Edging · Winnipeg
Machine-extruded concrete borders poured on site in any curve you want — 24 stamp patterns, every integral colour in stock, and most residential jobs finished in a single day.
Plastic edging lifts. Spade edges close up by July. Brick borders go crooked. Curbing is the version that stays where you put it.
It is extruded on site by machine, so the border comes out as one continuous, seamless piece in whatever shape the bed actually wants — a real curve, not a series of straight segments pretending to be one. That continuity is why it holds mulch in, keeps grass out, and gives the mower a clean edge to run along instead of a line you have to cut by hand every week.
Then it gets finished: an integral colour mixed through the concrete rather than painted on the surface, and a stamped pattern pressed while it is green. Chosen against the house and the existing pavers, curbing reads as part of the landscape. Chosen off a chart with no reference, it reads as a grey line around the garden.
We bring the sample board to the consultation so you can see and hold the colours and the patterns before deciding.
Why homeowners do it
The weekly job of cutting a clean line between lawn and bed disappears permanently. The mower wheel runs on the curb.
A real physical barrier keeps mulch and stone in the bed and grass and creeping roots out of it.
Integral pigment mixed through the concrete, chosen against your brick, siding or existing pavers.
Extruded on site, so the border follows the bed you actually want rather than the one the product allows.
Properly installed curbing lasts decades with essentially no maintenance beyond the odd rinse.
Crisp borders are one of the cheapest things that make a whole property read as looked-after — including to a buyer.
Step one · Profile
The profile is the cross-section — how tall the curb stands and how the face is angled. It decides how the border reads from the house and how easily a mower runs along it.
Step two · Pattern
Texture is stamped into the surface during the pour, so it is part of the concrete rather than a coating. Match the house, match the pavers, or keep it quiet — the guidance below is what we actually tell people at the sample board.
Step three · Colour
Premium pigment mixed through the concrete, not applied to the surface — so it does not wear off the high points. Swatches below are indicative; the real ones come to your consultation.
Champagne, Gold, Bamboo, Buff, Sahara, Sedona and more warm tones. The safest match for beige and tan brick.
Nutmeg, Copper, Rustic, Hazelnut, Biscuit, Chocolate Fudge. Reads naturally against mulch and disappears into planting beds.
Raja Red, Salmon, Egyptian Red, Redwood, Maroon. The classic match for red brick houses.
Shadow Gray, Gray Cloud, Monsoon, Smoke, Midnight Sky. The modern choice, and the one that suits grey large-format paving.
Tiller green at different depths, for subtle natural tones that sit quietly beside lawn and foliage.
Already have curbing, or pavers you want the border to relate to? In most cases we can match or deliberately complement what is there. Send a photo before the visit.
Reds can fade toward pink over time in areas that get full sun all day. If the bed you are edging is south or west facing and unshaded, we will usually steer you to a brown or a deeper red.
We bring samples to every consultation, so you can see and feel the colours and patterns in person before you decide.Where it goes
Residential and commercial. Most properties start with the front beds and end up curbing the whole yard the following season.

How it goes
We measure the run, talk through profile, pattern and colour against your house, and leave you a written quote.
The line is marked and laid out on site so you can see the shape before anything is poured — sod strip and base prep follow.
The curb machine lays a continuous border, colour is integral to the mix, the pattern is stamped while green, and control joints are cut.
Light foot traffic after a day, full cure in about a week. We leave written care instructions and clean the site.
Word of mouth
“The team designed and built our patio last summer. It survived the harsh winter perfectly. Their expertise in Manitoba’s climate really shows.”
“Lawn ‘N’ Order transformed our backyard into an amazing outdoor living space. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. Worth every penny!”
“We’ve used them for 5 years for snow removal and lawn maintenance. Always reliable, always professional. Best landscaping company in Winnipeg!”
Curbing questions
Most projects land between $3,000 and $15,000. The number moves with total length, the profile you choose, and how complex the shapes are — tight curves and tree rings take longer than long straight runs. Commercial 6″ × 6″ profiles are quoted at $19 per square foot. Quotes are free and detailed.
Properly installed curbing lasts 20 years or more with minimal maintenance. There is no annual re-setting, no staking, and nothing to replace the way plastic and metal edging needs replacing.
Some hairline cracking can appear over time — that is honest freeze-thaw behaviour, not a defect. We use a concrete mix designed for Manitoba weather and cut control joints so any movement happens where it is meant to rather than randomly across the face.
Light foot traffic after 24 hours. Full cure takes roughly seven days, and we leave written care instructions covering watering, the first mow and keeping heavy loads off it in the first week.
In most cases yes — we can match or deliberately complement existing colours and patterns. Send us a photo before the visit and we will bring the closest samples with us.
