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 Broxburn depend on what is found below the surface, so the survey looks closely at ground conditions, access and drainage. Plots around Broxburn are often generous, so turning areas and longer runs of edging are part of many quotes.
Across the Lothians, the projects we price include adding a soakaway so water stays on the property, preparing a drive to meet a new dropped kerb and replacing failed edges that have started to crumble. More about dropped kerb applications.

General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Lothian is one of the drier parts of Scotland, but cold winters and frost make a well-drained, frost-resistant base important. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
