Curb and Gutter Construction
Commercial curb and gutter construction in Allen, TX
As a general contractor working directly with developers and property owners, we deliver curb and gutter construction services for commercial and industrial properties throughout Allen, TX and the DFW metroplex. No subcontracting, just our experienced crews, your project, and clear accountability.
Service Overview
Curb and gutter construction defines the edges of commercial parking lots, directs stormwater drainage, and creates the clean finished appearance that quality commercial properties demand. Whether you are developing a new commercial site or rehabilitating an existing property, properly constructed curbs are essential infrastructure.
Our curb and gutter work integrates with the overall site drainage plan. We coordinate with civil engineers to ensure curb flow lines, inlet locations, and drainage patterns work together to move water off the site efficiently. This coordination prevents ponding, erosion, and the drainage failures that plague poorly planned projects.
Commercial curb construction requires durability to withstand vehicle impacts, snow plow contact, and the freeze-thaw cycles that damage inferior work. We use appropriate concrete mixes, reinforcement, and joint spacing to deliver curbs that maintain appearance and function for decades.
Beyond standard curb and gutter, we construct specialty curb types including mountable curbs for fire lanes, barrier curbs for safety applications, curb ramps for ADA compliance, and decorative curbs for high-visibility commercial entries.

Common Project Situations
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about curb and gutter construction
What types of curb profiles do you install?
We install standard vertical curb and gutter, rolled curb, mountable curb (for fire lanes), barrier curb, and various specialty profiles. The appropriate curb type depends on the application, traffic conditions, and local code requirements.
How do you coordinate curb construction with drainage design?
We review civil engineering plans to understand flow line elevations, inlet locations, and overall drainage patterns. During construction, we verify grades with survey equipment to ensure water flows to intended collection points.
Can you construct curb and gutter around existing parking lots?
Yes. We regularly add or replace curb and gutter at existing commercial properties. This work requires coordination with existing grades, drainage systems, and often active tenant operations.
What concrete mix do you use for curb and gutter?
We typically use 3500-4000 PSI concrete with air entrainment for freeze-thaw resistance. The specific mix depends on local conditions and any special requirements in the project specifications.
How do you handle transitions to existing curb sections?
Transitions to existing curb require careful grade matching and joint treatment. We sawcut existing curb to create clean joints, match elevations precisely, and install proper expansion or contraction joints at transitions.
