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 Bartley Green we check levels against door thresholds, look for shallow services and plan where spoil and materials will go. In and around Bartley Green, drives often run further from the road, so edging, falls and drainage are planned along the whole length.
Across the West Midlands, the projects we price include digging out an old drive and building a permeable sub-base, setting a channel drain across a garage entrance and fitting setts or steel edging around a new drive. More about dropped kerb applications.
