What makes an ADA ramp pass in Raymore, MO?
An ADA ramp in Raymore, MO passes when the running slope stays at or under 1:12, the cross slope under 1:48, and the clear width at 36 inches or wider, with level landings at the top and bottom — the federal 2010 ADA Standards, confirmed with a digital level instead of an eye.
Raymore is one of the fastest-growing cities in Missouri, and it is a place where accessible ramps earn their keep. A large share of its residents live and gather where mobility devices are in daily use, so a ramp's slope and its grade break are not abstractions here — they are the difference between a route that works and one that doesn't.
Ramps where they get used most
Foxwood Springs, the large senior-living community, puts a concentration of walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters on Raymore's private drives and parking every day. On that ground the margin in a ramp matters more than almost anywhere: a run just over the 1:12 max running slope or a lip at the grade break that a younger pedestrian would step over stops a mobility device cold.
We build those routes with room to spare — a run set below the maximum, a level landing, a full-width detectable warning where the path crosses a drive, and edge protection on raised runs so a wheel can't roll off the side. It is the same care we bring in Belton and Lee's Summit, alongside our sidewalk work.
Cass County clay and a ramp's slope over time
Raymore sits on Cass County's Wymore and Ladoga clay — it swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and it keeps working long after a ramp is poured. That movement tips a compliant landing and opens a lip at the grade break, and on a route people depend on daily, that drift can't be allowed to happen.
We stabilize and drain the subgrade and set the slope below the maximum, so the clay has margin to move into before it reaches the ramp. Our Kansas City soil guide covers the ground under Cass County.
New pads at the Commerce Center, older ones on MO-58
Raymore's pavement runs two ages: the brand-new Class A pads at Raymore Commerce Center off Dean Avenue, and the 2000s-era retail along the MO-58 corridor now entering a rehab window. The new ones need a base stabilized against settlement; the older ones need pre-standard ramps rebuilt to current slope and warning rules.
We read which is which, pour air-entrained 4,000-PSI concrete with a broom texture that holds through freeze-thaw and de-icing salt, hold the cross slope under 1:48 max cross slope, and close every ramp with as-built slope verification. Start with the ADA ramp service or our concrete repair work. KC-metro property owners rate Ford 4.9 on Google across 29 reviews.

Cass County clay and the age of the pad set the base plan.
Design below the max
Running slope under 1:12, cross slope under 1:48, with extra margin on high-use routes.
Stabilize and drain
A compacted, drained base so the ramp stays in tolerance as the clay works.
