Auckland Feed Pads and Feed Bunkers
Durable feed pads with grooved, non-slip finishes and runoff managed from the start.
Feed Pads and Feed Bunkers in Auckland
A feed pad keeps stock off wet ground and keeps feed clean, but only if it drains well and gives animals grip. We build concrete feed pads and feed bunkers across rural Auckland with grooved, non-slip finishes and falls that move effluent and runoff to a collection point.
We prepare the subgrade with our own machinery, set the falls, and pour a reinforced slab that stands up to stock, loaders and daily scraping. Runoff management is planned from the start so the pad performs through winter and stays easier to keep clean.

Feed Pads and Bunkers Services in Auckland
Feed Pads and Bunkers
We build concrete feed pads and bunkers for Auckland farms that keep stock out of the mud, reduce feed wastage and support animal health through wet winters and heavy rain.
Secure Non-Slip Footing
Grooved and non-slip surface finishes give cattle secure footing while feeding, and help control wear on hooves, so the pad remains comfortable, safe and practical for busy daily livestock use.
Runoff Drainage Designed In
Falls and drainage are designed to shed rainwater and runoff quickly, preventing ponding around feed areas and directing nutrient-rich water to storage or treatment as your farm system actually requires.
Carries Feed-Out Machinery
Slabs are reinforced and jointed to carry feed-out machinery, loaders and trucks, resisting the constant scraping and impact that quickly destroys thin or poorly prepared concrete surfaces on busy farms.
One Contractor, Start to Finish
Our own earthmoving fleet prepares the site, compacts the subgrade and manages cartage, giving you a single contractor responsible for the whole project from excavation right through to final finish.

Feed Pads and Bunkers Experts in Auckland: How We Work
We own our diggers, trucks and compaction equipment, so the groundwork and the concrete are handled by one team from start to finish.
Site visit and quote
We visit the farm, discuss herd numbers, feeding system and layout, then give a clear written quote.
Excavation and subgrade
We excavate and compact the subgrade, setting falls so rainwater and runoff drain away from feeding areas.
Formwork and reinforcement
We set edges, reinforcement and joints to the specification, built for loaders, trucks and daily scraping.
The pour
We place the concrete to the right thickness and grade across the pad and any bunker bays.
Finishing and curing
We groove the surface for secure stock footing and long life, then cure the concrete before use.
Handover
We complete a final check, tidy the site and advise when stock can use the pad.

Each slab is reinforced and jointed for loaders and trucks, and built to engineer specifications and council requirements. We plan pours around your feeding routine and the weather, keeping disruption low and your stock moving. You receive a clear written quote, honest advice on layout and drainage, and a tidy site at handover. Contact us for a free on-site quote today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a feed pad need a grooved finish?
Grooving gives stock grip on a surface that is often wet, which reduces slipping and injuries. It also helps the pad shed water and stay cleaner.
How is runoff from a feed pad managed?
We grade the pad to a collection point so effluent and runoff can be directed into your management system, which helps keep the pad compliant and tidy.
Can a feed pad take a loader and scraper?
Yes. We reinforce and size the slab for the machinery you use, so daily scraping and loader traffic will not break down the surface.
How big can a feed pad be?
Feed pads vary widely by herd size. We can pour small pads or large areas in staged sections with proper joints to manage cracking.
Do you install the bunker walls?
We can form feed bunker walls as part of the pad where they are needed, so the structure holds feed and controls runoff together.
