Culvert Installation in the Texas Panhandle
A driveway culvert has one job: move the water in the ditch under your driveway instead of over it. Frick's Demolition & Excavation sizes, sets and backfills culverts across the Texas Panhandle so your access holds up through the next gully-washer.
From residential driveways to field entrances and crossings, we install the right pipe at the right grade, even in tough canyon-rim terrain.

Driveway & entrance culverts
The right diameter pipe set at the correct flow line.
Correct sizing
Sized for the drainage area, ditch and any county rules.

Bedded and compacted so the drive does not settle over the pipe.
Flared ends & rip-rap
Inlet and outlet protection so the ends do not scour out.
Field & crossing culverts
Access for pastures, fields and ranch roads.
Our Process
- 01
Check the ditch
We look at the drainage above your entrance and the ditch flow.
- 02
Size the pipe
We pick a diameter for the flow and any local requirements.
- 03
Set to grade
We bed and set the culvert to match the ditch flow line.
- 04
Backfill & protect
We compact the backfill and protect the ends.
Set a culvert too high and it dams the ditch; too low and it silts up. We grade every pipe to the flow line and compact the backfill in lifts so your driveway stays put. For a deeper look, read our guide on how to choose the right culvert size.
Culverts go hand in hand with driveway construction and drainage, so we plan the water and the access together.
Frequently Asked
What size culvert do I need?
Most single-home driveways use a 15, 18 or 24 inch pipe. The right size depends on the drainage area, the ditch and local rules. We size it for your site.
Do I need a permit for a driveway culvert?
Many counties set requirements for a new approach. We check the local rules before we dig so your entrance is done right.
