Ditch cleanup-Culvert Project

[kozal01]

Well, got all three culvert sections in, ditch dig out and 15 yards of fill hauled in. Will do at least another 15 tomorrow. Doesn’t look like much in the pictures but I made a ton of progress today. I love my Kioti but dang is this Wacker nice!

Thank you sir!


It was a busy weekend and I made good use of the rental excavator and made huge progress on this project. Moved 30 yards of fill with the little Kioti and my truck/ trailer and got it filled and mostly graded. Still have a bit of finish work to do then bring in top soil but Im happy with the work I got done this weekend.

Since it’s been just over a year since I started this project I figure I should update this thread. Got top soil down before fall/winter and dealt with a bit of washout into the ditch so this spring I brought in field stones from a local farm to shore up the area around the new culvert. I then touched up the top soil and planted grass seed. The unusually cold days we had this spring slowed the germination down a lot but I’m finally getting some decent grass filling in. Sure looks a lot better than it did originally!
