Houston Curber Needs Advice


I do decorative concrete and have a little tiny landscape curbing machine. I want to get an entry level machine so I can start doing parking lot curbs. I do get a lot of calls about commercial curbing, not the curb and gutter just the 6x6. They only want labor and machine and the rebar is already in place, this placed on top of a concrete parking lot. The issue is the price per foot. Here in Houston for 6x6 or 6x8 parking lot curb for machine and labor only is 1.00 per foot or less.
What machine can I use? A curb-tec or miller? What do you guys get for similar jobs?

Re: Houston Curber Needs Advice


I have used a Power curbers 150 for the last 12 years. Great machine and produces a nice product. We mainly use it for asphalt curb and get about 6 dollars a linear foot for a complete product. For the larger curb and gutter work we use the 5700B machine, a very different machine.
