Text UsWhat Is a Roll Curb?
A roll curb, often called a California curb, is the rounded concrete hump at the street edge of your driveway. We grind it down so the entry is smoother, easier on your suspension, and less likely to scrape low-clearance vehicles.
Hard on Your Vehicle
Driving over that rounded hump day after day adds up. Over time it wears on your vehicle's suspension and can lead to misaligned wheels or a scraped undercarriage. The taller the hump, the worse it is, especially on lowered cars and anything with low ground clearance.
What We Do
We grind the roll curb hump down to give you a smoother, more pleasant entry and exit from your driveway. No tearing out concrete, no jackhammering, and no damage to the surrounding curb or street. Most driveways are done in under an hour and ready to use the same day.
SUDAS Compliance
The curb at the end of your driveway sits in the public right-of-way, so the work has to be done to standard. Every grind we do meets SUDAS (Statewide Urban Design and Specifications) standards, backed by 40 years of grinding curbs to specification across Iowa.
Common Reasons to Grind It Down
- •The roll curb is too steep and scrapes your undercarriage
- •A lowered or low-clearance vehicle that bottoms out going in and out
- •Everyday wear on your suspension
How It Works
You give us the driveway location and we show up and grind. Before we arrive, mark out the section of roll curb you want taken down and clear any vehicles from the driveway so the crew has room to work. We grind the hump to a smooth profile, measure the finished footage, and you're good to use it the same day. Most driveways take under an hour.
Pricing
Pricing depends on service type, footage, and distance from our shop. All curb grinding is quoted up front before scheduling, so you'll know exactly what the job costs before we book it.
