Curbs & Gutters
Concrete Curb Contractor for Columbus, OH
Curb and gutter is drainage work disguised as concrete. Its job is to hold the edge of the pavement and carry water along a set flow line to the inlets, and a run that has settled even half an inch can leave a pond across a drive lane all winter. We replace damaged curb and gutter, build new runs, cut and rebuild curb at new drive approaches, and form parking lot islands and edge curbs for property owners, HOAs and general contractors around Columbus.
The work is mostly about grades. Before removal, the existing flow line is measured and the new run is tied into what is staying, so water keeps moving the right way. Failed sections are saw-cut and removed, the base is recompacted, and the new curb is formed and poured, with expansion joints at structures and control joints at regular spacing. Street-side curb is permitted and inspected by the city, and the street side gets traffic control while the work is open.

Questions
Curbs & Gutters questions
Why does curb break apart at the joints in winter?
Water and salt collect at joints and low spots along the gutter, freeze and pry the concrete apart, and plows finish the job. Keeping the flow line true so water drains, using an air-entrained mix and sealing joints at structures all help it last.
How is curb and gutter work priced?
Mostly by linear footage and the curb profile, plus removal, haul-off, base repair, permits, traffic control and how many separate short runs there are. One long run is more efficient than many small patches, and the quote reflects that.
Do I need a permit for curb work?
Anything in the public right-of-way does, including new curb cuts and replacement along the street, through the city or village engineering office. Private parking lot curb usually does not, though site plans may still control it. 811 is called before removal.
Can you match existing curb profiles?
Yes. New curb is formed to the same height and shape as the runs on either side and tied in at a joint, so the line stays continuous for plows and drivers.
How long is a lane or entrance closed for curb work?
Usually a few days per section: removal and forming, the pour, then cure time before backfill and traffic. Entrances are phased so at least one stays open whenever possible.
