Concrete Curbs & Gutters in Peculiar, MO

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 carries water and keeps its shape. In Peculiar it also has to meet a design standard the city has written down.

The town has rebranded around named design districts — the Peculiar Way Design District, the C/J Highway corridor, and the Downtown Overlay — and most of its commercial ground along I-49 is young, built from 2010 on.

Peculiar sits on Cass County shrink-swell clay that swells wet and shrinks dry; per MoDNR mapping this is the moving ground of the southern metro. It works under a new curb as readily as an old one, so we compact and drain the subgrade before we pour and run slipform curb on the long runs, in air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with joints saw-cut to the pavement, against the freeze-thaw the NOAA record shows for the I-49 corridor and the winter salt behind it.

We build the same curb and gutter across the southern metro — in Raymore, Belton, and Harrisonville. Ford rates 4.9 stars across 29 Google reviews for concrete flatwork across the KC metro.
