Re: Curbing

I just rough screed/form the shape I want with a shorter section of 2x4. Then smooth with a pool trowel.

Re: Curbing

We use the concrete clamps. they come in a 6 inch wide curb or a 8 inch wide curb. they are pretty common around here.

Re: Curbing

A wooden template of the shape of the curb inbetween the forms works nice for roughing out the shape.
