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.

Drainage Solutions We Offer:

  • Subsurface Drainage Systems

We install gravel layers, perforated pipe systems, and geotextiles that direct water below the surface and away from the riding area.

  • Grading and Slope Optimization

Proper grading ensures surface water runs off without pooling. We design precise slopes that are subtle yet effective.

  • French Drains and Trenching

These systems help manage runoff from surrounding areas or barns. Installed with high-quality filter fabric and gravel for durability.

  • Surface Water Management

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.
