Driveways: Repairs & Drainage
Rural driveways built or repaired with proper drainage and durable compacted surfaces.
Your driveway isn’t just a surface—it’s a key access point on a farm, lifestyle block or rural property. At Taylors Rural Services we specialise in driveway construction, repairs and drainage solutions tailored to rural terrain. From heavy‑vehicle access to wet‑season runoff, we build and repair driveways to perform in real conditions.
Whether your existing driveway has potholes, ruts, erosion issues, poor drainage or needs full reconstruction, we provide end‑to‑end service. Our process starts with site assessment: we inspect current conditions, vehicle loads, drainage pattern, soil type and slope. Then we plan a repair or rebuild that uses durable base material, proper compaction, right‑sized culverts or pipes and shaping to shed water away.
We also install drainage systems—culverts, side‑drains, swales—that manage waterflow, prevent undercutting and protect the driveway’s structural integrity. Our repair service might include grading, fresh aggregates, patching damaged sections and re‑compacting. For new builds, we offer full excavation, base rock, surfacing, edge strips and finishing.
We understand that rural properties face seasonal and load challenges that urban driveways don’t. That’s why we use materials suited to local conditions, apply best‑practice compaction, and build access routes that can handle tractors, utes, trailers and heavy machinery.
You’ll get a service that includes site cleanup, safe work practices, minimal disruption and a finished driveway ready for use. Simply get in touch with us, outline your access issues or damage zones, and we’ll provide a solution.
No online booking required—call today for a quote and let’s get your driveway working for you.
