More Than Plain Gray

TheDailyTimes.com: Homeowners who want something other than plain gray curbing in their landscape now have a myriad of options thanks to a new Blount County business.
Johnny Bishop, owner of Curb Appeal, said, “We mainly do decorative landscape curbing. It’s like concrete curb but we put colors and designs in it. It looks really good bordering flower beds and driveways and sidewalks. We can do parking lots and stuff like that, too, but I like to do this pretty stuff.”
The decorative curbing takes the place of stone, brick or insubstantial plastic lining materials. Bishop said advantages of the curbing are that it can be tailored to the client’s taste and is a permanent border that weeds and grass will not grow through since it is a continuous line of concrete.
“It’s just like this curbing around the sidewalk only it’s got a little different shape and it’s got a color,” Bishop said. “It can look like stone, brick or tile, whatever you want it to look like.”
Bishop said an integral color is added to the concrete so the material is the same color all the way through. The look of stone, brick, tile, etc., is stamped onto the curbing and sealed.
