Looks like I will be laboring on Labor Day. Due to the drought, my pond is way down which affords me the chance for some much needed maintenance. One of the first projects I would like to complete is install a culvert with an 8-foot wide road across the inlet to the pond. There is never more than 18-inches of water in this drainage ditch and now it is almost dry.
Concept is simple, roll a culvert into the ditch and backfill, however this ditch is actually about 10-feet across and 8-feet deep to grade and I was wondering the best economical way to keep the backfill from washing back into the drainage over-time. Would appreciate your thought on the matter, in the mean time I have plenty of fallen trees and branches to remove from the pond.
