Local focus
Working in and around Kirkby Stephen
Upland conditions
Exposure, altitude and high rainfall compress the working season and demand realistic programmes with weather contingency.
Narrow dale access
Delivery vehicle size and turning space along the dale roads determine how concrete, stone and plant reach a site.
Variable ground
Ground can change from peat to rock over short distances, so method and price should acknowledge that rather than assume uniform digging.
