Grazing ground in Dorset, and what it needs.

Chalk downland across much of the county, the heavy clay of the Blackmore Vale to the north, and free-draining heath and gravel towards Poole. Downland dries early; Blackmore Vale clay is slow and poaches badly.

The grass gets away from you quickly. Paddocks often need topping more than once through the season. Wait for the ground to dry before harrowing or rolling, and be realistic about machinery access on soft clay.

Not sure which of those your field needs? Describe what it looks like and the contractor will tell you: that’s their job, not yours.

One description, the right contractor.

You don’t need to know the machinery, the acreage or the technical term for the job. That’s our end.

Describe the job

In your own words: long grass, an overgrown paddock, a field that needs putting right. A photo of the field and the gateway helps, but isn’t required.

We sort the details

We work out what the job actually needs, check the area and the access, and confirm it all back to you before it goes anywhere.

Contractors get in touch

The job goes to contractors covering your county. Whoever’s keen contacts you directly, and you choose who does the work. Free, with no obligation to accept a quote.

Who does paddock maintenance in Dorset?

We pass jobs to agricultural contractors covering Dorset: 36 of them are in the network today. Describe what needs doing and the ones who cover your area get in touch with you directly.

How much does paddock topping cost in Dorset?

It depends on the acreage, how heavy the growth is, how good the access is for machinery and how far the contractor travels to reach you, so the price comes from the contractor who’d do the work, not from us. Describing the job takes a minute and quotes are free.

Will someone come out to a small paddock in Dorset?

Yes. A single pony paddock is a perfectly normal job. We handle work for private paddock owners and one-horse fields through to equestrian yards, smallholdings, farms and estates across Dorset.

What if my field is in Dorset but near the border?

Not a problem. Give us the postcode and we’ll match on where the field actually is. Contractors work across county lines all the time, and plenty cover more than one county.

Who runs this?

Emmerdale Agriculture Online Ltd, the company behind Hampshire Paddock Management, a contracting firm that does paddock work every day. You book and pay through us, and the contractor does the work.

How do I pay?

A 15% deposit by card to book the job, and the rest once the work is done and you have confirmed it, taken from the same card, due within 7 days of sign-off. The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel.
