Pothole & driveway repair
in Makarewa.
Makarewa, Wallacetown and Lorneville sit on busy dairy flats where every driveway doubles as a work road - tankers, stock trucks, contractors and the school run all sharing the same strip of gravel. Holes appear fast under that traffic, and they grow even faster once the rain gets into them.
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.
