Who we are

Curbing that looks like it came off the mountain.

Comox Valley Curb Appeal Ltd. installs hand-carved "stone" concrete curbing, colored to look like the natural rock of the Pacific Northwest. No plain rollers or brick stamps: each run is shaped and textured by hand on site.

The company is now owned and operated by Justin Smith of K&K Excavating, so one local crew can handle everything from digging out new beds to pouring the final curb.

  • Poured in one continuous piece, so there are no gaps for grass to creep through
  • Colored to match your home's siding and stonework
  • Free, no-pressure estimates

Our specialty

Hand-carved stone curbing.

Concrete curbing adds instant curb appeal and is close to maintenance free. Here's why it beats metal, brick, wood and plastic edging.

No more edging

Mow right along the curb. The string trimmer can stay in the shed.

Won't shift or rot

Pavers separate, wood rots and plastic heaves. A poured curb stays put.

Pet & kid friendly

No sharp metal edges to rust or catch paws and feet.

Holds it all in

Keeps mulch and rock in the beds and out of the lawn.

Root barrier

Helps stop lawn roots and runners from moving into your gardens.

Looks like stone

Carved and colored by hand to look like natural rock, not a plain concrete strip.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is decorative concrete curbing?

It's a continuous concrete border poured in place around garden beds, trees, driveways and walkways. Ours is carved and colored by hand to look like natural stone.

Why choose concrete curbing over other edging?

It won't rust like metal, rot like wood, heave like plastic or separate like pavers. It keeps mulch and rock in your beds and lets you mow right along the edge.

Can you match the curb to my house?

Yes. We offer a range of stone colors and will help you pick one that suits your siding, stonework and landscaping.

How long does installation take?

It depends on how much curbing you need and how much site prep the yard needs. We'll give you a timeline with your estimate.

Do you do excavation too?

Yes. Through K&K Excavating we can dig out new beds, move rock and gravel, regrade and do other small excavation and site prep jobs.

Do you build retaining walls?

Yes. We build large-block concrete retaining walls with a natural stone face, including excavation, a level compacted base, drain rock and drain pipe behind the wall, and backfill.

Do you resurface driveways?

Yes. If your exposed-aggregate driveway is faded, chipped or cracked, we can resurface it for a clean, even finish without a full tear-out.

What areas do you serve?

Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Campbell River, Royston, Union Bay, Merville, Black Creek, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and the Oceanside area of Vancouver Island.
