About

Curbing by Design is a Bringing Distinctive Curbing to Northern VA, MD and DC. (might be cool to put a call outs with the text “what is that?” and another with “I want that in my yard!” around the header. I can make these if you need them….

Our family business initially focused upon investment property. Having a long background in masonry, home rehabilitation and earth work (grading, digging ditches, foundations) allowed us to do most of the work for a property in-house.


We invest in the Warrenton and Culpeper areas but live in Oakton VA. All of the properties have gravel driveways and we needed a solution other than using landscape timbers to provide a border to retain the gravel on the driveway (not any different than retaining mulch in a landscape bed). We looked around and found that decorative concrete curbing was an ideal solution to this problem. We had never seen it before.

We bought a machine and started doing curbing on our properties. A lot of people drove by and the same people drove by again and again. They finally stopped, walked over and inquired “what is that?” and quickly followed up with “can you do curbing on my yard?”


That was in late 2020 and what started as a trickle of curbing jobs has necessitated us launching a division of our construction company called “Curbing by Design”.

We feel that there are three things that you need to do excellent work:

The right tools

The right skills

The right attitude

We worked hard on the first one, but had the other two in the bag. Our goal is to quite simply exceed your expectations and enjoy the process of adding the final touch to your landscaping.
