Concrete Services

Asphalt isn’t the only surface a commercial property depends on. Curbs, gutters, sidewalks and concrete pads take a different kind of abuse — vehicle impact, foot traffic, dumpster trucks and standing water — and they fail differently than asphalt does. Kansas City Asphalt handles the concrete work on your property alongside the paving, so you get one crew and one point of contact instead of juggling a separate concrete contractor.

We work across the Kansas City metro: apartment communities, shopping centers, grocery stores, churches, HOAs and industrial sites. Family-owned, serving the metro since 2005.

Curb and gutter

Curb and gutter do the quiet work of keeping water off your pavement and out of your building. When a curb is cracked, spalled or pulling away from the asphalt, water gets behind it and undermines the base — the same failure mode that turns a small edge crack into a sunken section of lot. We repair damaged runs and pour new curb and gutter where a lot is being reconfigured, striped for new traffic flow, or brought up to grade after an overlay.

Broken curb near accessible parking, drop-off lanes and building entrances is also a liability and a trip hazard, and it’s usually the first thing we flag on a site walk.

Sidewalks

A sidewalk that’s heaved, cracked or settled unevenly is a fall risk your insurance carrier and your tenants both notice. We remove and replace damaged sidewalk sections — matching grade, joint pattern and broom finish to the surrounding concrete — and build new walks where a property needs a route that doesn’t exist yet: from parking to an entrance, between buildings, or connecting to a public sidewalk at the property line.

Where a walk crosses a parking lot or connects to accessible parking, we build the curb ramps and landings to the accessible route requirements that apply to your property, so the path from an accessible space to the door actually works for the people who need it.

Concrete paving

Some areas of a commercial property are better served by concrete than asphalt: dumpster and loading areas that take repeated heavy-axle loads, entrance aprons that see constant turning traffic, and pads for equipment or generators. Concrete costs more up front than asphalt but resists the rutting and shoving that heavy, slow-turning trucks cause on asphalt in the same spot. We pour concrete paving in the specific areas of a lot where it earns its keep, while the rest of the lot stays asphalt.

Trash pads and dumpster pads

The area under and around a dumpster takes more punishment than almost any other part of a commercial lot — the concentrated weight of a loaded dumpster, plus the truck that services it, braking and pivoting in the same few square feet week after week. Asphalt breaks down fast there. We pour reinforced concrete trash pads sized to the enclosure and the collection truck’s approach, so that one corner of the lot stops being the first thing that needs to be redone every couple of years.

How concrete work fits into a paving project

Concrete and asphalt work is often part of the same project: an overlay or repave frequently means matching curb heights back up, replacing a walk the old grade cut into, or finally fixing the trash pad that’s been an eyesore for years. Because we handle both, we can sequence it as one phased project instead of two contractors working around each other. A written scope tells you what’s asphalt, what’s concrete, and how the phasing keeps your property open throughout.

Common questions

Can you match new concrete to what’s already there?
Yes. We match grade, joint spacing and finish to the surrounding concrete so a repaired section reads as part of the original work, not a patch.

Do you do concrete work on its own, without a paving project?
Yes. A cracked sidewalk or a failing trash pad doesn’t need to wait for a larger paving job.

How long before new concrete can be used?
Concrete needs time to cure before it carries traffic, longer than asphalt. We’ll give you the specific timeline for your project and phase the work so the rest of your property stays open.

Do sidewalk and curb ramps have to meet accessibility requirements?
Where a walk connects to accessible parking or is part of an accessible route on a covered property, yes — curb ramps, slopes and landings have specific requirements. We’ll tell you where your site stands.
