I am going to cut a swale or shallow ditch alongside the higher side of my gravel driveway, and I need to run two culverts under the drive to let water move to the low side. There is finished grass lawn on each side of the driveway. Any suggestions as how how to finish the ends of the culverts so I can easily mow over/around them, or not have to mow there, and so they look nice for a finished yard?
I won't be using big culverts. There is not a lot of elevation change and there is not "running water" that you would notice. I'm just fixing two spots next to the drive where water gravitates to, causing soft spots, causing potholes. I don't know how small culverts come, but I'm thinking 6 or 8 inches will be plenty big for this.
How should I finish them inside the ditch/swale?
We have some rock landscaping so I probably could do something like that around the downhill exits.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks!
