What happens here
With the site prepared, the concrete landscape borders are installed. The video shows numerous finished sections and workers using what appears to be a specialized concrete curbing machine (red machine on wheels at 0:27). This machine extrudes continuous concrete curbs directly into the prepared trench. A cement mixer is used to prepare the concrete mixture, which is then fed into the curbing machine. The machine forms the concrete into a desired profile (e.g., sloped, flat-top, decorative) as it moves along the marked path. Once extruded, the fresh concrete is often hand-troweled and smoothed for a professional finish. Multiple sections are shown completed or in various stages of curing.
Goal: Create durable and aesthetically pleasing continuous concrete borders around garden beds and trees.
