Your arena is only as good as its base.

Most arena problems start underground — poor grade, no drainage, the wrong footing depth. We build the base right so the surface rides level and dries fast, season after season.

What we build

Equestrian site work, done right the first time.

From a backyard riding ring to a full ranch build-out. Same iron, same standards as Eco Site Works — tuned for horse properties.

Riding arena construction

Laser-graded base, proper sub-drainage, and footing laid to depth. Dressage, jumping, reining, or all-around — built flat and consistent.

Base · Laser grade · Footing · Drainage

Paddock & pasture grading

Level low spots, fix the slope, and stop the standing water that turns paddocks to mud. Regrade and reseed-ready.

Leveling · Slope · Mud control

Ranch driveways

Shell, limerock, and rock driveways and lanes built to carry trucks and trailers — graded to drain and easy to maintain.

Shell · Limerock · Trailer-ready

Equestrian drainage

French drains, swales, and runoff systems that keep arenas, barns, and paddocks dry through Florida's rainy season.

Round pens & pads

Round pen pads graded and footed, plus level pads for shelters, wash racks, and arenas' approach areas.

Barn & shelter pads

Compacted, engineered pads for barns, run-ins, and hay storage — set to spec and ready to build on.

Custom ranch fencing

Board, rail, and ranch-rail fencing built to last. Paddocks, arenas, and property lines. Posts set plumb, lines run straight.

Why the base matters

Good footing starts three layers down.

"A beautiful surface over a bad base won't last a season. We build from the ground up — grade, drainage, then footing — so it rides right and stays that way."

We set a laser-level sub-base, build in positive drainage so water leaves fast, then lay footing to the depth your discipline needs. The result is an arena that stays consistent, drains after a storm, and is kinder on your horses' legs.

We're horse people ourselves — we build the footing we'd want under our own.

Built right. Ride better.

We're horse people too.

We know what good footing and honest fencing mean to a horse and the people who ride. We build the setups we'd want on our own place.
