Brighton, the Adams County seat

Brighton began as a stage and railroad stop called Hughes, took the Brighton name in 1879 and incorporated in 1887. It is the Adams County seat, and its farming and canning past is still visible in the old neighborhoods.

From our base we come up I-270 and US-85, about 30 minutes. Landmarks include Barr Lake State Park, known for bird watching, and the Prairie Center shopping district.

Downtown, the 1881 plat and Kuners Row

The Brighton Subdivision, platted by Daniel F. Carmichael in 1881, is the city’s oldest neighborhood, and downtown, along Bridge Street, has a historic district of its own. Kuners Row, fifteen houses built in 1917 for Kuner Pickle Company workers, belongs to the same story.

Streets like these have old concrete: narrow walks, worn steps and aging driveways. Under Brighton’s code the owner is responsible for the sidewalk, curb and gutter in front of the house, and the city runs a 50/50 cost-share program for replacing them. It does not cover driveways or concrete on private property.

Newer Brighton answers to associations

Bromley Park, Brighton Crossing and Brighton East Farms are among the newer neighborhoods. Bromley Park has its own community association, and Brighton Crossing has a metropolitan district with a shared amenity center. Check with yours before changing a driveway, patio or walk.

In neighborhoods like these the common requests are wider driveways, stamped patios and RV pads where the covenants allow.

Does a Brighton pour need a permit?

Brighton’s Public Works says permits are needed for new driveway access points and for any construction in the public right of way. Work like a curb cut or the city sidewalk usually needs a city permit.

Brighton sits along the Front Range, where swelling soil heaves and cracks slabs. We prep the base, set reinforcement and cut control joints to spec. Every job starts with a walkthrough and a written scope and price.

Good to know

Concrete in Brighton: questions

Does Brighton’s 50/50 sidewalk program cover driveways?

No. The program splits sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement between the city and the owner. It excludes driveway replacement, small cracks and concrete on private property. Driveways, patios and walkways on your lot are separate work.

Can you work in the old downtown neighborhoods?

Yes. We pour driveways, walkways, steps and patios on older lots. If your house may be a designated historic property, ask the city before changing the front of it. We walk and measure the site first.

Can you widen an existing driveway?

Yes. Widening ties new concrete into the old slab, so we check the base and the joint layout at the walkthrough before pricing it. Check your association’s rules first. Brighton is about 30 minutes from our base.
