Landscape curbing - Trouble with tree rings when curbing? Here's help! Borderlineusa.com

[@hixtube]

I've really been enjoying your videos I've been curbing for 18 years now. I switched to the curb King twin auger machine. The smoothness of that machine I have made my life so much easier. Zero slag and the curbing Packs up awesome! Makes finishing a breeze

[@borders06]

It would be way too slow for me and i wouldnt want to spend 600$ every 4000 ft to replace the augers. That wouldve cost me 10K last year based on the footage we laid.

[@mikeh.150]

@@borders06 We normally go about 60,000 feet on a set of augers.

[@borders06]

@@mikeh.150 just sent a new sting to someone who had a curb kind twin auger, he told me he had to replace the augers every 4k ft,

[@2Point]

I’m about halfway done. Haven’t laid any concrete yet but I pissed on everything.

[@BensMiniToons]

I saved up a lot of piss for the weekend. But after it got hot in the sun for a few days, using it in the sprayer just smells to bad. is it anything else I can use. My mom threw away my sprayer becuase it stinks like ammonia.

[@jesseison-bowman3964]

Nice work making it look easy like Mike Hadduck Masonry I could see how this could go horribly wrong for a newb

[@borders06]

U can find borderline curbing products on borderlineusa.com. Piss is our name for a troweling aid. It slows evaporation of water from concrete and is also a lubricant so trowels slide easy. Here is Bismarck nd we are at 5.75 a ft for grey curb, no color

[@gabrielmendoza3652]

Thanks for the free knowledge I will attend the university soon as I get these chips up!

[@soapbullet-tq8zf]

Why your concrete so smooth and my full of rocks and not smooth ? I’m using pre mix concrete in bags.

[@borders06]

you cant use premix concrete for landscape curbing, portland cement and sand is your agg. find the two mixing videos i did on this channel, that will help you alot

[@sinsin1972]

What type of cement are you using with the sand? What is the ratio? It looks really nice and I want to try this on my yard.

[@borders06]

Go to curbuniversity.com and watch the training vids there. There are two mixing videos that will help u

[@Tonepep]

My favorite part is when he sprays it with piss.

[@JH93688]

Is there a video showing how to prep the grass before you put the concrete down?

[@borders06]

sorry for the late response, i believe yes i do, we use a bedscaper that creates a 9 inch path, grinds the grass into a mulch, easy to then take out.

Here a tip for you guys, make the ring the size of the canopy!

[@borders06]

Thats impossible most of the time. Really depends on what kind of tree.

[@Axethales]

@@borders06 Exactly. I have tree canopies so large yo could retire laying a ring.

[@marionamewontwork2681]

think you mean the expected size of canopy of growth after 50-100 years? Most people get rings put on young saplings like you see on the video. All tho Im sure theyget many big tree jobs as well. Even then trees keep growing until they die in most cases.

[@das250250]

When he says spraying it with "piss" , is that urine ? lol

[@johnrosado9245]

What is the concrete mix you use? Can you make a video on how you make it. Thanks

[@borders06]

Im on it, i will take the go pro with me the next couple days and start to make a video.

[@borders06]

There r 2 mixing vids on our page now.

[@roberta5948]

I believe the best mixture is 3 parts mason sand, 1 part Portland cement. Mix them together dry then add just enough water to dampen the mix. You dont want it runny.

[@Frxstynah]

I started cutting off the end a ways where it starts to where the curb levels off and when I come around to connect my circle it meets right up so I don't have to hold up the form 😊

[@SeeLevelBus]

I mastered that in 1991

Cool machine!! Why not make the machine with a curve built in? Or make the forming area adjustable? and you make operating the machine look easy and I am sure it's like wrestling a bull.

@@borders06 Please, say Me. What solution do you spray the curb when it gets a little dry? Is it the same solvent with which you dissolve the powder? Why is it pink? Sorry, if I write poorly, I am from Russia and do not know the language well)

[@borders06]

Hi, thanks for the question. It is more of a troweling lubricant, it also slows the evaporation of water to u have more time to work. It wont be a solvent. Its pink so u can tell what it is in your sprayer so u dont grab the wrong one. Where in Russia are u from?

[@artlands_ru]

@@borders06 oh, how great that you answered so quickly) Yes, I'm from Russia. City St. Petersburg. And this year I bought a curb machine. And now I am tormented by many questions on this subject. And your channel turned out to be a real treasure for me. Because in my country almost no one makes such borders, and there’s simply nowhere to learn. I studied your videos with a translator for almost 10 hours, starting from the very first video, and found many answers. While stopped at this video "Ends, downspouts, and drainage for curbing." Thank you very much for that. Around 2010, an American company (Lil Bubba) tried to develop this area in my country. But now I do not see their branches. If you return to the question of urine :) Can you say what is in its composition?

[@borders06]

Haha, welcome!! I have another place for you, If u are on facebook I want you to search.... the landscape curbing network It will pop up as a private group.

That's up to the homeowner, we dint do landscaping.

[@samlogosz8422]

This concrete WILL crack in many pieces. No rebar and sitting on top of the ground going through freezing and thawing cycles. The concrete should be at least 6 inches into the ground.

[@borders06]

Is that what u do when u install landscape curbing? Or are u just a concrete guy. This isn't structural, we put expansion joints just like u. It is bed edged 1 inch into ground and is supposed to flex with movement of ground. Not sure where u live but we do this everyday all summer for 20 yrs in North Dakota, can show u as much curb u like thats been down more rhan a decade without any issue.

[@yolysab3899]

I think you are doing doble work because you are using the heavy machine, then you still need to go in your knees to give the finish touch. Better do it in old fashions way and you will save material, time and also no need to rent a machine. This is my humble opinion.

[@borders06]

So ur saying just use boards and form it up? Have a cement truck deliver or just hand mix it? U can't rent these machines. We lay 200 ft an hour with this and a professional crew that does it every day. 3500 to 4000 ft a week. If u can hand form and do it the old fashioned way that much a week then ur a god. Its like telling a landscape crew to not use a skid steer and shovel and use wheelbarrows because its the old fashioned way.
