Parking curbs and curb and gutter
Poured curbs formed in place, or precast wheel stops placed and pinned. Damaged runs are broken out and matched to what's there.
Commercial Curbs, Ramps & Pads
Concrete for commercial properties, done without closing the lot
For property managers, stratas and small-business owners: curbs, pads, ramps, pole bases and sidewalk panels, poured to the drawings and staged so tenants and customers still get in.

Commercial jobs we take
Dumpster, transformer and equipment pads
A dumpster pad takes truck loads, a transformer pad follows the utility's drawing, and an equipment pad follows the supplier's. Enclosures add walls, gate posts and bollard footings.
Accessibility and loading ramps
Permanent concrete ramps with handrails and guards. The BC Building Code sends ramps on an accessible path of travel to its stricter Section 3.8 rules, so they're built to the designer's drawing.

Bollard, sign and light-pole bases
Bases sized to the supplier's or engineer's drawing, with conduit and anchor bolts cast in. In Maple Ridge, underground electrical is inspected before the concrete goes over it.
Commercial sidewalks and trip hazards
A heaved or broken panel is removed and re-poured, and the cause (roots or a washed-out base) dealt with so the new panel doesn't lift again.
For property managers
Tell us what's broken and send a photo with the booking form. We'll scope it, give you a written estimate, and plan the work in phases or after hours so stalls, entrances and bin service stay open.
On commercial sites that need engineering, BC requires Letters of Assurance from the registered professionals, and we build to their drawings and field reviews.

From our job sites
Real jobs, including the forms before the pour, which is the part you can't see once the concrete is in.
Common questions
What is the typical height of a concrete curb?+
It depends on the curb's job. A parking curb or wheel stop is low; a curb at a drive aisle or sidewalk edge is taller, and street curb and gutter follows the City's standard. We build to your site drawing or match what's there.
Do concrete curbs have rebar in them?+
Poured curbs are usually reinforced, and the depth and steel follow the drawing or the curb's job. Precast wheel stops come with their own reinforcement and are pinned down.
What are dumpster pads?+
A reinforced concrete pad where the bin sits and the truck sets down to lift it. It's thicker than a parking slab because of the truck's front wheels.
How much do parking curbs or a concrete pad cost?+
We don't estimate blind, because size, access, digging, steel and finish move the number more than the concrete does. Send a photo and rough measurements with the booking form and John will tell you what drives the price on your job, then give you a written estimate after the site visit.
How it works
Four steps, and nothing is ordered or dug until you sign off.
Call or book a site visit
Call John, or tap Book now and send a photo of the spot with rough measurements if you have them.
Site walk
John comes out, walks the site, checks access, slope and drainage, and tells you which permits and inspections the job needs.
Plan and design
You get a clear plan, the design and a written scope and estimate. Finishes are chosen and the build date is locked in before anything is ordered or any ground is broken.
Build
Forms are set, inspected and poured. You get updates as we go and a clean site at the end.
