The Result

Drainage and Edge Definition That Does Its Job

Curbs and gutter pans serve a concrete operational function on commercial sites — they collect and direct surface water to catch basins, prevent vehicles from overrunning landscaping, and define the parking surface edge so it doesn't erode at the boundary. A well-designed curb and gutter installation makes the whole site function better.

Drainage Improvement

Adding gutter pans or repositioning drainage routes to address standing water issues in existing lots or commercial sites.

ADA Curb Cut Installation

Cutting and rebuilding curb sections to create accessible curb ramps as part of ADA compliance work.

Development Site Grading

Technical Standards

What Matters on Curbs & Gutters Projects

Curb Type for the Application

Barrier curbs (vertical face) contain vehicles and work in standard lots. Rollover or mountable curbs are used at entrances, driveways, and areas where vehicle overhang is expected.

Gutter Pan Slope

Gutter pans need a minimum slope to move water to collection points — typically 0.5–1% longitudinal slope. Flat gutters collect standing water and deteriorate faster.

Connection to Drainage System

Curb and gutter only solves the drainage problem if it connects to a properly designed system — catch basins, drain inlets, or other collection infrastructure.

Curb Reveal Height Consistency

Curb reveal (the visible height above the lot surface) should be consistent along a run. Inconsistent reveals indicate the lot surface wasn't graded correctly before curb installation.

Expansion Joints for Freeze-Thaw

Curbs need expansion joints at regular intervals. Sections without joints develop crack patterns that allow water infiltration and accelerate freeze-thaw damage.

Raytown & Southeast KC

Local Conditions That Affect This Work

KC's freeze-thaw cycling causes more curb deterioration than many markets — joints that weren't designed correctly allow water infiltration, which freezes, expands, and progressively damages the section. Clay soil behind and under curbs also contributes to settlement and horizontal movement when soil moisture changes seasonally.

Common Questions

Curbs & Gutters FAQ

What's the difference between barrier curb and rollover curb?

Barrier curb has a near-vertical face — it stops vehicles and directs drainage. Rollover (or mountable) curb has a sloped face that vehicles can drive over — used at driveways, access points, and areas where vehicle overhang is expected.

Can you replace just a section of damaged curb?

Yes. Individual sections can be replaced. There will be visible joints between old and new concrete, and color will differ until weathering evens it out.

Do you do curb and gutter as a standalone project?

We can, though curb and gutter work most often comes as part of a larger parking lot or site project. Standalone curb replacement or gutter pan work is common for existing properties.

How long does curb installation take?

A standard commercial parking lot curb and gutter run is typically 1–3 days depending on linear footage. Individual section replacements are often completed in a single day.

Do you handle the drainage tie-in?

We handle the curb and gutter concrete. Drainage system tie-ins — catch basins, storm structures, underground pipe — may require coordination with a civil contractor depending on the scope. We'll identify what's needed during the estimate.
