Curbs and Gutters

Common Applications

You have likely noticed the curbs and gutters in your town or city. The road in front of your own property will have gutters for allowing the rain to run off and curbs to protect the sidewalk or greenery. These are just as necessary on your property. Beside your driveway, beside the house to control melting snow and excessive rain, and around the garden to keep the dirt where it belongs.

When your concrete driveway is being poured, there are usually gutters and curbs added. They not only add to the visual appeal, but they serve a purpose. Curbs and gutters are the raised and slanted sections of the edge of a road or parking lot. Curbs allow a visual barrier where the road or driveway is and reinforce the surface of the road. The edge of an asphalt or concrete slab is its weakest point, and that is where you may experience the most damage.

Curb Machine

A curb machine is simply a machine that allows a contractor to make a continuous curb in asphalt or concrete. These machines cut the amount of labor needed and labor costs significantly. They are fast and efficient and come in a variety of sizes to allow for various-sized curbs or gutters. This process used to be completed by hand and was tedious, expensive, and time-consuming.

Curb Machine Uses

Concrete curb machines are large pieces of equipment that pour concrete as they move along and make it into special shapes, like a curb.

They are also used for:

• Gutters
• Barrier Walls
• Post Curb
• Median Curb

You may have seen one in use in your neighborhood if new roads or construction was going on. They are widely used for all kinds of commercial concrete work.

Curb machines are used for new subdivisions, sidewalks, irrigation ditches, parking lots, and anywhere else you would need a barrier.

Experience & Equipment

While you may be able to buy one of these machines, this is not a DIY project. You want to hire a professional concrete contractor with the right equipment, knowledge, and experience to get the job done right the first time.

Benefits

These will run along your driveway, your foundation, and the main road. They help to remove excess water and take it away from your home, yard, and off of your property.

Barrier curbs and gutters are used to protect the driveway from the grass, the sidewalk from the street, and to protect other areas from vehicles. These are what you see in your driveway, in parking lots, and more. Mower curbs are used to protect your garden, lawn, and your flowerbeds.

Many homeowners are opting for a decorative barrier to enhance the look of their property and still provide protection.

People are getting far more creative and inventive with their driveways because it can be:

Versatility

You can have these barriers in any color or shape you want. Perhaps you wanted to have stones around your garden or flowerbed. You can do that with concrete for far less money. You can also get special barriers for anywhere you want in your yard or garden to look like anything else, smaller than usual, larger than standard, or any shape and color you can dream of.

These will cost much less and look just as good as the materials they represent. They last a lot longer and don’t get spoiled every year by:

• Weather
• Dampness
• Freezing and Thawing Cycle
