Practical project guide
Surface Drainage & Ditch Grading
Reshape runoff paths, swales, and ditches so water moves away from driveways and usable property areas.
Read the water path
Low areas, compacted soil, driveway edges, downspouts, and roadside features are considered together.
Reshape ditches and swales
Existing channels can be cleaned or regraded where access and surrounding elevations allow.
Correct surface flow
Contour changes can guide runoff away from parking, driveways, and yards.
Culvert work
Accessible culverts may be cleaned or replaced when part of the agreed work and supported by the surrounding grade.
Repair erosion
Washed soil or gravel is rebuilt after the water path is improved.
