Well-built equestrian arenas and paddocks rely on proper subgrade, drainage, and base layering to ensure sound footing, reduced maintenance, and horse safety—especially important for Florida’s sandy soils and wet climate.
What We Build
- Outdoor riding arenas
- Turnout paddocks
- Dry lots / sacrifice areas
- Access lanes & drainage tie-ins
Core Elements
- Site orientation (sun, wind, drainage)
- Clearing & initial prep
- Subgrade shaping & compaction
- Drainage integration
- Base aggregate (angular, compacted)
- Footing prep (client-specified materials)
- Edge & containment solutions
Drainage Priority
Proper slope (often 1–1.5%) + perimeter collection prevents saturation and preserves footing integrity across Florida’s rainy seasons.
Paddock Durability
- Reinforced gate zones
- Mud control layers
- Controlled runoff slopes
- Manure runoff separation
Sustainability
Selective clearing, geotextile longevity, runoff management reducing sediment export, and preserving strategic windbreak trees.
