Decorative Fieldstone Culvert Wall & Dry Creek Bed in Edgewater, MD
Fieldstone culvert & dry creek bed.
FEATURED PROJECT · EDGEWATER, MD
The project at a glance.
This Edgewater project was a decorative culvert wall built to help rainwater flow. Before, the end of the driveway culvert pipe sat exposed in a worn, eroded grass swale. We built a dry-stacked fieldstone wall, mortared where needed, around the pipe outlet, laid a river-rock dry creek bed running out from the culvert and finished the area with new mulched beds. We finished both ends of the driveway culvert: the other end, on the other side of the driveway, got a large fieldstone apron along the asphalt edge, with river rock and plantings.

What we built.
The fieldstone culvert wall
The wall is dry-stacked fieldstone, mortared where needed, built around the culvert pipe outlet. It is decorative, and it helps rainwater flow out of the pipe. We finished both ends of the driveway culvert. The other end, on the other side of the driveway, has a large fieldstone apron along the asphalt edge, with river rock and plantings.

The river-rock dry creek bed
A river-rock dry creek bed runs out from the culvert, between the fieldstone and the new mulched beds.
New planted beds
The new mulched beds are planted with coneflowers (echinacea), roses, fountain grass and small shrubs. Learn more: Landscape Design & Installation
A finished culvert, not an exposed pipe end.
An exposed pipe end in a worn swale looks unfinished. On this job, we finished both ends of the driveway culvert with fieldstone, river rock and new plantings. If you have a driveway culvert that needs a better finish, we can walk the site with you and put the scope in writing. Learn more: Drainage & Grading
