Curbs define edges, direct water and protect lawns and landscaping from tires and plows. We install and replace concrete curbs for driveway approaches, parking lots, private roads, subdivisions and commercial sites in Brighton, Hartland, Milford and Lansing.
Whether you need a short section replaced where a plow tore it up, a curb cut for a new driveway, or a long run of curb and gutter for a lot or development, we can form and pour it to match the plan.
Curbs Take the Worst of Michigan Winters
Curbs sit right where salty slush collects and where snowplows scrape all winter. Water running along the gutter line soaks into the concrete and freezes, and salt speeds up surface scaling. Clay subgrade under a curb can heave in the cold, leaving uneven sections that trap water and break down faster. We prepare a stable base, shape the curb so water moves along it, and cut joints so movement does not cause random cracks.
Curbs in Michigan face constant contact with snowplows, salt and standing slush, so they need to be strong and correctly shaped from the start. A curb that is set at the right height and angle guides meltwater to drains instead of letting it pool against pavement, where it can freeze and break up asphalt. We match new curbs to existing ones whenever possible so repairs blend in, and we pay attention to the joint where curb meets pavement, since that is often where damage begins. For property managers and businesses, we can talk about scheduling around traffic so customers and tenants still have safe access while the work is underway.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Review the site
We look at drainage, existing curb profiles and how the new curb ties in.
- 2
Remove damaged curb
Broken sections are saw cut and removed cleanly.
- 3
Prepare the base
Subgrade is compacted and gravel is added where needed.
- 4
Form and pour
Curb is formed to the required profile and poured.
- 5
Finish and joint
Edges are finished, joints are cut, and the curb is backfilled once cured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permission to replace the curb in front of my house?
Curbs along public roads usually fall under the city, village or road commission, so check with them first. We can talk through what they may require.
Can you match the existing curb shape?
In most cases, yes. We match the profile so the new section lines up with what is there.
Do you handle commercial curb work?
Yes. We are family-owned, licensed and insured, and have over 10 years of experience with residential and commercial concrete.
