Ditch & Culvert Cleanout in Acton, CA
Clear the path before the next storm.
Family-owned dirt-work crew based in Acton, serving nearby communities within about 20 miles. Free, no-pressure estimates.
On rural properties around Acton, the ditch along your road and the culvert under your driveway do a lot of quiet work. When they fill with sand, DG, brush, and tumbleweeds, the next storm goes over the driveway instead of under it.
We dig out silted ditches, clear plugged culvert inlets and outlets, and reshape the ditch so water keeps moving. The CAT 305 lets us work along narrow drive shoulders without tearing up the road surface.
Best time to call is before the rainy season — but we also handle post-storm cleanup when a culvert has already backed up.
What's included
- Roadside and property ditch cleanout
- Driveway culvert inlet/outlet clearing
- Ditch reshaping and re-cutting
- Sediment and debris haul-off
- Driveway approach regrading
- Pre-storm maintenance visits
Common problems we fix
Water running over the driveway instead of under it
Usually a culvert plugged at the inlet or buried at the outlet. We dig both ends open and clear the approach.
Ditch filled level with sediment
We re-cut the ditch profile and haul or spread the spoils so the channel carries water again.
Driveway washing out at the culvert
We clean the culvert and can regrade and re-crown the approach so water stays in the ditch.

Local ground, local conditions
Private roads and long driveways in Acton, Agua Dulce, and Littlerock often rely on owner-maintained ditches. After a monsoon or winter storm, a single plugged culvert can cut off access. Culverts in public right-of-way may be the county's responsibility — we'll tell you if what you have looks like one.
