Concrete Curb and Gutter Cost

Concrete curb and gutter work includes layout, excavation, base preparation, forming, reinforcement as required, concrete placement, and finishing. Cost in Southern California depends on the curb profile, site access, drainage requirements, reinforcement, and the amount of preparation needed along the run.

Typical range: $45–$95 per linear foot — Southern California (2026 pricing)

What moves the price

  • Curb profile and dimensions — Taller, wider, or custom curb-and-gutter sections require more concrete, forming, and labor per linear foot.
  • Excavation and base preparation — Soil removal, grading, compaction, and aggregate base requirements affect crew time and material quantities.
  • Drainage and slope — Maintaining drainage elevations or tying into existing gutters can require more layout, forming, and precision finishing.
  • Access and project length — Restricted access and short or segmented runs generally increase labor and concrete-handling effort per linear foot.
