If water is pooling near your driveway, your culvert has collapsed, or you're adding a new driveway that crosses a roadside drainage ditch, Nickens Outdoor Solutions installs culverts built to handle Williamson County's terrain.
We've served the Greater Nashville area since 2012 as a family-owned, licensed, and insured team, and we understand what proper culvert work takes in a community like Brentwood.
Why Culvert Installation Matters in Brentwood
Many Brentwood properties sit along roadside drainage ditches, and a properly sized, properly installed culvert is what keeps that water moving instead of pooling against your driveway.
A failing or undersized culvert can lead to washouts, driveway settling, and standing water that erodes your yard over time. On Brentwood's rolling lots, where runoff moves faster downhill, getting culvert sizing and installation right matters even more.

We provide custom culvert solutions matched to your property's drainage needs and how the area is used.
New Culvert Installation
Adding a new driveway or access point that crosses a drainage ditch? We install new culverts sized and positioned to handle your property's water flow from day one.
Culvert Replacement
Crushed, rusted, or undersized culverts are a common cause of driveway flooding and settling. We remove the old pipe and install a properly sized replacement, correcting drainage issues instead of masking them.
Culvert Sizing & Materials
We evaluate the water volume your ditch typically carries and recommend pipe material and diameter accordingly, so your culvert performs through heavy rain rather than just light runoff.
Built for Williamson County Drainage Needs
Brentwood's rolling, karst-influenced terrain affects how quickly water moves across a property and how much volume a culvert needs to handle. We factor in:
- Terrain and slope, which influence water volume and flow speed on Brentwood lots
- Proper excavation, bedding, and compaction so the culvert stays stable and doesn't shift over time
- Awareness that culverts connecting to a public road or drainage system may require permitting — we'll help you understand what applies to your property
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a driveway culvert, and do I need one in Brentwood?
A driveway culvert is a pipe installed under your driveway that lets water pass through a roadside drainage ditch without flooding or damaging your driveway. Most Brentwood properties with a ditch along the road need one.
Do I need a permit to install a culvert in Brentwood, TN?
Permit requirements vary by property and whether the culvert connects to a public road or drainage system. We can help you determine what's needed for your specific project.
How do I know if my culvert needs to be replaced?
Signs include standing water near your driveway, a caved-in or crushed pipe, water backing up during rain, or a driveway that's visibly settling near the ditch line.
What size culvert do I need?
Sizing depends on the volume of water your drainage ditch typically carries, which varies by lot and location. We assess your property on-site to recommend the right size and material.
How long does culvert installation take?
Most residential culvert installations take one to two days, depending on the length of pipe needed and site accessibility.
