Our neighborhoods curb is deteriorating and our HOA is looking to get prices on a full remove and replace for about 1,500 feet.

Any recommendations in the Baton Rouge area that can handle this?

that rollover curb was just poured right on top of the concrete road surface. No wonder it broke into pieces

Tell your HOA that if they do it that way again they’ll be replacing it again

The builder of the neighborhood is to blame and he is no longer alive.

You can try 311 and put in a request.

This is assuming the curb was laid down as part of the street initially.

But even if not, don’t ask, don’t get.

scrape up the broken curb. then you have two options...

1) put it back the way it was but leave a higher nose on the end (dont slope down to zero) and set some pins in the road surface to keep the curb from moving laterally

2) sawcut and excavate a narrow continuous footing at the end of the slope, then pin and pour...make it have a small turndown below grade at the skinny end

#2 would be a gigantic PIA

That’s a normal way to pour rollover curb.

The problem is people don’t put expansion joint between the curb and driveway when they build and it pushes the back of curb and it breaks.
