This Shelby County open ditch reclamation project shows the kind of access and drainage work NFF Excavating handles for rural properties, farms, contractors, and local agencies.
Open ditches can disappear under brush, volunteer trees, sediment, and debris. Once access is lost, water movement becomes harder to inspect and harder to maintain. Reclaiming the corridor gives the property owner a visible drainage path again.
On work like this, Dave uses the excavator to reach, pull, cut, sort, and clear material in a controlled sequence. The goal is not just knocking vegetation down. The goal is a ditch line that can be seen, accessed, maintained, and kept working.
