Is rebar recommended in continuous concrete edging?
No, continuous concrete edging is not designed for rebar. However it is not rebar that is put into the edging it is a thin piece of wire embedded in the curbing. It is not recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment to make this modification. The wire will not stop the curbing from moving with the ground when it freezes. The flimsy smooth wire will only bend and slide within the curbing. The wire also has the potential of holding the curbing up when the ground thaws out in the spring making a void underneath the edging which could cause major water problems. Do you offer any warranty? No, due to the harsh climates of the red river valley and clay soils you can expect some cracking in the concrete. However, control joints are set in place to tell the concrete where to crack. Control joints will help the concrete move with the ground when it freezes and thaws.
