Curb and gutter is the concrete edge that holds the pavement and carries water to the street drain. We build it for new driveways, parking lots, subdivisions and commercial sites across Modesto. A lot of curb work comes attached to a bigger pour, like a commercial concrete project. We also take curb and gutter on its own.
Curb sets the line for everything around it. If the grade is off, water sits in the gutter instead of running to the inlet. We form on a string line and check the fall before any concrete comes out of the truck. Many of these jobs also need a new sidewalk along the same frontage, and we pour that too.

Vertical curb has a straight face that stands up at the edge of the pavement. It keeps vehicles off the landscaping and holds the pavement edge in place. Most commercial lots and city streets use it.
Rolled curb has a sloped face a car can drive over. Builders use it in subdivisions so a driveway can go almost anywhere along the frontage. It is easier on tires and looks softer in front of a house.
We pour the curb and the gutter pan together as one section. The two parts move as one that way, so the joint between them cannot open up. Your plan or the city's standard detail sets the curb height and the gutter width, and we build to it.
Water in a parking lot has to get somewhere. A valley gutter is a shallow concrete channel that carries it across a drive aisle to the inlet. It lets the water cross a lane at the surface instead of running through a pipe.
A curb cut is the low section where a driveway meets the street. The curb drops to the gutter, and wings angle back up on both sides. We cut out the old curb, then pour the new approach to the line the city sets. That is the piece that connects your new concrete driveway to the road.
Fall is the whole job on a gutter. We set the forms so the pan runs downhill to the drain, with no flat spots. Standing water after a rain means the grade is off or the section has settled.
Curb breaks for a few reasons. Truck wheels climb it, tree roots lift it, and old gutter pans crack and spall. We cut the damaged section loose at a joint and remove it. The new piece is poured to match the line and grade beside it.
Curb, gutter and driveway approaches sit in the public right of way. That is the city's side of the property line. In Modesto, the Land Development Engineering division issues encroachment permits for work there, including curb, gutter, sidewalk and driveways. In the unincorporated county, Stanislaus County Public Works issues them.
We help you sort out the permit and pour to the detail the agency asks for. Concrete Solutions is a licensed C-8 concrete contractor based in Modesto, and we work about 65 miles out from here. Rules change from one city to the next, so confirm the current requirements before the work starts.
