Proper culvert installation for driveways, farm roads, and commercial access points in Perry, Howell, Brighton, Lansing, and across Mid-Michigan. Free estimates from Davis & Company.
Poor drainage under a driveway or access road doesn’t just create puddles — it erodes the roadbed, undermines the surface, and eventually causes the whole thing to fail. A properly installed culvert keeps water moving through and prevents it from eating away at the structure above.
Davis & Company installs culverts for residential driveways, farm roads, and commercial access points throughout Mid-Michigan. We’ve been doing this type of drainage work since 2015 and serve Perry, Howell, Brighton, Fenton, Lansing, and the broader region.
Culvert installation involves excavating the area, sizing the culvert correctly for the drainage volume it needs to handle, setting it at the proper grade, and backfilling and compacting around it. Done right, a culvert handles water quietly in the background and extends the life of the driveway or road above it significantly.
We work on both new installations and replacements of failing or undersized culverts. If your current setup isn’t draining properly or is showing signs of structural failure, give us a call.

Culvert installation is most often part of a larger driveway or access road project. If you’re putting in a new driveway, it’s worth addressing drainage at the same time rather than dealing with problems later. Excavation is typically required to set the culvert correctly and ensure the road base is properly supported above it. Site prep and grading work coordinates naturally with culvert installation when a larger area is being developed. For farm roads and access paths through wooded or rural land, trails and access road clearing may be needed alongside the drainage work. Land clearing sometimes precedes all of this when the area hasn’t been disturbed before.
Homeowners with driveways that cross a ditch or low area. Farmers with field roads and access lanes. Commercial properties with parking areas or entrance drives that have drainage issues. Any situation where a driveway or road sits over a drainage channel, a properly installed culvert is the right solution.

If your driveway crosses over a ditch, low area, or drainage channel without any pipe underneath, you likely need one. Signs of an existing problem include water pooling on or near the driveway, erosion around the road edge, or a failing driveway surface in a low spot.
Yes. Old, undersized, or damaged culverts can cause real drainage and structural problems. We assess the existing situation, recommend the right replacement size, and install it correctly.
That depends on the drainage area and the volume of water the culvert needs to handle. We assess that as part of the estimate process — don’t worry about figuring that out on your end.
Absolutely. We regularly handle culvert installation as part of a larger driveway installation or repair project. It makes sense to address drainage and the surface in the same project.
