Frequently Asked Questions
Why is farm drainage important?
Farm drainage is crucial because poorly managed water can damage soil, reduce crop yields, and create unsafe areas for livestock. Without effective drainage, waterlogging can suffocate plant roots, limit growth and encourage weed or pest infestations. Long-term, erosion and nutrient leaching can degrade soil quality, making land less productive. Proper drainage systems direct water safely, protecting pastures and infrastructure.
What types of trenching are used in farming?
Trenching in farming varies depending on the property’s needs. Common methods include open trenches for irrigation and drainage, sub-surface drains to move water underground, and service trenches for pipes or cables. Each type requires careful planning to ensure it follows natural land contours and avoids disrupting soil stability. Using specialist machinery helps create accurate, long-lasting trenches that handle heavy water flow and weather extremes.
How do I know if my property needs better drainage?
Signs of poor drainage include standing water after rain, boggy paddocks where livestock congregate, stunted crop growth, or erosion around gullies and slopes. Even if water eventually disperses, repeated pooling can cause long-term damage to soil and pastures. If areas remain unusable for days after rain or infrastructure shows water damage, it’s likely time to consider a professional drainage solution.
