Check with your local or state road department. Around here, if you supply the culvert pipe, they will provide the labor to create your driveway entrance to their codes. Make a reasonable argument for a longer pipe and larger opening to prevent trucks from crushing your pipe during your home construction. One of the smart things I did just because it seemed logical. Young couple is starting a home on a lot they bought from our next-door neighbor and their culvert pipe and driveway opening is so small that it's already crushed and they haven't even finished the foundation!
We owned our lot for about 32-years before building, but it was right across the street from where we lived (and still own) so we used it (6-acres) as our private park all that time. Now we've been in the new house for over two-years and I can't imagine why we waited so long.
Well, other than not having the money, or time, or money to build!
