DIY vs. Hiring a Landscaper
With the right tools and motivation, installing landscape curbing blocks can be a DIY project. Poured concrete, however, is much more complex and requires a professional.
Hiring a professional will incur additional labor costs but may be worth the added peace of mind. This is especially true if you're looking to have poured concrete curbing installed. Even with a concrete block or brick project, a professional will have the experience, equipment, and tools needed to complete the job on time. While searching for a concrete curbing installer near you, be sure to check that they are licensed, bonded, and insured.
