About This Service

Professional Ditch Digging

EMP Construction provides expert ditch digging and trenching services for a wide range of agricultural, residential, and commercial applications. Proper drainage is critical to land usability, property value, and structural integrity — and we get it right.

We use track excavators, trenching machines, and skid steers to dig precise drainage channels, irrigation lines, and utility corridors at any scale. Our operators understand proper grade and slope to ensure water moves where you want it — and stays away from where you don't.

Whether you're addressing standing water issues, installing a new irrigation system, running electrical conduit underground, or building a drainage network for a new development — EMP has the equipment and expertise to deliver.

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep can you dig a drainage ditch?

We can excavate drainage ditches from 2 feet to 8+ feet deep depending on equipment used and site conditions. We'll assess your drainage needs and recommend the appropriate depth and grade during your free estimate.

Can you install culverts?

Yes. We source and install corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and concrete culverts for driveways, road crossings, and drainage channels of all sizes.

Do you handle permitting for drainage work?

We can help guide you through the permitting process. In many areas, drainage work on private land doesn't require permits, but work near waterways or wetlands may require county or state approval.

Do you provide grading after ditch work?

Yes. We typically finish ditch projects with grading and cleanup of the surrounding area. Seeding and erosion control is also available.
