Most rural driveways fail for one of two reasons: the water has nowhere to go, or the base was never built. We fix both. The road gets shaped and crowned so water runs off instead of down the middle, culvert pipe goes in where the ditch crosses, and the surface goes on top of a base that will hold a loaded truck.
Long drives back to a lake lot or a ranch house are our bread and butter — including the ones that need a low-water crossing, a turnaround at the house, or a pad for guests to park on.
What is included
- New driveways and ranch entrances, short or a half mile back
- Culvert pipe sized and set for the ditch it is crossing
- County road approaches and mailbox turnouts
- Regrading, crowning and re-rocking washed-out drives
- Turnarounds, parking pads and equipment aprons
- Low-water crossings and drainage dips
What drives the price
- Length and width of the drive
- How much base has to be built before rock goes down
- Culvert size and how many crossings the route needs
- Material choice — caliche, crushed concrete or washed rock
- Haul distance from the pit to your place
Driveways & Culverts — questions we get
What size culvert do I need?
It depends on how much water the ditch carries and how deep it runs. We size it on site — undersized pipe is the single most common reason a rural entrance washes out.
Can you fix a driveway instead of rebuilding it?
Often, yes. If the base is still there, reshaping, crowning and topping it costs a fraction of a rebuild. We will tell you which one you are looking at before you spend money.

Other work we do
Land Clearing
Mesquite, cedar and shin oak taken off the acre — roots and all — so the grass comes back and the property is usable again.
Demolition
Old house, leaning barn, burned-out mobile home or a slab you want gone — torn down, hauled off and left clean enough to build on.
House & Barn Pads
A pad that is set high enough, packed tight enough, and drains the right direction — so the slab your builder pours sits on ground that will not move.
Ponds & Drainage
New tanks dug, old ones cleaned out, dams rebuilt, and water moved away from the places it should not be sitting.
Site Prep & Grading
Rough grade to finish grade — the dirt work that happens before anybody else can start, done to elevation and on schedule.
Stump Removal
Stumps pulled out with the root ball, holes filled and packed, and the ground raked clean enough to mow.
