Average National prices for Landscape Curbing in 2025

2025 Landscape Curbing Prices: What You Actually **Need to Know in Colorado and Nationwide**

If you’ve been searching for landscape curbing prices, chances are you’ve landed on pages that give vague estimates or outdated national averages. Some claim prices as low as $5 to $12 per foot. Others lure you in with a low number, only to redirect you to a list of installers who aren’t even in your area.

Let’s set the record straight.

At ABetterEdge.com, we’ve been installing premium landscape edging for over 23 years, and we’re here to provide real numbers, real context, and real insight into the cost of high-quality concrete edging in 2025.

The National Average for Concrete Curbing in 2025

Most national websites are underreporting the true cost of professionally installed curbing. Based on what we’re seeing across the country in 2025, here’s a more accurate breakdown:

Texas: $28–$36 per foot
Florida: $12–$20 per foot
Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana: $18–$24 per foot
Northern Colorado (Ft. Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Boulder, Longmont) : $14–$26 per foot
Southern Colorado (Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Monument, Colorado Springs): $18–$28 per foot

These prices reflect a range from basic curb installs (typically curved lines, no color, no stamping) to high-end work (custom textures, colors, intricate prep work, and detailed designs).

Why the Big Difference in Pricing?

The cost of landscape edging varies because not all curbing is created equal. Here’s what goes into the higher end of the pricing scale:

Site prep: Moving rock, leveling terrain, trenching (Overall Depth, Cleanliness, and Access)
Custom textures and coloring: Adds beauty and boosts curb appeal
Sealing: Optional, but increases vibrancy and durability
Local material sourcing: Using properly engineered mixes that hold up in your climate
Trained staff & insurance: Peace of mind and professional results

When you choose a company with decades of experience, licensed staff, and high-end equipment, you’re investing in quality that lasts.

What About Southern Colorado?

If you’re in our region, here’s what you can expect in 2025:

Basic jobs (no prep, large footage): $18/foot
Average residential project: $22–$26/foot
Premium projects (prep + texture + curves + sealing): $26–$28/foot

Our minimum project size is $2,500. Most projects range between $4,000 and $6,000, depending on footage, prep work, access, and materials.

We service the Front Range of Southern Colorado, including Aurora, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Monument, and Colorado Springs.

Why Are People Still Expecting $12/Foot?

Many homeowners have the $12/foot number in their heads. This may apply if:

The job is over 400 feet
There’s no preparation
It’s a beginner-level install with no curves, color, or customization, there is no clean up or debris removal

But most projects we see are 150 to 500 feet and require:

Custom mixes made on-site
Prep work to remove rock, level trenches
Intricate curves around beds and walkways
Professional finishes and design consultation

We’re not just pouring concrete. We’re creating a permanent landscape feature that enhances your home and property value.

💥 What You’re Really Paying For:

1. Engineered Mix Designs
➡️ Our concrete consistently exceeds 4,000 PSI, with engineered additives built to last through Colorado’s freeze/thaw cycles.
🆚 Be leary of weak mixes (1500–3000 PSI) that crack or fade fast.

2. Onsite Custom Batching
➡️ We mix every batch onsite, ensuring consistency and quality.
🆚 Beware of ‘off-the-truck’ mixes to cut corners.

3. Thorough Site Prep
➡️ We trench, remove old edging, haul off debris, and prep your space for longevity.
🆚 A bid that skips all of that may leave you with a LOT of work on the backend.

4. Custom Textures + Design
➡️ You get artistic, professional finishes designed to match your home and property with High detail attention.
🆚 Low-cost jobs with low attention to detail.

5. Professional Crew + Insurance
➡️ Trained, experienced staff who show up on time, solve layout problems, and protect your property.
🆚 Risky installs from the lowest bidder = zero accountability.

5. Thorough Clean up + Haul off
➡️ Care for your time and your property.
🆚 Quick in/out, which may leave you a lot of work later.

6. Long-Term Value
➡️ Done right the first time = zero headaches later.
🆚 Watch out for costly repairs or full replacements

Where Can You Cut Corners? (And Why You Shouldn’t)

In a market filled with competitors, it’s tempting to go with the lowest bid. But not all concrete is created equal, and cutting corners can lead to big problems later.

One of the biggest hidden differences? Concrete strength.

At A Better Edge, our curbing consistently exceeds 4,000 PSI, core-tested using industry standards developed by professional cement engineers. That means it’s built to last, especially in Colorado’s harsh freeze-thaw conditions.

By contrast, the average curb is rarely tested and typically falls in the 1,500 to 3,000 PSI range. How does this happen? Installers can quietly lower the cement content to reduce material costs, which weakens the concrete — without the homeowner ever realizing it.

This isn’t just a possibility; it’s a widespread issue in competitive markets. And while it might save a few dollars up front, it can lead to:

Cracking and breaking within a couple of years
Reduced curb appeal and premature fading
Costly repairs or total replacement

It should be easy to see that in a market full of options, choosing based on price alone can become a costly mistake.

What You’re Paying For

Here’s what makes up our pricing and why it’s worth it:

Custom mix designs: Engineered for Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles
On-site batching: Ensures color and consistency
23+ years of experience: Our team handles change orders, layout challenges, and design needs in real-time
Professionalism: Insured, communicative, and customer-focused
Environmental care: We respect your property and the environment

This is not commodity concrete work. It’s specialized, artistic, and long-lasting.

🎥 Learn What to Watch Out For (and How We’ve Solved It)

If you’re comparing landscape edging companies, it’s worth watching this short YouTube video. It highlights some common challenges homeowners face after an edging install if the added details are not included in the project:

These aren’t signs of bad intentions — many installers are doing their best with limited training or experience. But without the right process, the results can fall short.

At A Better Edge, we’ve designed our service to prevent these headaches from the start:

✅ We walk the site and plan drainage before we pour
✅ Our team is trained to handle prep and cleanup completely
✅ We use engineered concrete mixes tested for strength and longevity
✅ We don’t cut corners — because we’ve already seen where that leads

Choosing the lowest bid may feel good at first, but if the edging doesn’t last or starts failing after one season, you’re spending more in the long run. Our goal is to do it right once — so you never have to think about it again.

The Truth About Curb Pricing Pages

Most sites you see online are either written by national marketing firms or SEO farms. They aren’t real installers. They list low prices to get clicks, and then direct you to “local pros” who may be out of business, miles away, or simply underqualified.

At ABetterEdge.com, we believe in upfront honesty and real value.
