Pipe work

We trench, bed and lay drainage pipe, culverts and water lines so water ends up where it should and keeps going there for years.

Most drainage failures come from pipe laid without enough fall, without proper bedding, or with no clean outlet. We set grade on every run and backfill so the pipe stays put.

Downspout tie-ins, French drains along a wet yard and culverts under driveways all get pipe sized for the amount of water it has to carry.

What’s included

  • French drains
  • Downspout and gutter tie-ins
  • Driveway culverts
  • Water line trenching
  • Catch basins and pop-up emitters
  • Ditch cleaning and reshaping

Good for

  • Soggy yards
  • Driveway washouts
  • New water service
  • Gutter runoff problems

Pipe work questions

Do I need a French drain or just regrading?

It depends on where the water comes from. Surface runoff is often fixed by regrading; groundwater or a constantly wet area usually needs a drain. We’ll look at the site and recommend the simpler fix when it will work.

What size culvert does my driveway need?

It depends on how much water the ditch carries. We size culverts to the drainage area, and some counties require a minimum size where a driveway crosses a road ditch.

Do you make the final connections?

Yes. We can dig the trench, lay the line, make the final connections and backfill, so one crew handles the whole run.
