Expert Arena Construction with Proper Base and Drainage
At JDI Site Solutions, we begin every riding arena project with thorough site evaluation to assess drainage patterns, soil conditions, and space availability. Based on this analysis, we develop arena designs that work with your property’s natural features while meeting your specific riding needs. Our construction process starts with precise excavation and leveling to create a properly graded foundation. We then install drainage systems including perimeter drainage, crowned surfaces, or subsurface drainage layers to prevent water accumulation that can damage arena surfaces and create unsafe conditions.
The base layer is critical for arena performance and longevity. We install well-graded base materials that provide stable support, proper compaction to prevent settling and unevenness, and appropriate depth for your chosen footing material. Central Pennsylvania’s clay soils and seasonal precipitation require specific drainage solutions to keep arenas usable throughout the year. Our team understands these regional challenges and constructs arenas with drainage systems designed for Adams County’s soil types and rainfall patterns. We work with you to select appropriate footing materials whether sand, stone dust, or specialized arena surfaces that suit your riding discipline and budget. Licensed, bonded, and insured with $10 million in coverage, JDI Site Solutions delivers farm riding arenas built to the highest standards for safety, performance, and durability.
