Ditch Cleaning & Drainage Ditch Excavation

A drainage ditch only works when water can actually run through it. Over the years ditches silt in, grass and brush take over, culverts clog, and the flow line flattens out — and the first thing you notice is standing water where it never used to sit, a soggy pasture, or a driveway that floods every summer storm. We clean ditches back out and re-cut them to grade so they move water again.

We dredge out the accumulated silt and muck, clear the overgrowth, re-cut the bottom to a proper fall, and clean out or reset the culverts and driveway pipes that pinch the flow. Where you don't have a ditch yet but need one, we excavate new drainage ditches and swales and shape them to carry water where it belongs. Then we shape and stabilize the banks so the ditch stays open instead of silting right back in.

This is drainage-channel work for farms, ranches, large lots, and rural properties. For yard drainage, French drains, and catch basins, see our drainage solutions; for stormwater infrastructure and retention, see stormwater systems.
