Stonehaven sits where the A90 from Dundee meets the A92 coast road and the southern leg of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route, so a good deal of the sweeping work here follows road maintenance and the traffic that those junctions carry. Resurfacing, verge works and barrier repairs on the trunk road all leave planings and debris that have to be lifted before lanes reopen.
Within the town the demand is more varied. Housing has been built steadily on the higher ground to the north and west, and muck carried out of those sites onto estate roads is the most common reason for a call. Industrial units at Spurryhillock, the harbour and the steep, narrow streets of the old town add smaller, shorter jobs through the year.
Coverage in and around Stonehaven
An enquiry for Stonehaven can also cover Newtonhill, Muchalls and Portlethen to the north, Catterline and Inverbervie down the coast, and inland villages such as Drumlithie, Fetteresso and Rickarton. Sweepers normally travel in from the Aberdeen side, so availability is confirmed for each booking and short jobs are best grouped into one visit.
