Concrete curbs and gutters provide essential drainage infrastructure and traffic control for commercial developments across Dallas-Fort Worth. Property owners and developers need curb systems that meet city specifications, control stormwater flow, and define parking areas while withstanding vehicle impacts and weather exposure.
Our approach to curb and gutter construction coordinates with civil engineering drainage designs to ensure proper slopes, inlet locations, and capacity for site stormwater management. All work meets municipal specifications for dimensions, slopes, and construction standards.
For parking lots and drives, curbs prevent pavement edge deterioration while channeling stormwater to drainage inlets. Proper curb height, radius details at corners, and ADA-compliant ramp transitions all require precision execution to meet code requirements.
Slip-form curb machines enable efficient installation of long runs with consistent dimensions and surface finish. For shorter runs or complex geometries, hand-formed curbs provide flexibility while maintaining quality and meeting specifications.
Why property owners choose us
- Extruded or formed installation methods for continuous, smooth profiles meeting municipal standards
- Integration with site drainage systems and storm sewer inlets for proper water conveyance
- Various profiles including barrier curb, rolled curb, and integral curb-and-gutter combinations
Project capabilities
We provide complete curb and gutter services using both slip-form extrusion for long runs and traditional forming for complex geometries. Our crews coordinate with civil engineers on grades, radii, and drainage calculations to ensure proper function. We handle all aspects including subgrade preparation, forming or extrusion, finishing, and joint installation per municipal specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are standard curb heights for commercial sites?
- Commercial curbs typically range from 6-8 inches in height. Parking lot curbs are often 6 inches, while roadway curbs may be 8 inches. Height specifications come from city standards or civil engineering plans.
- Do you coordinate with city drainage requirements?
- Yes, we work from civil engineering plans showing drainage slopes, inlet locations, and city specifications. Our installation ensures proper flow to drainage structures per approved plans.
- Can you install curbs in occupied parking lots?
- Yes, we routinely install curbs in phased sequences maintaining parking access. Work can be scheduled during off-hours to minimize disruption to business operations.
- Do you handle ADA-compliant curb ramps?
- Yes, we construct curb ramps meeting ADA specifications including proper slopes, detectable warning surfaces, and transitions. All work coordinates with accessibility inspectors.
