Services
Arena Design
We create customized equestrian arena designs considering site location, drainage, and client needs. Our team works with private owners and institutions to develop functional layouts that optimize rider safety and spectator experience. All designs include precise timelines and equipment schedules for transparent project management.
Arena Construction
From foundation to footing installation, we handle complete arena construction using specialized laser-grade equipment. Our process ensures proper drainage engineering and incorporates premium IGK/GGT footing materials. We build facilities ranging from casual riding spaces to competition-grade venues with durable, weather-resistant surfaces.
Arena Refurbishment
We restore existing arenas by addressing drainage issues, replacing worn footing, and improving stability with fiber additives. Our team evaluates current conditions to determine whether refurbishment or full replacement is more cost-effective, offering free consultations to guide clients toward optimal solutions for arena longevity.
Excavation Services
Beyond arenas, we provide comprehensive excavation services including land clearing, septic system installation, and building site preparation. Our owned equipment fleet enables efficient execution of projects ranging from small private developments to large-scale commercial site work with precise grading and drainage solutions.
Drainage Engineering
Our experts design and implement drainage systems that prevent water accumulation in extreme weather conditions. Using precision engineering techniques, we create arenas with proper slope gradients and subsurface drainage layers to maintain footing integrity and ensure horse and rider safety year-round.
