The slide show above shows a dropped kerb we installed in Brixham. It was a tarmac dropped kerb with concrete rear edgings set onto a new concrete bed. We needed to follow the style of the rest of the road using a concrete quadrant kerb and laying the tarmac up to the road edge.

Above is the final result of a crossover we installed on Gibson Road in Paignton to allow the customer to get on and off their driveway. We used two new quadrant kerbs, dug out to 250mm depth, spread and compacted 150mm of type 1 road stone, 100mm granite concrete, floated and applied a brushed finish as required by council/highways spec, followed by a tidy hand troweled front edge.

We always do a thorough dig out to the correct highway specification for our dropped kerb installation. Many a time we have seen other contractors just skim the surface off and not dig down to the correct depth or put any new hard-core in. We have a great relationship with the councils which we don't risk jeopardising by doing half effort dig outs.
Above is a concrete dropped kerb we installed in Paignton to allow the customer to get on and off their driveway. We go a few extra steps to get the surface really nice and flat, the brush lines straight and even, and the nice trowel edge along the front for maximum tidiness.
A tarmac dropped kerb we completed on Fourth Avenue Teignmouth to allow the customer to get on and off their driveway. We re-used granite kerbs to keep the foot path looking original with the rest of the road.
