Expert Kerbing Installation Across Monaghan, Cavan, Meath & Louth
Professional kerbing is one of the most effective ways to enhance the appearance and functionality of your outdoor spaces. F & G Mc Caffrey has been installing quality kerbing throughout Monaghan, Cavan, Meath, and Louth for over 30 years, delivering clean, defined edges that transform driveways, pathways, and garden areas.
Well-installed kerbing doesn't just look good - it serves important practical purposes. It contains loose materials like gravel and decorative stones, prevents grass from encroaching onto paved areas, and creates clear boundaries that protect your landscaping. When done right, kerbing adds value to your property and reduces ongoing maintenance.
Kerbing Solutions for Every Application
We provide comprehensive kerbing services for residential and commercial properties:
- Driveway Kerbing: Create defined edges for gravel, tarmac, or paved driveways
- Garden Edging: Separate lawns from flower beds, paths, and patio areas
- Decorative Kerbing: Enhance your property with attractive stone or coloured concrete kerbs
- Dropped Kerbs: Vehicle access points for driveways and entrances
- Radius Kerbs: Smooth curved sections for rounded corners and circular features
- Path Edging: Define walkways and footpaths around your property
Quality Materials for Lasting Results
We use a range of high-quality kerbing materials to suit different styles and budgets. Standard concrete kerbs offer excellent durability and value, while natural stone kerbs such as granite or limestone provide a premium, timeless appearance. We can also source specialty kerbs in various colours and finishes to match your existing landscaping.
The Importance of Proper Installation
Kerbing is only as good as its installation. Poorly installed kerbs will shift, crack, and fail prematurely. That's why we take the time to do the job properly - excavating to the correct depth, laying a solid concrete foundation, and properly haunching each kerb for maximum stability.
Our attention to alignment is meticulous. Using string lines and spirit levels, we ensure every kerb is perfectly positioned, creating smooth, flowing lines that look professionally finished. Whether you need straight runs, gentle curves, or tight radius corners, we have the expertise to deliver flawless results.

How We Work
Our proven process ensures quality results every time.
Site Assessment & Quote
We visit your property to measure up, discuss kerb styles and positions, and provide a detailed quote. We'll advise on the best kerbing solution for your specific needs.
Preparation Work
We excavate a trench along the kerb line to the correct depth and width. The trench is then filled with a concrete foundation to provide a solid base for your kerbs.
Kerb Installation
Each kerb is carefully bedded into the concrete and aligned using string lines and spirit levels. We ensure consistent heights and a smooth, flowing line throughout.
Haunching & Finishing
We apply concrete haunching to the back of each kerb for additional strength, then clean up the site and ensure everything is perfect before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our kerbing services.
What types of kerbing do you install?
We install a variety of kerbing types including standard concrete kerbs, decorative kerbs, natural stone kerbs, radius kerbs for curved edges, and dropped kerbs for vehicle access. We can match existing kerbing or recommend the best option for your project.
How long does kerbing installation take?
A typical driveway kerbing project takes 1-2 days to complete. Larger projects or those involving extensive groundwork may take longer. We'll provide a timeline during your quote.
Can you install dropped kerbs for vehicle access?
Yes, we regularly install dropped kerbs for driveways and vehicle crossovers. Note that dropped kerbs on public roads may require council approval - we can advise on the process and work with you to meet any requirements.
Does kerbing need planning permission?
In most cases, kerbing within your property boundary doesn't require planning permission. However, if you're creating a new vehicle access or altering the boundary with a public road, you may need approval from your local council. We can advise on specific situations.
How do I maintain my new kerbing?
Kerbing is very low maintenance. We recommend occasional cleaning with a brush and water to remove dirt and algae. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washers directly on the kerb joints as this can cause damage over time.
