What size culvert do I need for my driveway?
It depends on how much water drains toward your entrance, the depth and slope of the ditch, and local county rules. Most single-home driveways use a 15, 18 or 24 inch pipe, with 18 inch being a common minimum. We break it down in our guide, how to choose the right culvert size.
How do I know if I need a French drain?
Common signs are water that pools and sits after a rain, moisture against your foundation, a damp crawlspace or shop, washouts and erosion, or grass that keeps dying in low spots. Read the 7 signs your property needs a French drain.
What is a caliche driveway and do you build them?
Caliche is a local, limestone-rich material that compacts into a hard, all-weather surface, and it is the go-to driveway material in the Panhandle. Yes, we build them with proper base prep, a crown for drainage, and real compaction. Learn more about caliche driveways.
