How Much Does Concrete Landscape Curbing Cost in 2025?

Concrete Landscape Curbing Cost Factors

The price you'll pay for your landscape curbing goes beyond the size of your yard and the type of curbing you choose. The concrete brand, design, landscape type, and local labor rates play a role in determining your curbing project price.

Project Size

The size of your project has the most significant impact on the price of landscape curbing. The more linear foot of curbing you require, the more it will cost. Plain poured concrete ranges from $2 to $7 per linear foot for materials alone, with installation costs coming to $5 to $18 per linear foot. If you opt for stamped concrete, expect material costs to increase from $3.50 to $8.50 per linear foot.

Cement Block vs. Continuous Concrete

Brick or concrete block edging generally costs between $2 and $3 per square foot. Labor and installation add another $5 to $10 per square foot. Exact costs can vary based on material, brand, and the required isolation or reinforcement materials. While cement block edging is quicker and less expensive than poured edging, the blocks often shift over time and require more maintenance. 

On the other hand, poured concrete edging costs between $4 and $5 per square foot. Labor and installation cost more, averaging between $5 and $13 per square foot and varying depending on the project's complexity and size. Materials and installation are more expensive for poured concrete, but it’s more durable and requires minimal upkeep.

Type of Landscape

The type of landscape also affects the cost of concrete curbing. If your property has sleep stops or hills, it will require additional prep work and digging, increasing labor costs. You may also have to budget for the cost to level the yard, which ranges from $1,000 to $3,400. Depending on the design, you may also need to include the price of a concrete retaining wall, which runs between $1,000 and $15,000. 

Curb Cutting 

Curb cutting—the process of installing a ramp or "apron" that connects a home's driveway to a public road—typically costs between $2 and $10 per square foot. Specific apron costs can vary based on the driveway's size and the material used. For example, asphalt curb cutting typically costs between $2 and $5 per square foot, whereas concrete driveway costs can be as much as $10 per square foot.

Hills and Grading

If your property has hills or uneven terrain, your installers must do much more digging and prep work, including grading and ensuring that your property has proper drainage. This may require additional drainage installation costs.

Design

If your curbing includes numerous curves and turns (rather than spanning a straight line), this also requires more preparation and planning and special tools like a saw for cutting the stone. It may also limit your choice of curbing material or significantly increase the price of the material you choose. Creating a curve from solid blocks of concrete, stone, or brick requires a lot more work. For a complex design, you may want to budget for the cost of hiring a landscape designer to plan the project.

Labor

Most local concrete curbing companies charge based on the size of your project. On average, concrete edging costs range from $1.50 to $10 per linear foot. Some companies may charge by the hour, costing $30 to $110.

Landscape Curbing Cost by Type

When it comes to landscape edging, you have several concrete options, each varying in price, properties, and appearance. 

Precast Concrete Blocks

Precast concrete blocks cost an average of $10 per square foot, with prices ranging between $7 and $13 per square foot. Like poured concrete, precast blocks are extremely durable and among the most affordable options. Precast blocks are easy to install, as there's no need to use a form. The blocks are precast, so achieving smooth curves or complicated patterns may be difficult.

Poured Concrete Curbing Cost per Foot

Poured concrete landscape curbing costs an average of $13.50 per square foot, with most people paying between $9 and $18 per square foot. This popular option is affordable, extremely durable, and requires little maintenance. Poured concrete doesn't rot, warp, or separate, and if you do happen to chip it, the damage can easily be repaired.

Decorative Concrete 

Decorative concrete costs around $18 per square foot, ranging from $8 to $28 per square foot. It's more expensive than other concrete types because it's aesthetically pleasing rather than purely functional. You can get decorative concrete stamped to mimic the look of stone, brick, wood, slate, cobbles, or fossils.

You can also go for textured concrete, which may be patterned, grooved, stenciled, or engraved. Alternatively, you can choose colored concrete, which can be tinted in any color and have marbling effects added.

Alternative Landscape Curbing Materials

In addition to concrete, several other materials, including brick, steel, stone, granite, and wood, can be used for landscape curbing. Their prices, aesthetics, and installation complexity vary.

Brick Block

Brick blocks cost an average of $10 per square foot, with most people paying between $7 and $13 per square foot. Simple brick blocks are affordable, durable, easy to install, and can last decades. Enhance the appearance of your landscape edging by choosing different colored or textured bricks. 

Steel

Most people spend around $11 per square foot for steel landscape curbing or between $7.50 and $14.50. It's long-lasting and durable, easy to install, and fairly unobtrusive. It's impenetrable, so it won't absorb water and isn't likely to rot, warp, or grow mold.

Stone 

With an average cost of $26 per linear foot, most people pay between $12 and $40 for stone landscape curbing. More common and softer stones, like limestone and natural rocks, are readily available at the lower end. Bluestone, quartzite, and slate are popular but costly options at the higher end.

Granite 

Granite landscape curbing costs an average of $27.50 per linear foot, or between $20 and $33 per linear foot. Granite curbing costs more because of its high-end, natural look. It's also incredibly durable, lasting for decades with no maintenance. Granite landscape edging can lift the look of your outdoor space.

Wood 

Wood landscape edging typically costs $31 per square foot, ranging from $12 to $50 per square foot. With pressure-treated pine and cedar at the low end and exotic hardwoods like Ipe and Brazilian cherry at the high end, wood is a costly but attractive option. 

Wooden edging has a rustic yet luxurious look and feel that highlights your dedication to creating a truly exceptional space. Even exotic hardwoods need maintenance to keep them looking their best. Less costly woods like cedar and pine require sealing every three to five years to prevent insect damage and rot from setting in.

Does Installing Landscape Curbing Increase Home Value?

Landscape curbing may increase your home value depending on your location, design choices, and current market conditions. A well-landscaped yard is an important selling feature for many potential buyers and can increase property values by up to 20%.

High-quality landscape curbing enhances the curb appeal of your home and signals to buyers that the property is well-maintained. Opting for durable materials like concrete adds value, offering prospective homeowners a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.

Budgeting for Concrete Landscape Curbing

Concrete landscape curbing costs vary significantly depending on the project size, materials, and labor fees. To keep your project budget-friendly, consider the following tips:

• Opt for simple precast concrete blocks rather than decorative or custom designs.

• Compare quotes from multiple landscape curbing companies to find the most cost-effective option. 

• Check local hardware stores for discounts or promotions on materials.

• Combine the cost of landscape installation projects with curbing to make the most of labor fees.
