DITCHING
A ditch that’s silted in, overgrown, or never cut deep enough will send water somewhere you don’t want it — across your driveway, into your yard, or against your foundation. We cut and reshape ditch lines that actually carry water where it belongs.
Cut to grade, not just cleared out.
- Ditch cut to proper depth and slope for real flow
- Silt, debris, and vegetation build-up cleared out
- Side slopes shaped to hold up over time
- Clean tie-ins to existing culverts and drainage
- Rock-lined sections in spots prone to erosion

Ditching Questions
How often does a ditch need to be recut?
Fill dirt is unscreened soil used for bulk grading, leveling, and building up elevation — it’s not meant for planting. Topsoil is screened to remove rocks and debris and is better suited for lawns and gardens.
Will ditching fix standing water in my yard?
If the standing water is draining toward the ditch line, yes — ditching gives it somewhere to go. If it’s a low spot with no natural outlet, that usually needs grading or a diversion channel as well.
Do you do roadside ditching or only private property?
We primarily work on private driveways and property, though we can advise if your issue is actually a county-maintained roadside ditch.
Will ditching disturb my landscaping?
We work as tight to the existing line as possible, but ditching does disturb the ground along the cut. We’ll walk the line with you first so there are no surprises.
