Pothole & driveway repair
in Lumsden.
Driveways and entrances around Lumsden, Five Rivers and Athol handle real traffic - stock trucks, tourists cutting through to Te Anau, and everything the farm generates itself. A potholed entrance is the first thing every one of them hits.
How I sort it
The short version
- Cut out the failure
- The power rake cuts the hole and its soft edges right out, down to base - no loose gravel tipped into wet holes.
- Fix the drainage
- The repair goes back with proper fall, so water sheds off instead of sitting there starting the next hole.
- One visit, whole surface
- Corrugations and rough edges get sorted while the machine is there, so the driveway comes right in one go.

The local picture
Around Lumsden
Northern Southland gravel is generally good, hard rock, which means once I cut the failed spots out and re-lay them with proper fall and compaction, repairs up here hold exceptionally well. The problem is rarely the rock, it is the shape. Lumsden is a comfortable run up from Winton, and I usually pair pothole work with other jobs in the district to keep your cost sensible.
Getting to you
Lumsden is a bit over half an hour up SH6 from Winton, and I make sure a trip north covers everything you need doing in one visit.

One machine on site can knock off more than one job. If any of these need doing too, mention it when you call and I will price the lot together.
