Dropped Kerbs: Safe, Legal, and Professionally Installed
At HomePro Landscaping Services, we install dropped kerbs that make vehicle access to your driveway smooth, safe, and compliant with all legal regulations.
Whether part of a new driveway installation or as an upgrade to improve access, we handle the full process, from design to council approval to professional installation.
Why a Dropped Kerb is Essential
A dropped kerb creates a lowered section of pavement to allow vehicles to cross safely without damaging the kerb or pavement.
Without a legally installed dropped kerb, driving over the pavement can:
- Damage your vehicle’s tyres and suspension
- Cause structural damage to the pavement
- Lead to fines or enforcement action from your local council
Local Council Requirements and Legislation
Installing a dropped kerb is not simply a matter of lowering the pavement — it must meet strict local council and national regulations.
Requirements typically include:
- Planning Permission or Consent – Many councils require formal approval before work can begin
- Licensed Contractor – Only council-approved or accredited contractors can carry out the installation
- Minimum Widths and Specifications – Kerb length, slope, and height must meet set standards
- Drainage Considerations – Ensuring water run-off is directed correctly to prevent flooding
- Highway Safety Rules – Installation must not obstruct visibility, utilities, or pedestrian pathways
We work closely with local authorities to ensure all requirements are met for your area.
The Process — From Start to Finish
Our dropped kerb service includes:
- Initial Consultation – Assessing your property, driveway location, and access points
- Liaising with the Local Council – Submitting applications, drawings, and technical details
- Utility Checks – Identifying and avoiding underground services such as gas, water, and electricity
- Professional Installation – Using approved materials and methods to meet council standards
- Final Inspection – Ensuring all work passes council inspection and meets legal requirements
