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.
Before quoting groundworks in Renfrew we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Renfrew, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
In Renfrew we can price work such as setting a channel drain across a garage entrance, fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive and adding a soakaway so water stays on the property. More about dropped kerb applications.

Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
