Farm yard concreting is the laying of reinforced or mass concrete across the working areas of a farm, from collecting and feed yards to building aprons and farm hardstanding for machinery. A concrete yard has to carry loaded tractors and stock every day, stand up to slurry and silage effluent, and drain to the right place.
The slab is only one part of it. What sits underneath, the excavation, the compacted sub-base and the falls, decides whether a yard stays level and dry or cracks, ponds and breaks up.
Luna Maintenance Ltd lays agricultural concrete across West Cornwall as part of our wider agricultural groundworks work, so the yard, the drainage and the buildings around it are planned together.
The Farm Concrete Work We Deliver
Collecting, feed and loafing yards
Yards where stock gather and feed, laid with a grip finish and falls that carry dirty water to a channel and on to the store.
Farm hardstanding for machinery and storage
Heavy-duty standing for tractors, trailers, implements, bales and stored materials, designed to the weight it will carry and the turning wheels that grind it. It can sit on its own or extend an existing yard.
Building aprons and access areas
Aprons at the doors of sheds and stores, where the heaviest daily wear on a farm happens, joined to the floor slab and the track beyond.
Clamp aprons and yard links
The concrete that joins a yard to a silage clamp or slurry store, laid to keep effluent in the right channel. The clamp and store themselves are covered on our silage clamps and slurry stores page.
Clean and dirty water separation
Falls, channels, kerbs and gullies that keep clean roof and yard water away from dirty areas, so only what needs storing reaches the store.
Break-out and replacement
Old, cracked or broken yards broken out with the excavator breakers and replaced from a new sub-base up, with the drainage redesigned while the ground is open. We can arrange muck away for the old concrete as part of the job.
Our Farm Concrete Work
Our farm concrete work includes building pads and silage-shed bases poured by our own team, alongside the tracks, arenas and building groundworks we deliver on farms across West Cornwall. Every job described here was carried out by our own team.

"He is a consummate professional at what he does."
"They did the project promptly and charged exactly what they quoted, even doing a few extra bits for me whilst they were on site."
What a Well-Laid Farm Yard Gives You
A yard that stays level and soundA compacted sub-base and a slab designed to its load resist the cracking, rocking and breaking up that heavy daily traffic causes, year after year.
Safer footing for stock and staffA grooved or brushed finish gives cattle, sheep and people grip in the wet, cutting the risk of slips across the busiest parts of the farm.
Less dirty water to storeFalls and channels that keep clean water apart mean less rainwater reaches your slurry store, so its capacity is kept for the slurry it was built to hold and there is less to handle over the winter.
Easier to keep cleanA well-finished, well-drained yard scrapes and washes down quickly, with no hollows holding water or muck, so less of your day goes into keeping it tidy.
How We Lay Your Farm Yard
Walk the yard with us.
We visit free of charge to look at the ground, how stock and machinery use the space, and where the clean and dirty water should go.
Agree the plan in writing.
Your written quote sets out the area, the sub-base, the concrete, the finish, the falls and the drainage, with the specification and the price.
Excavate and drain.
We break out any old concrete, dig to formation and lay the channels and drainage runs while the ground is open.
Build the base and pour.
The sub-base is compacted in layers, the formwork set to the falls, and the concrete poured with joints placed to control cracking.
Finish and hand over.
The surface is grooved or brushed for grip, left to cure before use, and we walk the finished yard with you.
Why Farms Choose Luna Maintenance for Concrete Yards
The way a yard drains is regulated as well as practical. Under the Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) (England) Regulations 2010, slurry includes mixtures of livestock excreta with bedding, rainwater and washings from a yard used by livestock. Every area of dirty yard draining to your store adds to what the store must hold, so we set the falls to keep clean water out of it.
Groundworks first. The excavation, sub-base and drainage beneath the slab are our core work, and they decide how long the yard lasts.
Break-out to finish in one team. Our own 14-tonne excavator and breakers take out old concrete, and the same team lays the new yard.
