What does a curb and gutter have to get right in Lathrop?
A curb and gutter passes when its flow line keeps a steady fall to the inlet, the line and grade hold to the survey, and the joints match the pavement, so it drains and lasts. In Lathrop the growth is what's pulling new curb in.
Residential growth in this Clinton County town — the Mule Capital, on the I-35 commuter corridor — is driving new localized retail and service along MO-116, and much of it needs its first real curb.
Growth pulls the retail curb in
As new rooftops arrive, a small ag town's service lots get their first curb-and-gutter instead of draining across gravel, and we set the base and the flow line to the plan so a new lot works from the start. MO-116 carries agricultural traffic and the Watkins trucking freight, so the tie-ins get a base built for that load, the kind of read our commercial paving starts with.
The older 1990s retail along the I-35 frontage gets the other half of the work: a settled curb reset to grade as the corridor keeps up with the town.
Either way, we tie the new curb to the existing grade so a growing lot drains as one system.
Clinton County clay, slipform, and winter
Lathrop sits on Clinton County glacial-till clay of the Grundy–Wymore association that firms in dry weather and softens when it saturates; per MoDNR mapping this is dissected till-plain clay, not river-bottom ground. It moves a curb with the season, so we compact and drain the subgrade and run slipform curb on the longer runs, in air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with joints saw-cut to the pavement, against the freeze-thaw the NOAA record shows for Clinton County and the winter salt off I-35.
We build the same curb and gutter across the northland — in Kearney, Smithville, and Liberty. Ford rates 4.9 stars across 29 Google reviews for concrete flatwork across the KC metro.
