Dairy lane repair
in Riverton.
The dairy country behind Riverton - Thornbury, Flints Bush, Gummies Bush, out toward Colac Bay - farms some of the most exposed coastal ground in Southland. Between the sea weather and the heavy flats, lanes here get tested from above and below at the same time.
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 Riverton
Coastal westerlies drive a lot of rain across the Aparima flats, so a Riverton-area lane lives or dies on how fast it sheds water. I rebuild crowns, open drainage paths off the lane and cap it with a compacted, screened surface that stands up to the wet. It is about half an hour over from Winton via Thornbury, so getting me across for a look is easy.
Getting to you
