Culvert Installation in Midkiff, TX

A culvert that's too small, set at the wrong grade, or backfilled wrong will wash out the first time water really moves.

Ground conditions — Midkiff, TX

Upton County ground turns rocky in places, with caliche ledge close to the surface — shallow rock changes both how a job digs and what it costs.

Land falls off toward the draws, which helps drainage but concentrates runoff into channels that cut fast if a crossing or an outfall is not armored.
