Fair Grove sits about fourteen miles north of Springfield on US 65, inside Greene County. That county line matters more than the mileage does, because Greene County runs a permit for driveway and culvert work on its right-of-way, and it runs it in a way worth knowing about before you buy pipe.
Here is how it works. The Right-of-Way Inspector from the county highway department comes out to your entrance. He checks where the driveway goes and he sets the culvert size himself, on site. The permit issues with installation instructions attached to it. The county inspects and approves the finished work before final sign-off, and the property owner is responsible for having the culvert installed to those specifications. That last part is where we come in.
One published Greene County rule surprises people: no plastic pipe goes in the county right-of-way. So an entrance off a county road here is galvanized or aluminized steel pipe, or reinforced concrete. HDPE stays a perfectly good pipe for a lane crossing well back on your own ground, and we will tell you which side of that line your job sits on before anything gets ordered.
The rest is the method. Pipe sized to what the ditch actually carries, a shaped granular bed under the barrel, backfill compacted in lifts on both sides, roughly a foot of cover on a car entrance, flared ends holding the fill back, and angular rock where the outlet water lands. Depth to limestone varies around here, so we haul bedding material to the job rather than counting on the trench.
