Farm Roads in Bolton and the North West
Farm access has to take tractors, trailers and delivery lorries on ground that is often soft. We build the road up from a sub-base sized for the loading, with the falls designed so water leaves the track rather than sitting in it. Finishes range from a compacted stone track to a full tarmac surface, depending on the traffic and the budget.
Farm and estate roads carry heavy loads on ground that is often soft, so they need proper planning, groundwork and the right materials. We build and resurface farm access roads to last, advise on whether a stone or tarmac finish suits the traffic and the budget, and set the falls so water leaves the track rather than sitting in it.
What’s included
- A sub-base sized for tractors, trailers and lorries
- Falls designed so water leaves the track
- A compacted stone or full tarmac finish
- Edge detailing to hold the track together

Why us
Why choose THB Contractors
With over 20 years of experience serving Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, we are a first choice for driveways and surfacing across the region. You are trusting someone to dig up the front of your property, or to take a car park out of use for a few days, so it is worth knowing how we work before you do. We keep it simple: a proper look before we price, the base built for the ground we actually find, and the same team on the job from the first visit to the last sweep-up.
Over 20 years’ experience
Two decades laying driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West, with a reputation built on quality workmanship and reliable, tidy jobs.
A written, itemised quote
You get the price in writing after a site visit, so there are no surprises once the job starts.
The base done properly
Most surfaces fail from underneath. We build the base for the ground we find, not a one-size dig-out.
The same people throughout
You deal with the same team from the quote to the day the job finishes.
Domestic and commercial
From a single driveway to a full car park, priced and planned the same careful way.
The price
What affects the price
Every job is quoted after a free site visit, so the price fits the work in front of us rather than a guess off a description. The main things that move the figure:
- The length of the track and the ground conditions
- The traffic and loading it has to carry
- The falls and the finish chosen
- Access and haulage of materials
