Frequently Asked Questions

If you’ve never had concrete curbing installed before, you’re not alone. Many of our customers come to us with great questions—and we’re happy to answer them. Below you’ll find helpful information about our process, materials, and what to expect when working with Lonestar Edge Works.

  • How long does concrete curbing last?

    Properly installed concrete curbing can last for decades. We use professional-grade mixes and proven reinforcement methods to give your edging the strength it needs to hold up over time, especially in San Antonio’s climate. Our crew also installs control joints to reduce the risk of cracking, so your curbing stays clean and strong.

  • What makes your concrete curbing different from other edging options?

    Unlike plastic or stone borders that shift or sink, concrete curbing is poured continuously on-site. That means it won’t separate, buckle, or wash away. We shape the edging to fit your exact landscape, giving it a smooth, seamless look that’s also functional. You get clean lines, easier maintenance, and a finish that looks intentional—not pieced together.

  • How do you deal with expansive soil in the San Antonio area?

    Expansive soil is a common issue around here, and it can cause shifting and cracking if not handled correctly. While this type of soil can’t be fully eliminated, we do reinforce our concrete in specific ways to reduce movement over time. We use extra care during the ground prep phase to give your curbing a strong base and longer life.

  • What kind of maintenance does concrete curbing need?

    One of the biggest benefits of decorative concrete edging is how little maintenance it requires. We recommend avoiding heavy impact from vehicles or equipment and keeping grass clippings and mulch off the edges when possible. Light cleaning once in a while with a garden hose is enough to keep it looking sharp.


  • Why should I choose Lonestar Edge Works over another contractor?

    We hear from a lot of homeowners who’ve had poor experiences with other contractors—missed appointments, uneven installs, and lack of follow-through. That’s not how we operate. Our team brings real knowledge, consistent communication, and solid workmanship to every job. We show up on time, we explain what we’re doing, and we make sure you're happy with the result before we leave.


  • Can you match the curbing to my home’s exterior or landscape features?

    Yes. We offer a range of integral colors and stamped patterns so you can choose a look that works with your property’s existing design. During your consultation, we’ll bring samples and help you select the best combination to match your style and surroundings.

  • Do I need to be home during the installation?

    It’s helpful, but not required. As long as we’ve finalized your design choices and have access to the work area, we can complete most installations without anyone needing to be home. We always walk through the plan with you beforehand so there are no surprises.

  • How long does installation take?

    Most projects take just one day to complete. Larger or more complex layouts may take slightly longer, but we’ll give you a clear timeline during your quote. We work efficiently and leave the area clean and ready to enjoy.

  • Can you remove my old edging before installing the new curbing?

    Yes—we handle all the prep. That includes removing any existing edging (like stone, brick, or plastic), trimming back the grass, and cutting a clean path for the new curbing. You won’t need to lift a finger.

  • Is concrete curbing a good option for both front and back yards?

    Definitely. We install decorative curbing around front lawns, backyard beds, garden paths, trees, and more. It works anywhere you want a defined, durable border that stays in place and looks great.
