Concrete Kerbing Services in Hobart
Kerb and Channel
Straight, accurate kerbs and channels formed to the right profile and levels, so stormwater runs directly to drains and streets look neat and professional. We set string lines and levels so water reaches the drain without ponding along the edge.
Driveway and Garden Edging
Decorative and functional kerbing that keeps gravel, mulch and soil where they belong, giving garden beds and driveways a clean, defined edge that holds up to weather. Coloured or contrasting concrete can turn a plain border into a real feature.
Extruded Kerbing
Fast, consistent kerbing produced by machine for long runs, ideal for car parks, roadways and large developments where speed, uniformity and cost control all matter. A concrete extruder lays a consistent profile quickly, saving time and money across long runs.
Hand Formed Kerbs
Custom kerbs for curves, tight corners and detailed layouts, built by hand with careful forming to give you precise shapes that machines simply cannot manage. We build custom forms for roundabouts, corners and landscaped edges so shapes follow your design.
Commercial Car Park Kerbing
Wheel stops, islands and borders that guide traffic, protect landscaping and define parking bays, built tough enough to withstand repeated vehicle contact. Solid footings and reinforcement let kerbs withstand regular bumps from cars, trucks and mowers without cracking or shifting.
Kerb Repairs
Chipped, cracked or damaged kerbs repaired or replaced to restore proper drainage and a tidy appearance, with colours and profiles matched to the existing street. We saw cut and remove the damaged section, then pour and finish a new one.

Why Choose Our Hobart Concrete Kerbing Experts
Lines Strung Before Forming
Any kink in a long kerb run catches the eye and stays there for good. We peg and string the line carefully before any formwork goes in, taking extra care on curves where small errors are most obvious.
Kerbs That Manage Runoff
Heavy winter rain on clay soil has to be sent somewhere deliberate. We use the kerb line to guide water off the driveway and away from your foundations, rather than letting it wander across the yard wherever it likes.
Extra Strength Where Wheels Go
A mowing strip beside a garden bed and a kerb that delivery trucks will run against need different specifications. We add depth and reinforcement wherever tyres can reach, since that is where plain kerbing usually breaks first.
Bedded On A Firm Base
Kerbing laid on soft or poorly prepared ground settles unevenly and develops a wavy line. We dig down to solid material and set each run on a compacted base so it stays straight through wet winters and dry summers.
Colours and Finishes That Blend
New kerbing has to sit comfortably beside the driveway, paving and garden already on site. We match the surface finish and can add oxide colour where a plain grey edge would look out of place.
Straightforward, Detailed Pricing
Quotes are priced per linear metre according to profile, with excavation, base, reinforcement, concrete and delivery listed as separate items instead of bundled into a single total.

Concrete Kerbing FAQs
Common questions about kerbing in Hobart — cost per metre, matching existing runs, how kerbing helps drainage on clay, and curved profiles.
It's priced per linear metre, and the profile is the main driver — a low mowing strip uses far less concrete than a full kerb and channel, and costs accordingly. Beyond profile, the variables are how much excavation the ground needs, whether the run is straight or curved, whether reinforcement is warranted, and how easily concrete can be got to the line. Rocky ground, steep blocks and tight access in older suburbs all add time. Short runs also carry fixed setup and delivery costs that don't shrink with the job. We measure and quote the actual run after a site visit rather than a rate off a list.
Usually, yes. Where a section has cracked, settled or been broken by a vehicle, we cut back to sound material, form the replacement to the same profile and line, and match the finish as closely as we can. Colour is the part that rarely matches perfectly, because existing concrete has weathered and any new pour starts out brighter. It closes up over a year or two as the new section weathers in. Where an exact match matters, an oxide can be tinted to bring the new work nearer the old, and we'll talk through the options before pouring.
It can make a significant difference, and on clay it's often the main reason to install it. A plain kerb contains water and stops it spreading, while kerb and channel actively collects and carries it to a discharge point. On Hobart's sloping blocks, and through a wet winter, that means runoff leaves in a controlled way rather than sheeting across the driveway, scouring the edges, or ending up against your foundations. We work out where the water currently goes before setting the line, because a kerb in the wrong place can make ponding worse rather than better.
Leave it about a week before anything with wheels touches it, the same as a driveway, and a little longer if it was poured in cold winter weather. Kerbing is a relatively slender section of concrete, so a car or ute clipping it early can chip or crack an edge that would have been fine a few days later. Backfilling against it and reinstating the garden or lawn can generally happen sooner, after a couple of days, provided the work is done carefully. We'll tell you what applies to your run and the weather it was poured in.
Yes, and curves usually look considerably better than a series of straight segments trying to approximate one. We form radii with flexible boxing, which handles most garden and driveway curves comfortably, including the sweeping lines common on hillside driveways. Very tight radii need more forming work and take longer, so they cost a little more per metre, but the result is a continuous smooth line rather than a faceted one. Bring us the shape you want and we'll tell you what's achievable on your site.
