Farm Groundworks in Cumbria
SHS carries out farm groundworks throughout Cumbria: building platforms, pad foundations, concrete aprons, yard reconstruction, drainage, tracks and hardstanding.
54.577° N / 2.795° W
Farm work is planned around the business. Stock still needs feeding and machinery still has to move while the work is going on.
Local focus
Working in and around Cumbria
Yards and hardstanding
Surfaces specified for real agricultural loading and cleaning regimes, with falls and drainage that keep clean and dirty water separate.
Tracks and access
Formation, geotextiles, layered sub-base and drainage so tracks survive loaded traffic through a Cumbrian winter.
Sequencing around the farm
Programmes planned around silage, lambing, calving, harvest and daily routines rather than imposed on them.
Cumbria — common questions
SHS works throughout Cumbria and surrounding areas, including Penrith, Carlisle, Kendal, Keswick, Appleby, Kirkby Stephen, the Eden Valley, the South Lakes and West Cumbria. Distance is factored into pricing and discussed openly.
