Yards and entrances

Built for
heavy vehicles.

A yard takes vans, lorries and turning wheels in the same spots every day. Most yard failures start below the surface, so the base is built for the heaviest vehicle that will use it, and the tarmac is machine-laid in two courses on top.

Sites

Yards and
entrances we do.

Unit and depot yards

Loading areas and turning space for vans and lorries.

Shop and pub entrances

Forecourts and customer parking at the front door.

Farm yards and lanes

Access lanes and yards for machinery and deliveries.

Office car parks

Staff and visitor parking, resurfaced or built new.

Opening hours

Phasing the work

Most businesses cannot close the yard or the front door for a week. The work is planned around opening hours.

Sections done in turn so deliveries can still get in.
Customer entrances done early morning or on the quietest day.
Vehicles back on a section once the tarmac has cooled.

Repairs

Repairs between resurfacing

Where a yard is mostly sound, the worst areas can be repaired properly and the full resurface left for later.

Potholes and ruts repaired to full depth.
Sunken areas at gates and doors rebuilt.
Ironwork in the yard reset level.

Sub-base

Base depth
by traffic.

Traffic	Typical starting depth
Cars, for comparison	150 to 200mm of compacted stone
Vans and lorries	250 to 300mm of compacted stone
Soft or wet ground	Deeper, set once the ground is opened

These are trade-standard starting points; the depth for your yard is set on site.
