Project Overview
This homeowner was experiencing water backing up along the driveway and yard due to a clogged culvert. Over time, leaves, mud, and washed‑in gravel had restricted flow, causing pooling and erosion. They needed the culvert cleared, reshaped, and restored so water could move freely again.
What We Did
-
Removed debris, sediment, and packed gravel from the culvert inlet
-
Cleaned the outlet to ensure full, unobstructed flow
-
Re‑established proper ditch line for smooth water movement
-
Added fresh riprap around the outlet to prevent future erosion
-
Shaped the driveway edge for clean water shedding
-
Verified flow with a test rinse to ensure proper drainage
Equipment Used
-
Kubota BX23S “Jasper” — ditch shaping and material removal
-
Clara Bell (Dump Trailer) — hauling debris and riprap
-
Hand tools — fine cleanup around the pipe ends
-
Optional: Critter guard installation if requested
Time Required
Most culvert cleanups take 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on how packed the debris is and whether riprap needs to be added.
Results
The restored culvert now has:
-
Clear, unobstructed water flow
-
A clean inlet and outlet
-
Stabilized edges with riprap
-
Reduced risk of driveway washouts
-
Improved drainage for the entire property
