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. Mini graders from our Melksham depot give you the level and the finish. If you are searching for grader hire near me in Melksham, call 01380 828988.
When Do You Need a Grader?
Farm tracks across Devizes, Marlborough and the Salisbury Plain take a beating through winter. Gravel driveways across Corsham, Bradford-on-Avon and the Bath fringe lose shape after heavy rain. Commercial yards and hardstandings across Trowbridge and Chippenham 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 limestone aggregate surfaces around Bath, the grader redistributes existing material without importing fresh stone. Call 01380 828988 and describe your surface.
Grader Hire Range
Large estate driveways around Corsham, Bradford-on-Avon and Bath are often surfaced in limestone aggregate — the Great Oolite stone that defines the area. After winter rain and vehicle traffic, these surfaces develop ruts, potholes and drainage problems. A mini grader reshapes the stone and re-establishes the crown in a single pass. The best time to grade is late spring once the ground has dried but before the summer hardens any ruts permanently.
The Melksham 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.

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 Melksham depot delivers graders across Trowbridge, Chippenham, Devizes, Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Warminster, Frome and the wider area.

Operated Grader Hire
For council and parish contracts across Wiltshire, 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 01380 828988 and add an operator when you book.
For larger properties and farms across Devizes, Warminster and Frome, 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 limestone aggregate?
Yes. Great Oolite limestone aggregate is common around Bath and Corsham. The grader redistributes existing stone and creates a clean crown without importing fresh material.
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.
