Culvert cost is also a factor of culvert size and length needed. Example a 15” culvert that is 20-24’ long vs a 36” culvert that is 40’ long could be 10 times the cost. If the access into the property crosses a ditch that is deep and wide you might be spending 10k or more on a big culvert and lots of fill dirt and limestone road base.
$2000 in East TN. $600 for the culvert, $750 for the equipment and hammer to pound out the Limestone ledge. The remaining was labor. This included no fill.
Thank you for sharing this information!

That's really interesting that the professional ending up being cheaper than DIY! I have no idea what culverts cost around here. :)
