Dairy lane repair
in Invercargill.
The dairy platforms around Invercargill run right up to the city edge - Myross Bush, Roslyn Bush, Kennington, out toward Awarua and Woodend. Herds are big, soils are heavy, and a lane that has lost its crown turns into a drain by the middle of June. That is the lane work I sort.
How I sort it
The short version
- Shape first
- I regrade the lane and get the crown back so water runs off instead of sitting in the ruts.
- The right rock, only where needed
- Existing metal gets reused where it is sound, and I cart in fresh rock where the lane is starved.
- A cow-friendly finish
- The power rake screens the coarse stone out of the top and leaves a firm, even surface that is easy on feet.

The local picture
Around Invercargill
Lanes down this way cop some of the wettest winters in the province, so drainage is everything. I rebuild the crown so water sheds into the paddock side instead of tracking down the lane, cut out the soft spots that pump, and cap the surface with screened metal the herd can walk comfortably. Invercargill is about half an hour from my base at Winton, so a look and a quote is an easy trip.
