I've begun to notice that more and more homeowners are putting the finishing touch on their landscapes by having concrete landscape curbing professionally installed. As you might imagine, I never see it installed in new homes...only homes that have mature or somewhat mature landscapes.

If you choose to have landscape curbing installed, it's a sign that you are fairly sure that you are happy with your landscaping end result and ready to end this chapter. Although...are you really ever sure that you're truly finished? That's a question that only you can decide.

If you are in the midst of a sea of ideas trying to figure out what you really want as a unique border in your new or revamped landscape plan to set your yard apart from the crowd, how about incorporating a brick edging configured in a sailor curb course.

Even better...bring some color into the mix by using several different colors of brick for interest.

I invite you to see the results that you can achieve incorporating character-rich, authentic handmade brick in the photos I've taken on-site at the English cottage home that I've written about here on numerous occasions.

This is brick edging done right!
