Building or maintaining a private road requires a combination of expert planning, proper materials, and skilled workmanship. At Ballina Tarmacadam Contractors, we specialise in delivering dependable, long-lasting private road solutions for residential clients, rural landowners, farms, and estates throughout County Mayo. Whether you need to create a new access road or restore an existing lane, our team is equipped to handle the job with precision and care.
Private roads serve a vital function. They provide essential access to homes, agricultural buildings, and private properties, often across remote or rugged terrain. Poorly constructed or damaged roads not only reduce accessibility but can also lead to higher maintenance costs for vehicles, increased erosion, and water pooling. That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to every project, ensuring that each road we build is structurally sound, durable, and properly drained.
Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your site. We examine the existing ground conditions, traffic expectations, slope, and drainage patterns. From there, we design a private road solution tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for a hard-wearing tarmacadam surface, a traditional tar and chip finish, or a cost-effective recycled asphalt base, we offer options that balance longevity with visual appeal.
We manage every phase of construction, from initial excavation and ground preparation to sub-base installation and surface finishing. Proper drainage is also a priority on every job. Without adequate water management, even the best road surfaces will deteriorate quickly. We incorporate techniques such as cambering, culverts, edge trimming, and soakaways to prevent water damage and extend the lifespan of your road.
Over time, weather exposure and regular traffic can wear down even the best-built roads. That’s why we also provide resurfacing and repair services for existing private lanes that are cracking, potholing, or becoming uneven. Our resurfacing approach includes leveling, sealing, and applying new surfacing layers to restore your road to a like-new condition.
Clients across Co. Mayo value our attention to detail and our commitment to quality. We take pride in being a local business that understands the challenges of working in rural and coastal environments. Our knowledge of Mayo’s soil types, drainage challenges, and weather conditions allows us to deliver superior results, no matter how remote or difficult the site may be.
Every project is completed with care, and we always strive to leave a clean, finished site with minimal disruption to your property. Whether you need a long farm access road, a shared laneway to rural homes, or a short drive leading to a countryside cottage, we’re here to help.
We serve the entire County Mayo region, including Castlebar, Ballina, Westport, Claremorris, Swinford, Ballinrobe, and surrounding towns and villages. With years of experience and a strong track record of satisfied clients, we’re confident in our ability to deliver the best private road solutions available.
