Drainage is one of the most critical aspects of any equestrian facility. Poor drainage leads to unsafe riding conditions, footing degradation, and costly repairs. At Twelve Oaks Equine Construction, we engineer advanced drainage systems that move water efficiently and preserve the integrity of your arena year-round.
We tailor each drainage design to your land’s slope, soil type, and weather patterns to ensure proper runoff, quick drying time, and long-term arena performance.
We install gravel layers, perforated pipe systems, and geotextiles that direct water below the surface and away from the riding area.
Proper grading ensures surface water runs off without pooling. We design precise slopes that are subtle yet effective.
These systems help manage runoff from surrounding areas or barns. Installed with high-quality filter fabric and gravel for durability.
We implement swales, berms, or perimeter channels to divert heavy rainfall, protecting both the arena and nearby structures.
All our drainage solutions are low-maintenance, long-lasting, and seamlessly integrated into the arena’s base construction.
Poor drainage can cause footing breakdown, water pooling, and unsafe conditions. Good drainage extends the life of your arena and keeps it rideable year-round.
Surface drainage uses slope and contouring to shed water. Subsurface drainage uses underground pipes, gravel layers, and fabrics to carry water away below the surface.
Common signs include standing water, muddy footing, or uneven drying. We can inspect and recommend the best solution for your situation.
Yes, we retrofit drainage systems into existing arenas with minimal disruption, depending on your current base and layout.
Grading is crucial, but often not enough on its own. A well-graded arena paired with subsurface systems offers the most reliable drainage.
Yes, we use high-quality geotextile fabric and properly sized aggregate to ensure long-term performance and prevent clogging.
