Dairy country

Farm work we do

Silage bunkers - excavation, base, and the concrete floor poured between precast walls.
Feed pads - laid to a fall so they clean down properly instead of holding effluent.
Dairy and shed concrete - yards, aprons, entrances and hardstands.
Culverts and crossings - so a track survives the winter.
Drainage - subsoil drains, open drains and getting water off the paddock.
Ponds and bulk earthworks - see excavation.
