Concrete edging is a popular choice for its strength, versatility, and longevity. Whether poured in place or installed using pre-formed sections, concrete borders are designed to resist freeze-thaw cycles common in northern Wisconsin. These borders are fully customizable in terms of texture, profile, and color, making it easy to match your landscape design. With a clean, mower-safe edge, concrete offers a durable and low-maintenance solution that enhances both function and style.
For a timeless, organic look, natural stone and brick edging brings structure and character to any yard. Materials like flagstone, fieldstone, and brick offer a range of aesthetics—from rustic to formal. These materials can be dry-laid or mortared in place, depending on the desired finish and stability. Stone and brick borders blend beautifully with native Wisconsin landscapes, creating elegant transitions between flower beds, lawns, and walkways.
Modern edging solutions like metal, plastic, and rubber provide flexibility in both design and budget. Aluminum and steel are excellent for achieving clean, straight lines and contemporary appeal. Recycled plastic is a cost-effective, weather-resistant option that’s ideal for curved or irregular garden beds. Rubber edging is particularly useful in high-impact areas, offering durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking or chipping in cold climates.
At Kastern Contracting, our installation process is designed to deliver long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep. We begin with a thorough site inspection, taking into account soil type, drainage patterns, and seasonal weather impacts unique to Superior. Each edging project includes precise grading and excavation, followed by the addition of a compacted gravel or sand subbase to promote proper drainage. The selected edging material—whether concrete, stone, metal, brick, or plastic—is then carefully placed, aligned, and leveled to create a seamless transition between lawn and garden. Final touches may include sealing, joint reinforcement, or UV protection, depending on the material. When it comes to maintenance, each material has different needs.
Our spring and fall cleanups prepare your landscape for changing seasons—removing debris, pruning overgrowth, and restoring neatness across your property.
We work hand-in-hand with our hardscaping team to incorporate patios, retaining walls, walkways, and fire pits into your landscape for a seamless, functional design.
Keep your edges looking their best year-round?
To maintain the strength and appearance of your decorative edging, it’s important to inspect concrete and stone borders annually for cracks, shifting, or other signs of wear. Reapplying a high-quality sealer every few years helps protect the surface from moisture, staining, and freeze-thaw damage. Routine cleaning with mild soap and a soft-bristle brush can remove moss, dirt, or discoloration, keeping your borders looking sharp and well-maintained year-round.
Wisconsin’s changing seasons can impact your edging if not properly maintained. Spring thaw may loosen or displace unsealed edges, while intense summer heat can cause materials like concrete or metal to expand. In autumn, fallen leaves often trap moisture around the edges, which can lead to staining or early deterioration if not cleared regularly. Staying ahead of these seasonal changes helps protect your investment and extend the life of your landscaping.
Timely repairs can prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Contact a professional if you notice cracks wider than ¼ inch, loose or tilted edging segments, or visibly worn or discolored sealants. Persistent weed intrusion through or around the edging may also signal a failure in structure or installation. Addressing these concerns promptly ensures your landscape remains both attractive and functional.
Stay inspired and add value with modern styles:
Decorative landscape edging isn't limited to straight lines. We design and install unique border shapes to match your landscape style—from meandering beds that flow with organic gardens to geometric layouts that bring order to formal landscapes. Tree rings and circular beds are also popular, often accented with metal or brick materials for added texture and contrast. These custom shapes help define spaces, guide the eye, and create a cohesive outdoor look.
Today’s landscape edging trends focus on combining beauty with function. Mixed-material designs—such as stone paired with steel—offer visual interest and durability. Tinted concrete edging can be matched to mulch or hardscape tones for a seamless look. Reclaimed brick layouts are making a comeback, bringing rustic charm and sustainability to modern gardens. For added atmosphere, some clients opt for edging designs that incorporate low-voltage lighting, creating a striking effect after dark while improving safety and visibility
