Farm Roads, Tracks & Caravan Sites
Rural routes demand tough, well-drained surfaces that stand up to tractors, livestock traffic and seasonal weather. JC Surfacing constructs and upgrades farm roads, estate tracks and caravan site access using robust build-ups, reliable drainage and neat finishing. From quarry spalls and Type 1 to machine-laid asphalt on busy sections, we tailor specifications to your ground conditions, vehicles and budget.
Where We Work
- Farm access roads and field tracks
- Estate drives and forestry routes
- Caravan and holiday park access & pitches
- Yard surfacing and loading areas
Build-Ups & Materials
- Sub-base – Well-compacted Type 1 or graded stone to suit ground conditions and drainage needs.
- Reinforcement – Geotextiles and geogrids to separate soft subgrades and prevent pumping.
- Binder & Surface Courses – Durable asphalt layers for busy sections, hills and junctions.
- Surface Dressing – Cost-effective sealing of stone roads to reduce dust and raveling.
- Concrete Pads – At gateways, stock-handling and high point-load areas.
Drainage & Water Management
Good drainage protects the structure and reduces maintenance. We install side ditches, cross-falls, culverts and field drains as needed. At caravan parks we plan run-off to protect pitches and public spaces, integrating interceptors where required.
Construction Process
- Survey & Access Planning – We review ground conditions, gradients and vehicle types to select the right method.
- Formation & Sub-base – Topsoil strip (where required), compaction in layers and separation membranes for soft ground.
- Drainage – Ditches, grips and crossings installed to move water off the carriageway quickly.
- Surfacing – Machine-laid asphalt or graded stone with surface dressing depending on use and budget.
- Finishing – Verge trimming, gateways and signage; tidy interfaces to buildings and yards.
Caravan & Holiday Parks
We build durable access roads and neat, well-drained pitch areas with clear wayfinding. Where speed control is needed, we integrate traffic calming and signage. Quiet night works are available to reduce guest disruption during peak season.
Maintenance
- Periodic grading and topping of stone tracks
- Patching and crack sealing on asphalt sections
- Ditch and culvert clearing before wet seasons
- Surface dressing refresh to extend life and control dust
Case Examples
Estate Track Upgrade – Lincolnshire
Soft spots were stabilised with geogrid and additional sub-base, then sealed with surface dressing. Drainage grips reduced standing water and rutting.
Dairy Farm Access – Newark
Steep approaches were machine-laid in asphalt for traction and durability. Concrete pads at gateways protect against rutting from turning plant.
Holiday Park Loop – Nottinghamshire
New access loop constructed with neat kerbs, clear signage and speed control. Phased works maintained guest access.
