How to Take Great Photos of Your Curbing Work for Online Promotion

In the world of decorative concrete and landscape curbing, photos are everything. A clean, professional photo can instantly grab attention, attract new customers, and showcase the craftsmanship behind your work.

Whether you’re posting to Facebook, Instagram, or your business website, the right photo makes your work sell itself. Here’s how to take great photos of your curbing jobs — even if you’re just using your phone.

1. Clean the Area First

Before taking photos, make sure the curbing and surrounding area are spotless.

  • Blow away dirt, leaves, and debris.

  • Wipe off any excess sealer or water spots.

  • Trim nearby grass or plants for a tidy look.

✨ Pro Tip: A clean background makes the color and texture of your concrete stand out beautifully.

2. Shoot During the Golden Hours

Lighting can make or break your photos. The best times to shoot are:

  • Morning: 1–2 hours after sunrise

  • Evening: 1–2 hours before sunset

Soft, warm light during these times highlights textures and natural color blends. Avoid the harsh midday sun—it washes out details and causes glare.

3. Use Angles That Show Depth and Texture

Don’t just shoot from above. Crouch low and take photos at a 45° angle along the curb line. This shows off texture, pattern, and the flow of your work.

Take several shots from different directions to find your best angles.

4. Highlight the Details

Get close! Capture texture, color variations, and finish details.

If you’re using CurbArt Creations stamps or tools, include that in your caption:

“This project features the Onyx and Moss Rock Stamps from CurbArt Creations for a natural stone look.”

5. Frame the Scene

Composition matters. Keep horizons level, avoid clutter (hoses, cars, or tools), and let the landscape naturally frame your work.

A well-framed shot looks more professional and inviting.

6. Edit Smart — Not Heavy

Use free apps like Snapseed or Lightroom Mobile to adjust:

  • Brightness

  • Contrast

  • Sharpness

  • Saturation (lightly!)

Avoid heavy filters — you want your concrete colors to look true-to-life.

7. Add Your Brand Touch

Add your logo or watermark in the corner of your image. This not only protects your work but helps customers recognize your brand instantly when your images are shared online.

8. Tell a Story With Your Post

When sharing on social media, pair your photo with a caption that tells a story:

“We used the Sierra Split Stamp for this decorative garden edge. A simple detail that completely transforms curb appeal! 🌿 #CurbArtCreations”

People remember stories — not just photos.

Final Thoughts

Your curbing work speaks for itself, but great photos ensure everyone else hears it too. By taking time to capture your projects the right way, you’ll create a strong online portfolio that attracts new clients and shows off your expertise.
