The most popular material used to date in landscape curbing is concrete, mostly for its cost-effectiveness. A typical concrete curb installation will cost approximately $5 per linear foot. Extra site preparation, custom curb shape design, and color may make the price more expensive; closer to $10 per foot. Asphalt curbs are just slightly more expensive, coming in at around $6 to $7 per linear foot. Other types of landscaping curbings are usually used in special circumstances and are typically more expensive to install. Installation can sometimes take only a few hours for a typical house (around 180-300 feet of edging).
The most inexpensive choice is plastic (poly) edging. In 2010 a 20-foot length costs about $15 to $20. This type of edging can be damaged by mower blades and foot traffic. Recycled composite edging is stronger than plastic and costs about twice as much.Cedar and redwood bender board edging is still available and has the advantage of being very flexible.
