Hilliland Contracting builds and repairs driveways with proper drainage for farms, ranches, and rural homes throughout Seguin and the surrounding 50-mile area. Free estimates available.
A well-built rural driveway is one of the most practical investments you can make in a piece of property. It means you can access your land reliably in any weather, that heavy equipment and vehicles can get in and out without getting stuck or tearing up the surface, and that water drains the way it should instead of cutting channels through your access road every time it rains.
Hilliland Contracting handles rural driveway installation and culvert work for residential and farm and ranch clients within about 50 miles of Seguin. This includes cutting new driveways through undeveloped or wooded property, rebuilding driveways that have washed out or deteriorated, and installing or replacing culverts to manage drainage properly.
Building a durable rural driveway starts with understanding the land — how water moves across it, where low spots are, what the soil is like, and what level of traffic and weight the driveway needs to support. Skipping that assessment is how you end up with a driveway that looks fine when it is finished and then starts washing out the first time you get a hard rain.
On most projects we handle site clearing along the driveway corridor if needed, rough grading to establish the grade and drainage slope, culvert selection and installation at crossings and low points, and final grading of the surface. The specific work on any given job depends on the terrain, the length of the driveway, and what materials are appropriate for the conditions.
We offer free estimates on every job. There is no pressure and no guesswork — just an honest look at what your project requires and what it will take to get it done.

We evaluate each crossing to determine the correct culvert size based on water flow, slope, and drainage patterns.
Select a culvert that can handle expected rainfall and water volume without being undersized or prone to failure.
The culvert is placed with the correct support materials to ensure stability and prevent shifting or collapse over time.
If an existing culvert is failing, we assess it and recommend repair or replacement to restore proper drainage and driveway integrity.
Hilliland Contracting is based in Seguin, TX and takes on projects within a 50-mile radius. That covers a wide stretch of South and Central Texas — from the western edges of the Hill Country to communities east of San Antonio. If your property is within our service area, we want to hear from you.
We work directly with property owners to ensure every project gets our full attention. We also handle commercial erosion projects. You talk to us, we come out, and we get the job done.
Culvert sizing depends on the size of the drainage area upstream, the slope of the channel, and the expected flow during heavy rain events. Getting this wrong is a common and expensive mistake. When we come out for your estimate, we look at the drainage situation at each crossing and size the culvert accordingly. Do not guess on this — it is one of those things where the right answer at the start saves a lot of trouble later.
It depends on the length, terrain, how much clearing is needed along the path, and the number of culvert crossings. After we walk it with you, we will give you a realistic estimate of time and cost.
Usually, yes. Most driveway washout problems come down to inadequate drainage — too-small culverts, culverts that have shifted, or a grade that directs water across the road surface instead of off it. We can assess what is causing the problem and address it at the source rather than just regrading and waiting for it to happen again.
Yes. We can clear the driveway corridor as part of the project, which is often more efficient than hiring a separate crew for the clearing and then bringing in driveway equipment. If you have a wooded lot and need a driveway cut in from scratch, that is the kind of job we do regularly in this area.
Material selection depends on the terrain, expected traffic, drainage conditions, and your budget. We discuss material options during the estimate visit so you can make an informed decision about what makes the most sense for your property and how you plan to use it.
