Tell us about your project — we'll get back to you fast.
We evaluate your drainage situation, measure water flow needs, and provide a clear estimate for culvert size, materials, and installation.
We excavate the culvert trench or ditch to the correct depth and grade, with a properly prepared bed for long-term pipe stability.
The culvert is set at the correct slope, end sections are installed, and the pipe is backfilled and compacted to prevent settling.
The surrounding area is graded, any disturbed driveway or road surface is restored, and the site is left clean and functional.
In Wisconsin's climate — with heavy spring runoff, summer rain events, and freeze-thaw cycles — proper water management isn't optional. Undersized or improperly installed culverts wash out. Poorly graded ditches back up and erode. Getting this right protects your driveway, your yard, and your property's foundation from costly water damage. Erickson Consulting & Excavating brings 20+ years of local experience to every culvert and ditching project. We assess your site's water flow, select the correct culvert diameter and material, and install it at the proper grade for long-term performance. Our ditch excavation work establishes clean, properly sloped channels that move water away from structures and roads without causing erosion. Our customers have highlighted strong outcomes on culvert and ditch projects — from driveway crossing culverts that eliminated washout problems to full ditch rehab jobs that permanently corrected drainage on rural properties. We're known for precise, reliable work that solves water management problems the right way.
An undersized culvert backs up and washes out; an oversized one costs more than needed. We select the right pipe for your site's actual water flow.
Properly installed culverts and graded ditches prevent driveway washouts, yard flooding, and erosion that can undermine driveways and structures.
20+ years working in West Central Wisconsin means we understand local drainage patterns, soil types, and county road requirements.
We use quality materials, proper bedding, and correct installation technique — so your culvert and ditch work performs through Wisconsin's toughest seasons.
Culvert sizing depends on the drainage area, typical water flow, and ditch dimensions. We assess your site during a free estimate and recommend the correct pipe diameter — taking the guesswork out of the process.
We typically use corrugated metal pipe (CMP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe depending on the application, site conditions, and any county or town road requirements.
Culverts on county or town roads may require a permit from the local highway department. We can advise you on the requirements for your specific location and project.
Yes. Culvert replacement is a common part of our work. We remove the old pipe, prep the bed, install a new correctly sized culvert, and restore the surface.
Absolutely. Ditch cleaning and reshaping is sometimes all that's needed. We can regrade and clean existing ditches to restore proper drainage flow.
