Types of Curb
There are a number of types of curb, categorized by shape, material, height, and by whether the curb is combined with a gutter. Most curb is constructed separately from the pavement, and the gutter is formed by the joint between the gutter and the curb. Combined curb and gutter (also called curb and channel) has a concrete curb and gutter cast together in one piece. Integral curb is curb constructed integrally as a part of a concrete pavement.

These dry leaves of his autumn.”

And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon,
Or curb a runaway young star or two,”
