ISO: Culvert installation, Hammond area

Hi, I'm looking to fill in a ditch between me and a neighbor. Anyone know where I can get 24" dia. plastic culverts in or around Hammond area. I need to run 250' long.

Thanks

Bought my culvert from Coburn Supply. Don't know if there is one in Hammond.

I called them, they don't have plastic.

Tycer Ready Mix and Southern Pipe have culverts in Hammond. Also try Circle A Hardware in Albany. Not sure of what types they have.

Not familiar with Hammond, but check your local hardware store, feed store and co-op. I have bought culverts from all of the above.
You do realize what kind of cost you are looking at for these don't you, they aren't exactly cheap and you are wanting a dozen sticks at several hundred each.

That's why im asking around. Trying to shop for best price. So far im looking at $440ea. Plus dirt. The parish will do labor for free. Might have to scrap the idea, kinda expensive

That sounds like about the right price to me for 20' sticks

If you don't mind me asking, is it necessary to fill the ditch? Is it a drainage issue or are yall just tired of cutting the ditch? I'm just asking, because it is a lot cheaper to have the ditch/trench re-dug and sloped correctly, than it is to spend all that money on plastic culvert. I'm also curious why you are looking at 24" culvert. 8-10" culvert is plenty if it's just for rain water drainage.

With the dirt, he's easily looking at $6k
Then again, 250ft of culvert is a lot for a residential area.

I bought my culverts from the Parish themselves, they were cheaper than anyone else. They buy them once a year on a large contract and sell them to the homeowners at a slight markup. You just have to provide the dirt. The manager told me that this was primarily done because not all culverts a built the same, so they can control what is being put in.

Talk to your Parish, West Baton Rouge will get culverts and you pay for them, they will install for free you have to supply dirt to cover can save you some of the money required

The ditch takes a heavy load when it rains and a large portion of the phase I live in drains thru this ditch. I called the parish and the drainage dept came out and gave minimum requirements. I was told that I had to supply the dirt and the culverts and they would put them in.

Putting in culverts is just for aesthetic reasons

Check with "Gabriel" in Ponchatoula. They have plastic culverts. I recently bought some 20"
