In many places, especially at road junctions and in built-up pedestrian areas, kerbs are lowered to create ramps that improve access for both pedestrians and motorists. A dropped kerb involves lowering a particular section of pavement to provide level access from the path or street onto the road. Removing the sharp height difference makes it much easier for pedestrians to cross roads and for motorists to park on or access properties.
The most common reason people need a dropped kerb is for driveway extensions. If you're extending your driveway and need to lower your pavement curb, we can provide advice on what steps to take before starting the work.
