Abstract:

A method of forming a concrete border and the concrete border formed thereby wherein a plastic tube is filled with concrete, the plastic tube is then configured to conform with a desired path and allowed to harden. The concrete may be cured to an intermediate hardness, whereupon the cross sectional profile may be altered prior to allowing the concrete border to completely harden. Finishing the concrete, to remove air bubbles and excess water from the plastic tube, is easily accomplished, thereby producing a smooth exterior surface of said concrete border. A funnel configured to accept concrete from above and dispense concrete into the plastic tube in a generally horizontal direction is also used, and is provided in a kit with the plastic tube to allow consumers or other users to form professional appearing concrete borders with a minimum of expense.
