Driveways, farm tracks and surfacing in Billingshurst

Billingshurst is about seven miles south-west of Horsham, where the A29 meets the A272. It is close to home for us, and we cover the village and the farmland around it: Coolham, Adversane, Wisborough Green, Kirdford, Loxwood and Five Oaks.

Rural work around Billingshurst

Much of the work out here is rural. Farm tracks, yard areas, long private drives, equestrian yards and the access to converted barns and holiday lets. The ground is Weald clay, which holds water and goes soft through the winter, so a track that was fine in August can rut badly by February. A track that lasts needs a proper stone base, a camber or crossfall to shed water, and ditches or grips that actually take it away.

Not every track needs tarmac. Road planings, a traditional stone track or tar-and-chip surface dressing are often better value for a long rural run. Our guide on what a farm track costs explains the options.

Driveways in the village

In Billingshurst itself we lay tarmac, resin and block paved driveways. The approach is the same on every one: check what is under the old surface, deal with the water, then lay a construction that suits the vehicles using it.
