers, in the area, off for 2 days prior to your installation date and please pick up after your pets before we arrive.
2. Landscape curbing is best installed prior to the installation of irrigation lines, but not absolutely necessary. (Our landscape contractor customers always have us come in prior to trenching so that sprinkler heads can be installed right up against the wall of the curbing and so appropriate coverage areas can be determined.)
3. Please provide access to your job site and keep pets indoors for the duration of the installation.
4. Ensure that all ground work or boulder placement has occurred prior to our crew’s arrival for installation.
5. Be sure to plainly mark all sprinkler heads and lines, telephone wires, cable TV, or other buried items. Sunny South Kwik Kerb is not responsible for any damage by our crew or equipment to any buried items or to unmarked sprinklers.

1. We will install your beautiful new curbing using the highest quality materials and equipment. ½ inch polypropylene fiber mesh is added to every batch of concrete mix for significant added strength and stability.
2. Color is added after the curb has been layed ,like a slurry mix,then poured over the curb then troweled smooth, then stamped ,with a pattern of your choice.When curbing is completed ,or the next day two coats of clear acrylic sealer will then be applied.We make efforts to keep and leave the jobsite clean and neat. During the process some excess concrete may be present around the areas installed, especially at starts/stops and corners. It is very difficult to remove this concrete while it is still wet. After a 24-hour curing period it can be picked up in small pieces and thrown away or crushed by foot and mixed with topsoil.A shop vac also works very good to help clean up some of the mess left behind. Since the curbing crew does not include a return trip in the price of the cubing to do this, we apologize in advance for any type of mess left immediately after installation.

1. Your extruded curbing is set to cure upon completion of the project. The concrete curb does not need to be sprayed or misted with water. Such actions will most likely discolor the curb and claims for discolored or wrong colored curb will be denied. The curb will not “fall apart” or “crumble” after we have left the jobsite. It is perfect, but vulnerable, when we leave. Make sure your neighbors and family members stay away from the curbing after we have left. The most curious of neighbors will approach your curb within minutes of our crew’s departure. Protect your curb.
2. Keep Sprinklers off for at least 2 days following the installation. Excess moisture on or around the curbing will affect the normal curing process. Any excess water around the curbing will hamper the curing process and give it a permanent blotchy look. If it begins to rain within 8 hours after we leave the job, try to cover the curb with plastic. Make sure sprinkler systems are not activated for at least 48 hours. Irrigation, backwash from pool, condensation lines, or rain can damage the curb during the first 48 hours.
3. Take extra precaution to keep pets, children, vandals and objects away from the curb for at least 24 hours. It will be “hard” to the touch at this point, but will still need a few days to completely harden. The curb is like a “sandcastle”. Refrain from testing the “hardness” of the curb.
4. During the first 48 to 72 hours you should avoid direct sprinkler impact on the curbing. Keep water away from curb for 48-72 hours. After 24 hours a mist would not cause any immediate damage, but a sprinkler within a couple of feet could create some pitting in your new edging. And the water itself will discolor your curb.
5. Sprinkler work and landscape work may be started 48 hours after installation; however, caution must be taken as shovels, picks and wheelbarrows can damage the curb for several days while it is fully curing.
6. If you have a landscape contractor or other trade professional working for you, caution them about protecting the curb from damage. If wheelbarrows are used for hauling rock  over the curb, put a mound of dirt over it (6″ over and 12″ on each side) or build a ramp over the curb to keep the weight from cracking it. Never allow a tractor, truck, or any other equipment to run over the curb. Sunny South Kwik Kerb is not responsible for the damage to curbing resulting from any type of traffic.
7. If your curb is damaged after the installation crew has left, we will come back and make the necessary repairs; however, there is a $250,00 minimum charge for this service. We will do the best job possible on this repair, however repairs rarely look as good as the initial extruded installation.
8. During the first 7 days you ought to keep lawn mowers off your curbing. The wheels will probably not damage the curbing, but the metal corners on your lawn mower may scratch or otherwise damage the product during its curing period.
9. During the next couple of weeks you will need to take extra precautions not to damage your curbing. Items such as rakes, shovels, and other gardening tools need to be used with caution near the curbing during this curing period..
10. Some fertilizers and chemicals will stain the curbing as they would any other concrete product.
11. Curbing with color in it may look “splotchy” for up to 30 days while it is curing. This will go away as it cures . Concrete is darker in color when it is first laid due to the water content and will lighten up as it dries and cures. After about 30 days, and when the curb is fully dry, your curb will have a more uniform look to it. Although it may take longer due to excess moisture and watering of the lawn.
12. Cracking – Concrete curbing like any other type of concrete can and will crack. We try to control the cracking with expansion joints every three to four feet. If cracking does occur, it should be in the expansion joint. We experience very little cracking in our products;  A warning, however, is important to note: Repairs can be difficult to make in colored concrete. It is impossible to get a perfect color match. Sometimes the “solution is worse than the problem”. A hairline crack is much less noticeable than a patch or discoloration in the curbing.
