Why Choose Decorative Concrete Curbing

At Custom Borders of Iowa, this is where your selected style comes to life. Integral color creates the base color of your concrete curb. Depending on your selected design, we'll then create a traditional smooth finish or apply your chosen roller or custom stamp. Stamped designs can also incorporate a release color to add contrast, depth, and definition.

Release Colors

Add Depth to Stamped Designs

When choosing roller stamped or custom stamped curbing, release colors can be used during the stamping process to add contrast, depth, and definition to the pattern. This helps bring out the details and creates a more dimensional, decorative finish.

Integral Colors

Your Curb's Base Color

Integral color is mixed directly into the concrete, creating the primary color of your landscape curb. Choose from natural tans and browns, warm earth tones, grays, charcoal shades, and more.
