In most SWFL jurisdictions—including Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Naples—a culvert is required wherever a driveway crosses a swale or right-of-way.
Installing the right culvert keeps your property compliant, protects your foundation, and extends driveway life.
Culvert installation in Florida is more than digging a trench—it’s a regulated process. Our team manages it end-to-end, ensuring your project is safe, efficient, and fully approved.

Do I need a permit to install a culvert in Cape Coral or Fort Myers?
Yes—most SWFL cities require permits and inspections for any work within a public right-of-way or drainage swale. We manage the process for you.
How long does installation take?
Most residential culvert installs take 1–3 days, depending on depth, material, and inspection scheduling.
How long will my culvert last?
With proper sizing and installation, HDPE culverts can last 50+ years, while PVC and CMP options vary by environment and load.
Can I replace my existing culvert with a larger one?
Possibly—but it must be engineer-approved to ensure the neighborhood drainage system isn’t disrupted.
Do you repair collapsed or blocked culverts?
Yes—we offer culvert replacement, cleaning, and erosion repair as part of our maintenance service.
