What dropped kerb applications involve
A dropped kerb, or vehicle crossover, is a lowered section of kerb and strengthened pavement that lets a car cross the footway to reach a driveway. It needs consent from the highway authority (your council in England, Wales and Scotland; DfI Roads in Northern Ireland), and the work in the pavement is done by that authority or a contractor it approves.
Groundwork prices in Chalfont St Peter depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Chalfont St Peter are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Projects we quote in and around Chalfont St Peter include setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, replacing failed edges that have started to crumble and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.
