Our Road Services at a Glance

Farm road construction differs greatly from urban roadways or driveways. These roads are more likely to be used by heavy agricultural machinery and livestock than traditional cars and pedestrians. They also have a simpler design, lacking curbs and footpaths, and need a good drainage system to prevent waterlogging.

At LSL Surfacing, we offer a complete range of farm road surfacing solutions that are long-lasting, affordable, and safe. Our surfacing solutions are backed by 25 years of experience, and we have access to the latest tools needed to offer our customers the most advanced solutions in rural road surface dressing.

Our asphalt and tarmac farm roadway surfacing is an excellent choice for new builds, resurfacing, and repairs. We can also assist with custom features like drainage and hybrid surfacing.

Farm Road Repair and Resurfacing

Farm roads are more prone to damage than their urban counterparts. They’re rarely maintained and are subjected to constant heavy traffic movement, including tractors, harvesters, and livestock vehicles. Since they’re often built on uneven surfaces, rural roads typically have poor drainage, causing water damage to farm roadway surfacing. Pothole and rut formation can also lead to safety hazards and vehicle damage, as well as affect the efficiency of your operations. 

If you’re dealing with these issues, connect with us at LSL Surfacing, a trusted name in farm road surface repair. 

With our quick turnaround and access to the most advanced technology, we offer cost-effective resurfacing solutions that are eco-friendly and help extend road life without affecting your operations.

Some common farm road surface repair solutions we offer include:

  • Tar and chip resurfacing
  • Asphalt resurfacing
  • Tarmac resurfacing
  • Full-width farm road resurfacing

 

Materials and Surfaces We Use

One of the key considerations when repairing or constructing rural roads is deciding on the correct surface dressing material. Your choice of surfacing materials should be based on your topography, vehicle usage, and access needs. 

As one of the leading farm road surfacing contractors in Cambridgeshire, we use the following materials:

Tar & Chip: These materials offer strength, durability, and excellent weather traction. They’re also affordable and can be easily customised. Tar and chip farm road surfacing is low maintenance and can be easily installed without disrupting operations. 

Tarmac: Tarmac farm roads provide exceptional durability even with heavy use. These roads last for decades with minimal maintenance, improved safety for traffic and pedestrians, and a stable performance across all seasons. Tarmac surface dressing is easy to install, and despite its high initial costs, it remains affordable in the long run. 

Asphalt: SDM Asphalt farm road installation allows for better resistance to wear and tear from constant use by heavy agricultural machinery. The structure of asphalt provides a stable footing for livestock, people, and vehicles. Using recycled asphalt is also an environmentally friendly option. 

Sustainable Surfacing Options for Rural Roads

Infrastructural advancements and operational efficiency don’t need to come at the cost of the environment. We know that even the slightest change in pollution levels on your farm roads can have a catastrophic effect on your produce, livestock health, soil and water quality, and human health. 

At LSL Surfacing, we prioritise sustainability across all our projects. We use high-quality recycled aggregates and asphalt wherever possible. Depending on the local topography, we offer permeable surface dressing solutions to prevent surface runoff while recharging the groundwater supply. 

Whenever possible, we undertake minimal excavation to reduce pollution and disrupt the local ecology. We’ve invested in low-emission machinery, helping us reduce our carbon footprint.

FAQ

When is the best time to surface farm roads?
The best time for farm roadway surfacing is spring or early autumn, when the ground isn’t frozen or waterlogged. 

When can the road be driven on after laying?
After our farm road surface repair and installation, you can use the road for light foot traffic from the next day onwards, while full load-bearing vehicles can be used after three to five days. Downtime is minimal, thanks to our use of advanced technology and equipment. However, the exact wait time depends on the material you’re using for resurfacing. L

How much will I pay for farm road surfacing?
The exact price of foam road surfacing depends on the material used and the length of the road. Tarmac has a higher upfront cost but is affordable in the long run. We’ll be able to present you with an accurate estimate after a site survey. Our pricing is transparent and competitive, giving you value for your money.

Is there a warranty for your work?
Yes, every farm roadway surfacing project conducted by us comes with a warranty. 

How should I maintain my farm roads after surface dressing?
To ensure the durability of your farm road, you should avoid waterlogging and oil spillages and undertake regular edging to avoid erosion. Check for signs of wear and tear, and get regular resurfacing done to avoid the need for expensive repairs.
