Custom Curbing: Framing Your Landscape

Jack Thigpen is one satisfied customer.

The longtime local high school and college basketball coach decided to hire Custom Curbing to add a concrete landscape border along his flower beds in his front and side yards.

“Ann and I saw a picture of Custom Curbing in a Lincoln Parish Journal advertisement a couple of years ago and really liked how it looked,” said Jack. “We called Aaron Cash, he came to our house and suggested options and colors we could use. After discussing this with Aaron we decided to install Custom Curbing around our flower beds.”

And according to Jack, he sure is happy he did.

“We love the way it looks,” said Jack. “It really enhances the appearance of our front yard. The curbing also makes weed eating around the flower beds so much easier.

“Aaron and his crew were friendly, very professional, easy to work with and did a wonderful job installing the curbing. I highly recommend Aaron and Custom Curbing. I think anyone will be highly satisfied with how it adds to the appearance of their yard.”

Jan Grigsby was another happy customer. Grigsby had her flower beds done by Custom Curbing in 2023.

“I saw it from one of my neighbor’s houses, and I loved it,” said Jan. “It has defined my yard. I can’t tell you how many people have come by and said, ‘Your yard looks so good.’ It has really defined my yard. I also got him to do my backyard. It has really made all the difference.”

Custom Curbing is owned by Aaron Cash and is based out of West Monroe. The company has been around for almost three decades and is making a splash in Lincoln Parish.

“Basically, we put really nice borders around flower beds,” said Aaron. “The business was established in 1996, so we have been serving northeast Louisiana for almost 30 years. It’s like adding a beautiful frame around your landscape. Our longtime slogan is ‘Frame Your Landscaping.’”

Aaron said much of the business comes from neighbors seeing the finished product at other neighbors’ houses. And based on his clientele’s satisfaction, it’s understandable.

“They are so great,” said Linda Tuten, another satisfied customer, in regard to Cash and his Custom Curbing team. “They are some hard-working guys. They came in and really got after it. They are so polite. They clean up after the job is over. They don’t leave a mess. They are so professional and friendly.”

The hits just keep on coming.

“I am so pleased,” said Jan. “When I go outside, I look at it and just smile. They did such a super job. So many people have said, ‘Oh, Jan. Your yard looks so much better.’ And Aaron and his guys were so pleasant to work with during the process.”

Aaron said that at the end of the day, it’s all about the client being happy with the finished product.

“We typically stick with earth tones; tans, and browns, and greys and charcoals,” said Aaron. “We want to use colors that will be in style for years to come. Typically, that is earth tones. I see what their needs are and give them my advice on what would look better and how to alleviate some problems such as beds washing out or the grass encroaching in the beds.

“We also remove lots of dangerous metal edging that has become rusty and jagged and replace it with our concrete border system. We figure out the best designs and go from there.”

According to Aaron, a “typical” job costs between $1,200 and $1,500, but the price can vary depending on style/color of curb, amount of ground prep, drainage work, root work, travel distance, number of areas, etc.

An average job can be completed within a day.

“We have had multiple people comment on our yard, saying how great it looks,” said Linda. “We highly recommend them anytime anyone asks.”
