Durable, low-maintenance access routes and working surfaces.
From machinery routes to feeding zones, busy farms need hard-wearing tracks and hardstandings that stand up to daily demands. Built to handle heavy traffic and all-weather use, our surfaces are practical, properly drained, and built to last.
Build Once, Use Every Day
Whether you need a new access track, a service route across fields, or hardstanding for feeding, parking or storage, our solutions are designed to reduce mud, minimise maintenance, and increase efficiency. Every surface is professionally installed with proper base layers, cambering, and edge retention, tailored to the weight and frequency of use.

Our Build Process
On-Site Assessment and Planning: We walk the route or area with you to understand usage, soil type, slope, and access issues. This helps us design the best structure and layout.
Design and Specification: We plan levels, camber, base depth, drainage needs, and surfacing material. You’ll receive a clear proposal with timeline and cost.
Ground Preparation: Topsoil is removed and the area graded. We install edge supports or retaining measures where needed and compact the base layer.
Drainage and Surface Installation: We lay drainage channels, pipework, or soakaways where necessary. The surface is laid in layers—compacted and stabilised for long-term performance.
Finishing and Handover: We review the full route or area, check drainage, clean up the site, and walk it with you to ensure everything’s ready for use.
Will Riggall, Jockey Club Estates
From the design to implementation, Tom has been extremely helpful and accommodating along the way… The build was challenging as it was centrally located on the gallops which remained in use by over 700 racehorses daily… Tom’s team were courteous and flexible to our customer’s needs at all times. I would have no hesitation but to recommend Tomley Projects for all civils and equestrian construction needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
We typically use compacted gravel, crushed stone, or tarmac depending on load, drainage, and use frequency.
Yes. We can excavate, regrade, install a proper base, and resurface existing tracks for much better performance.
All tracks and hardstandings are built with camber or crossfall to shed water. We also install pipework or soakaways where needed.
Concrete is ideal for cleanability and durability. We can also install compacted stone or rubber-matted surfaces.
This is completely dependent on the length of the track, the material used, and terrain. We can advise on timescales once we have determined the scope of the project.
Yes. We can shape and edge tracks to follow contours and use materials that match your land.
Absolutely. We factor in terrain, flow of water, and traffic when designing to prevent washouts and ruts.
Yes – our surfaces are engineered to handle tractors, loaders, and other farm vehicles without failure.
