Curb and gutter work in Detroit: what to expect

Curb and gutter work in Detroit includes replacing broken concrete curb along a driveway or parking lot, new curb cuts and drive approaches, gutter pans that carry water to catch basins, and curbing on private roads and commercial sites. Freeze-thaw, road salt and plows chip and crack curbs over time, and a broken gutter line sends water into pavement edges and lawns.

Most curb is cast-in-place concrete, either formed by hand or run with a slipform curb machine on longer lengths, set on a compacted base with joints to control cracking. Asphalt curb is sometimes used on private lots. When the curb sits in the public right-of-way, the work has to follow the road agency's standards and permit, so the contractor should know the local details before quoting.

Related work often includes a new asphalt driveway or concrete sidewalk. Browse all Detroit paving contractors.

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Work in the public right-of-way, such as the driveway approach, curb cut or sidewalk, needs a permit from whoever controls the road. In Detroit that is a right-of-way permit from the DPW City Engineering Division; in the suburbs it may be the city, the county road agency or MDOT, depending on the road. In Detroit the DPW lists curb cut and drive approach permits among its right-of-way permits, and work must follow city standards. Michigan law requires notice to MISS DIG 811 at least three business days before excavating, so confirm who calls it before any base is dug out.

Concrete curb work falls under the Concrete trade on Michigan's Maintenance & Alteration Contractor license for residential jobs above a threshold set by state law; check the license number on the LARA lookup and ask for proof of insurance.

Common questions

Curb and Gutter FAQ

Yes. Curb cuts and drive approach work in the public right-of-way need a permit from the Detroit DPW City Engineering Division. Suburban cities and county road agencies have their own permits.
It depends on the length of curb, the profile, removal of old concrete, base and drainage work, permits and traffic control, and restoration of nearby pavement.
Responsibility varies by city and road agency. Ask your city before hiring, since some public curb work is handled or scheduled by the agency.
Request quotes from contractors who regularly work in the right-of-way, confirm they know local standards and permits, and check the license and insurance.
