# Curb Installation, Laval, North Shore, Montreal | National Asphalte

National Asphalte, an excavation and asphalt paving contractor in Laval, the North Shore and Montreal.

We set the curb along your driveway, where the asphalt meets the lawn.

National Asphalte installs curbs in Laval, on the North Shore and in Montreal, around driveways and parking lots. Just like under asphalt, the work starts with an excavated and compacted base. A curb set on soft ground ends up leaning, then breaking.

## What a curb does for your driveway

- **It holds the edge.** Without support, the edge of an asphalt driveway crumbles bit by bit. The curb keeps it in place, from one winter to the next.
- **It keeps a clean line.** The driveway stops exactly where it should. Your car wheels stay on the surface, and the lawn is spared.

## A curb set on a solid base

A curb should stay straight as long as the driveway it holds. We excavate along the driveway, then compact a stone base under the curb. Next, we set the curb in line with the edge of the driveway.

## For driveways and parking lots alike

At home, the curb frames the driveway and separates it from the lawn or the flower bed. In a commercial parking lot, curbs shape the lanes and protect the landscaped islands. We also do industrial and municipal work.

## A complete driveway, from the ground to its surroundings

National Asphalte excavates and paves your driveway, and also installs its curbs. [Natural stone](/en/natural-stone) walls and steps are also part of the surroundings we build. Basement [window wells](/en/window-wells) go in during the excavation.

## Common questions

### Does an asphalt driveway need a curb?

No, an asphalt driveway can do without one. Without a curb, though, its edge stays more fragile and crumbles faster. A curb holds it in place and gives the yard a clean finish. We advise you at no charge, based on your driveway and your budget.

### Can a curb break in winter?

Yes, if its base moves or if a snowplow hits it. Water that freezes under a poorly supported curb lifts it, then the thaw lets it settle crooked. A curb set on an excavated and compacted base stays straight longer. That's why we take care of the base before setting the curb.

### Can you redo a broken curb?

Yes, we do all kinds of repairs, curbs included. A curb that leans or breaks often shows a base that has moved. We remove the damaged section and rebuild the base underneath. Then we set the new curb, lined up with the rest.
