So, you need to mark the boundaries of a landscape or garden on a residential project. Or, maybe you need to do some commercial curbing. Bricks may look nice, but they may not be right for the job. There are other plastic and metal sheet alternatives, but again, those may be better suited for another job. And, while railroad ties have their place, you need the durability and strength of concrete. Big Power From Lil?EUR??,,????'??? Bubba Lil?EUR??,,????'??? Bubba was designed to create continuous and decorative concrete borders, allowing the user to follow any existing landscape bed design with a turning radius as tight as 14 inches. The Lil?EUR??,,????'??? Bubba is a plunger-style landscape curb machine. The E.P. Plunger drive creates a consistent flow of concrete with each revolution (2.25 inches every 1.2 seconds). The motion of the plunger prevents flat spots and weak area, by scoring the concrete as it packs it into the mold. Furthermore, the plunger moves 7 inches upward into the hopper, agitating concrete with each revolution, thereby eliminating concrete bridging that would otherwise occur. Lil?EUR??,,????'??? Bubba has multiple applications. However, it is most commonly used for curbing around homeowner landscapes ?EUR??,,????'??+ the concrete provides a durable edging that is permanent and serves as an effective root barrier, as well. Once in place, the edging is stable ?EUR??,,????'??+ it will not move, rot or separate. Becoming the Edgemaster Edgemaster is a versatile concrete curbing machine, allowing the user to create a range of different landscape shapes. Edgemaster can also be used to install any commercial car-park work on asphalt or concrete parking areas. Originally developed in Queensland, Australia approximately sixteen years ago, the Edgemaster has undergone significant modifications and improvements. Much of the Edgemaster?EUR??,,????'???s success can be traced to its simplicity in design. The machines look very simple and make the job easy for the operator. They are almost maintenance free, because there are few moving parts, so there is little wear on the mechanism. The machine offers ease of use for its various functions. There are six popular curbing profiles that come standard with the Edgemaster. The profiles included offer a sloping border, a mower border, a border edge, a lane divider, a high-profile border, and a car park border. To change from one form to another takes less than a minute, and users don?EUR??,,????'???t need to change the ram plate when changing profiles. Each profile is supplied with two hand tools, each also specially designed as right or left-handed. Edgemaster has a ?EUR??,,????'??slip-steering?EUR??,,????'?? mechanism which allows for a 20-inch, tight turn radius. Also, there is a patented, pendulum-mechanical action that results in a quality concrete mix.
