A farm track full of ruts and potholes. A gravel surface that has spread and dipped after winter. A commercial yard that needs regrading. You cannot fix these with a bucket — you need a blade. Coppard’s mini graders reshape, level and crown surfaces in a fraction of the time, available for farm tracks, estate roads and commercial yards across Steyning, Henfield and the South Downs, from our Southwick depot. If you are searching for grader hire near me in Brighton, call 01273 596 979.
When Do You Need a Grader?
Farm tracks across Steyning, Henfield and the South Downs take a beating through winter. Gravel driveways across Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks and the Weald Clay fringe lose shape after heavy rain. Commercial yards and hardstandings across Shoreham-by-Sea and Southwick develop dips and drainage issues. A mini grader reshapes, levels and crowns the surface in a fraction of the time it takes with a bucket and roller. The blade cuts high spots, fills low spots and creates a consistent crown for drainage. On chalk and flint surfaces across the Downs, the grader redistributes existing material without importing fresh stone. Call 01273 596 979 and describe your surface.
Grader Hire Range
Farm tracks and estate drives across the South Downs above Steyning and Henfield are often surfaced in chalk and flint — hard-wearing material that still ruts and potholes after winter rain and vehicle traffic. A mini grader reshapes the surface and re-establishes the crown in a single pass. The best time to grade is late spring once the ground has dried but before summer hardens any ruts permanently.
The Southwick depot stocks mini graders with adjustable blade angles for farm tracks, estate roads and commercial surfaces. The blade width covers typical track and driveway widths in a single pass.
Mini graders are compact enough to access estate drives and farm gateways. For larger levelling projects, the grader covers more ground in a day than a telehandler with a levelling bar.
Full specifications for the complete grader range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Grader Hire Across Brighton, Hove and West Sussex
The blade angle determines the cut pattern. Angled for planing — removing high spots and redistributing material along the length of the track. Straight for finishing — creating a level surface from loose material. Crown angle for drainage — raising the centre of the track so water runs to the edges. The operator sets the blade for each pass depending on the current condition and the required finish.
Our Southwick depot delivers graders across Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Worthing, Steyning, Henfield, Burgess Hill and the wider area.

Operated Grader Hire
For estates and parish contracts across West Sussex, farm track and byway maintenance is an ongoing requirement. If you maintain green lanes, bridleways or unclassified roads, a mini grader produces a better finish than a bucket and is significantly cheaper than a full-size highway grader.
Mini graders are available with an operator if you want the job done without learning the machine. The operator sets blade angle, crown and depth to suit your surface. Operated hire is booked as a single package.
Call 01273 596 979 and add an operator when you book.
For larger properties and farms across Steyning, Henfield and the South Downs, regular grading keeps tracks and yards serviceable year-round. Some estates book an annual grading pass as routine maintenance — call ahead for planned work.

Frequently Asked Questions — Grader Hire
What surfaces can a mini grader handle?
Farm tracks, gravel driveways, estate roads, commercial yards and hardstandings. Any loose or aggregate surface that needs reshaping, levelling or crowning for drainage.
Can a grader work on chalk and flint surfaces?
Yes. Chalk with flint bands is common across the South Downs around Steyning and Henfield. The grader redistributes existing material and creates a clean crown without importing fresh stone.
How long does it take to grade a farm track?
A typical 200-metre farm track takes half a day to a day depending on condition. Severely rutted tracks may need loose material adding before grading. Call us with the length and condition.
