Why are curb ramps so important?

A curb ramp is a short ramp cutting through a curb or built up to it, and is designed to create safe access for those who use wheeled forms of mobility. Without them, individuals who use wheelchairs would not be able to independently transition from a curbed sidewalk to a roadway and vice versa. In the city of Austin alone, around 15% of the population is made up of people with disabilities, making curb ramps an essential necessity for the community.

Where else do we need curb cutting services?

While curb cutting is essential in providing greater access to those with limited mobility, curb cutting is also needed for a variety of residential and commercial projects. Sites including highway-adjacent roadways, access roads, and even simple residential lawn renovations often require the use of our innovative curb cutting tools. Whatever the task, our custom curb cutting machine can help to make cuts quicker, less labor intensive and more efficient for the operating technician.

ADA Compliant Curb Ramps and Pedestrian Crossings

The “Ground-Breaking” Horizontal Concrete Saw

In the 90’s, Texas Curb Cut pioneered the development of the horizontal curb saw, which completely transformed the way curb ramps are created. Before, installing wheelchair ramps, driveway approaches and access ways was an extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming process that could take days to complete. The horizontal curb saw eliminates the need to remove and replace the curb by making longitudinal cuts through the concrete at variable angles. The savings in time, labor, and materials by using the horizontal concrete saw over traditional methods are quite substantial. Our curb cutting machines are manufactured in-house and can be modified for other uses.
