Reviewed on Cornish TradersAgricultural and Equestrian Groundworks, Built Around the Farm
Luna Maintenance Ltd is a groundworks and plant contractor based in Hayle, led by Ross Kitto, who brings 29 years in the trade to every job. Ross formed the company in 2023 to bring that experience under one name, and today a close team of five delivers the complete groundworks package across West Cornwall, from start to completion.
The farm and the yard are where we are most at home. We build horse arenas and stable bases, put up steel-frame agricultural buildings on bases we have poured ourselves, and lay the tracks, yards, clamps and stores that a working farm depends on.
Everything runs on our own fleet, from a 14-tonne excavator to 2-tonne minis for tight access, so our machines are ready to go the moment your project is, with the right machine on site for every stage. Alongside the farms we work for homeowners, landlords and builders, transforming outdoor spaces across West Cornwall with driveways, patios and hard landscaping built on the same groundwork.

From a new ménage to a resin driveway, every job starts with the ground. We dig, drain and build the base ourselves, then take the work through to the finished surface, so one contractor is accountable for the whole job.
Agricultural and Equestrian Groundworks
Horse arena construction with the drainage and sub-base an arena lives on. Agricultural groundworks for the whole farm, including agricultural buildings from base to erected frame, farm track construction, farm concrete yards, and silage clamps and slurry stores built to the regulations. Each is planned around your stock, your machinery and the way the farm actually works.
