Slipping cows cost you more than you think

A cow that slips loses condition. A cow that goes down can lose production for weeks. On wet concrete, it's not a matter of if — it's when.

Some farmers put up with the losses. Smart farmers call us.

Grooving your concrete fixes it

We grind grooves directly into your existing concrete — cowsheds, yards, races, car parks, boat ramps. No new surface required. No major downtime. Just concrete that grips.

Crosshatch grooves cut straight into the existing cowshed floor.

Cows move with confidence. Fewer injuries, less stress, better production.
Your shed runs faster. Cows that walk well get in and out quicker. Every morning.
One job, done once. Grooves don't wear off.

More farmer feedback on concrete grooving

"Completely different herd to milk. Cows are flowing through the shed much better. No more slips and faster milking times."
Trevor — Patetonga

"It instantly showed in the stock. They felt secure and were 100% more settled."
Kelly & Tina Woollier

"Fitted in with our milking times. Good communication. Cows no longer slip on the yard — much easier to draft and handle."
Graham & Odele Wells

Still thinking about it?

"I should have done the whole yard first off."

— Kelly & Tina Woollier

The farmers who wait longest are usually the ones who say that. One grooved section and they see the results, then wish they'd done the rest sooner.

We don't recommend patch jobs — they move the problem a few metres and leave the rest of your yard untreated. Do the whole yard, or the whole feed pad. That's what fixes it.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you call.

What are my alternatives to grooving?

The two main alternatives are scabbling and rubber matting. Scabbling might look appealing due to its cheaper price, but it doesn't last — the rough texture makes washdown more difficult and traps effluent, while the harsh surface can cause severe hoof wear and lameness. Rubber matting is comfortable in stationary standing areas like backing gates or the parlour exit, but it is the most expensive option, and moisture and pathogens can collect beneath the panels while mats tear and shift in high-traffic areas. For your transit lanes, yards and races, grooving is cut permanently into the concrete for a fraction of the cost. We have grooved over plenty of old scabbled yards. See the full scabbling vs rubber matting vs grooving comparison → Spend once and spend wisely.

Will it wreck the concrete?

No. We use a wet-saw diamond blade to cut precise grooves into the surface without breaking, chipping, or weakening the slab. There's no coating, no grinding damage, and no structural impact when done correctly. The concrete stays intact and is safer and more functional.

How long does the grooving last?

The grooving lasts for the lifetime of your concrete. The grooves are cut into the concrete itself, not applied on top, so they don't peel, flake, or wear off like coatings.

Does it make a lot of mess or dust?

No. We use a wet-cutting method, so there is zero dust or airborne debris. The remaining slurry can be easily cleared away using your normal yard washdown procedures.

Does grooving make it safer for farm workers?

Yes. While the main job is keeping cows on their feet, the extra grip makes a huge difference for staff, side-by-sides, and tractors. It significantly cuts down the risk of slips and accidents for everyone working in the yard, especially during wet winter milkings.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. Every job comes with our workmanship guarantee. Our wet-saw method cuts deep, permanent grooves that are built to last, and nothing should ever go wrong with the cut itself. As Neil says, "I've never had a comeback in over 20 years." If there is ever an issue with the quality of our cuts, we will come back and make it right at no charge.
