It's our name for a reason. We form curb & gutter, and sidewalk by hand with wood and steel forms — to the exact line and grade your job needs — across all of Greater Victoria. Barrier curb, mountable curb, curb and gutter, and driveway letdowns, all fully insured and WorkSafeBC registered.
Curb & Gutter, Done by a Crew That Specializes In It
Curb and gutter is civil concrete work, and most residential concrete crews don't take it on. It means working to municipal standard, holding a true line and grade over a long run, and tying cleanly into the road, the catch basins, and the sidewalk. That's the side of the trade we built the business around.
When a new home or development goes in, the municipality usually requires new curb & gutter, and sidewalk along the frontage, built to City spec. We do that work — and we also pour the curb islands, parking-lot edges, and commercial frontages that keep property managers and developers calling back. From a single driveway letdown to a full commercial frontage, it's the same standard.
Know Your Curbs
Types of Curb We Form
Different jobs call for different curb profiles. Here are the main ones we pour across Greater Victoria. [Chris — confirm these are the profiles you take on, fix any wording, and tell me if you form others (e.g. separate curb, rolled curb & gutter) or want any removed.]
Non-Mountable
Barrier Curb
A tall, near-vertical face that keeps vehicles off sidewalks, medians, and landscaping. The standard separation between the roadway and the boulevard on most municipal and commercial frontages.
Roll-Over
Mountable Curb
A lower, rounded face a vehicle can drive over. Common at driveways, residential edges, and parking lots where you need the line of a curb but still need to cross it.
With Gutter Pan
Curb & Gutter
Curb poured together with a flat gutter pan that carries water along the road to the catch basin. The combined profile that keeps drainage moving and edges clean on a finished street.
Crossing Point
Driveway Letdowns
The depressed section where the curb drops to let a driveway cross into the road. The apron — the paved strip between the curb and the sidewalk — ties it together.
Hand-Formed, Not Machine-Extruded
We form every curb by hand with wood and steel forms. We don't run an extruded curb machine — and for the work we do, that's the right call.
A curb machine can pour anything hand-forming can, radiuses and corners included. It just isn't worth mobilizing one unless the run is large — roughly 150 lineal metres or more. Below that, hand-forming with wood and steel forms is the efficient, sensible way to get a clean, true curb. So for the residential, infill, and municipal tie-in work we focus on, that's how we do it. [Chris — reword this however you'd say it to a customer; I want the trade detail in your voice.]
Out With the Old
Curb & Sidewalk Removal, Regrade & Replace
A lot of curb and sidewalk work isn't a fresh install — it's replacing old, broken, or heaved infrastructure that's past its life. That's some of our favourite work. We tear out the old curb and sidewalk, haul it away, regrade and prep the base, and form and pour the new.
Here's the part most companies gloss over: the removal, disposal, and hauling. A lot of outfits just file all of it under "excavation" and leave it at that. We spell it out, because it's real work and it matters to how the new curb or sidewalk turns out — a proper tear-out and a properly regraded, compacted base is what makes the new pour last.
Step 1
Remove & Haul
We break out and remove the old curb & gutter, and sidewalk, then load, haul, and dispose of the old concrete and debris. All of it handled by us — not left for you to sort out.
Step 2
Regrade & Prep
We excavate, regrade, and compact the base to the right line and grade — the groundwork that decides whether the new curb or sidewalk sits true and lasts.
Step 3
Form & Pour
We form and pour the new curb & gutter, and sidewalk to line and grade, tying cleanly into the existing road and catch basins.

No — we hand-form every curb with wood and steel forms. A curb machine can do the same work, curves and corners included, but it only pays to bring one out on large runs (roughly 150 lineal metres or more). For the residential, infill, and municipal tie-in work we focus on, hand-forming is the efficient, sensible method.
Barrier (non-mountable) curb has a tall, near-vertical face that keeps vehicles off sidewalks, medians, and landscaping. Mountable (roll-over) curb has a lower, rounded face a vehicle can drive over, common at driveways and residential edges. We form both.
