Dropped Kerb Installers in Newmarket
Professional Dropped Kerb Installation Made Simple
Looking for easier access to your property? A professionally installed dropped kerb is not only a practical upgrade but a legal requirement if you need to drive across a public pavement onto your driveway.
At LM Groundworks, we provide compliant, council-approved drop kerb installations that are carried out efficiently, safely, and with no hidden costs.
What’s Involved in Installing a Dropped Kerb?
Installing a vehicle crossover doesn’t just mean lowering the kerb, it involves permissions, utility checks, and groundwork that must follow strict local regulations. Our experienced team makes the process hassle-free by handling it all for you.
Many property owners aren’t aware that without a dropped kerb, driving over the pavement is not only unsafe but illegal. We help you get things right from the start. Whether you’re tired of people blocking your driveway or simply want legal access, we can assess your site and get the process moving quickly.

Finding someone who could manage both the permission and installation of a dropped kerb was a struggle – until we found LM Groundworks. They were so knowledgeable, friendly, and organised everything on our behalf.
The installation itself was quick and expertly done, with real attention to detail. They cleaned up afterwards, and the kerb looks brilliant – smooth, well-aligned, and practical. We’d 100% recommend LM Groundworks to anyone needing a dropped kerb or any other groundwork.

We contacted a few companies and LM Groundworks were the most helpful and knowledgeable from the start. They guided us through the process, dealt with the council, and installed a dropped kerb that looks flawless.
The attention to detail and pride in their work was clear from day one. Highly recommend them.
