We look forward to working with you! Here are a couple of quick items to cover to prepare for installation of your new curbing / border.
1. ** Final Grade Preparation **
- For new landscapes: Make sure all topsoil is placed and leveled, ready for sod or seed.
- For existing landscapes (retrofit): Complete any necessary grade changes if needed or wanted.
2. ** Sprinkler Head Placement **
- For existing landscapes (retrofit): Mark the location of sprinkler heads within 6 feet of where you want the curbing placed the night before installation. This allows us to work the layout around your sprinkler heads to prevent covering or damaging them.
- For new landscapes: Run funny pipe to where you want the sprinkler heads placed, leaving approximately 6-12 inches sticking out of the ground. This ensures enough length to position the heads next to the curbing the day after installation. Ensure any drip system lines for flower beds are also in place.
3. **Sod Installation Timing**:
- Schedule sod delivery no sooner than 3 days after your curbing install date. If you need sod for your project, ask us about sod delivery or delivery and installation; we can help with this part of your project as well.
- For existing landscapes (retrofits): Mow your lawn 1-3 days prior to your install. We discourage mowing your lawn for one week after your curbing is installed and advise against using a weed eater for two weeks after completion.
5. **Pet Waste Removal**:
***PLEASE REMOVE ALL PET WASTE FROM YOUR YARD*** the evening before or the morning of your install. Some of our crew will be down on the ground on their hands and knees working the curb, so it is greatly appreciated if you did so. PLEASE DON’T MAKE US crawl around in it THANK YOU!
6. **Watering Restrictions**:
- Do not water your lawn the night before or the morning of your install.
- Please ensure clear access to your yard. For backyard installations, we require a standard man gate for access and no stairs. Also, ensure the street in front of your home is clear to accommodate our truck and trailer during installation.
