Foundations & General Construction Services

Risha Enterprises offers professional driveway installation, drainage correction, and seasonal land services for rural and residential properties in Sunbury, OH and surrounding areas. With more than 35 years of experience in excavation, grading, and site development, we help property owners maintain access, manage water runoff, and preserve the long-term usability of their land.


Driveways, ditches, and drainage systems are often overlooked until they cause problems. Our team evaluates your site, addresses slope and erosion issues, and provides lasting solutions that work with the natural grade of your property—not against it.



Whether you're installing a new gravel driveway, correcting pooling water near your foundation, or prepping your land for the changing seasons, Risha Enterprises is here to help.

Gravel Driveway Installation & Grading

Gravel driveways are a practical, affordable solution for rural and suburban properties. When built properly, they provide years of reliable access with minimal maintenance. Risha Enterprises offers full-service gravel driveway installation, regrading, and reshaping services for homes, barns, workshops, and agricultural sites.


Our driveway services include:

  • New gravel driveway installation
  • Reshaping and regrading existing drives
  • Gravel placement and spreading
  • Crown grading for proper water runoff
  • Culvert trenching and installation
  • Driveway widening or extensions


We evaluate your property’s topography, recommend the appropriate base materials, and grade your driveway to shed water naturally. Every project is designed to reduce washouts, minimize rutting, and ensure year-round use.

New Driveway Construction

If you're building on undeveloped land or creating access to a new barn or structure, we handle all aspects of new gravel driveway installation. This includes:


  • Access path clearing
  • Grading and slope correction
  • Base and top layer gravel spreading
  • Ditching and water control



We can also return after construction is complete to regrade and restore the drive if heavy machinery has caused ruts or settling.

Drainage Solutions for Rural Properties

Water runoff, poor drainage, and erosion can damage driveways, foundations, yards, and neighboring land. Our drainage solutions are designed to correct these issues at the source, using natural slope and engineered systems to move water where it belongs—away from buildings and travel surfaces.


Drainage services include:

  • Ditch creation and reshaping
  • Downspout extension trenching
  • Culvert installation and repair
  • French drain and curtain drain trenches
  • Swale grading
  • Driveway water bar grading
  • Gravel berm construction



We assess each property to determine the best approach for managing surface water, protecting structures, and reducing saturation in low-lying areas. Our goal is to keep your land dry, functional, and protected from long-term erosion.

Culvert Installation

Driveways and access roads that cross ditches or drainage paths often require culverts to allow water to pass underneath. We install culverts to the correct diameter and slope for your site and backfill with stable, compacted material for lasting performance.

Culvert services include:

  • New culvert trenching and pipe placement
  • Replacing rusted or collapsed culverts
  • Adding end caps or flared inlets
  • Grading around entries and exits
  • Compacting and restoring road surface

Proper culvert installation is essential to prevent road washouts and protect surrounding terrain.

Seasonal Property Services

Changes in season can have a major impact on rural properties. From spring thaw to fall leaf buildup, your land requires attention to remain safe and accessible. Risha Enterprises provides seasonal grading, drainage correction, and maintenance services to help you prepare for the elements.


Common seasonal services include:

  • Regrading driveways after winter frost heave
  • Clearing ditches of leaves, debris, or sediment
  • Restoring storm-damaged access routes
  • Rebuilding gravel surfaces washed out by rain
  • Cutting drainage paths before spring rains
  • Compacting soft soils before heavy use



We recommend evaluating your property at least twice per year—once in spring and again in fall—to catch problems early and prevent damage.

Surface Water Management

Even minor elevation changes can affect how water behaves on your property. Our team designs and grades water flow systems that prevent ponding, keep moisture away from structures, and reduce the need for future repairs.


We use a combination of:

  • Swales
  • Shallow ditches
  • Gravel drainage zones
  • Redirection slopes
  • Vegetation control for erosion


We take a conservative, land-friendly approach that works with the property’s natural grade and doesn't rely on expensive systems unless truly necessary.

Preventive Maintenance & Land Stewardship

Good land management starts with regular care. Risha Enterprises helps property owners maintain their roads, access paths, and drainage systems year-round with scheduled or one-time services. This helps protect your investment, reduce emergency repairs, and improve the usability of your land over time.

Benefits of routine maintenance include:


  • Smoother access for vehicles and equipment
  • Less erosion and washout after storms
  • Extended life for gravel driveways
  • Reduced standing water and mosquito growth
  • Fewer soft spots and ruts in high-traffic areas



If you’ve just moved to a rural property or are managing land for the first time, we’ll help you build a simple maintenance plan that works for your schedule and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should a gravel driveway be regraded?

    We recommend regrading once or twice per year, depending on use, weather, and site conditions. High-traffic or sloped driveways may need more frequent maintenance.


  • What causes water to pool near my house or driveway?

    Poor grading, blocked ditches, compacted soil, or undersized culverts can all cause water to collect. We’ll identify the source and offer a clear solution.


  • Can you repair ruts or soft spots in my driveway?

    Yes. We can regrade the affected area, add new gravel, and compact the surface for improved strength and drainage.


  • What size culvert do I need?

    Culvert size depends on the flow of water it needs to handle and the slope of your ditch. We’ll calculate the right diameter and recommend a durable pipe for your property.


  • Do you offer one-time or recurring maintenance?

    We offer both. Some clients prefer seasonal check-ins, while others schedule regrading or drainage work as needed. We’re flexible based on your property and budget.


  • Will I need a permit for drainage work?

    Most basic grading and ditching projects on private property do not require permits, but if you're near protected waterways or wetlands, we’ll help you verify with local authorities.
