Costs will depend on the condition (number and depth of potholes), original build, and size of your track. As an example a 500m tanker lane with moderate potholes would cost $760 + GST.

Please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.
A rough, potholed track or drive adds to vehicle wear and tear and can be a safety issue for you and your staff.

Pothole - noun. A hole in a road surface that results from gradual damage caused by traffic and/or weather. (Thanks to the Cambridge Dictionary.)
As to the origin of the word, one theory is it dates back to the 15th–16th centuries. Potters would source clay directly from road surfaces to make their pots, resulting in hazardous 'potholes' for wagon wheels. Another, that it first appeared in 1800's and referred to the natural cavity in rock, often found in caves or riverbeds.
