Horse Arenas and Sport Court Pads
Building an arena or a court?
Riding arenas, pickleball and basketball court pads, barn pads. Level, drained and built to hold up.

How it works
A riding arena or a court pad is a grading job where level actually matters and water has to leave. We shoot it with a laser and we build the base right.
We graded a 125x200 riding arena in Claremont, and cut the 60x60 pad for the pickleball courts there. We also did phase 1 of the dog park for the Town of Maiden.
Tell us the dimensions and the surface going on top, since that changes the base underneath.
What we need to know to quote it
Have these ready when you call and we can usually give you a number on the spot.
- What size, and what surface is going on it?
- Where is the site, and how much slope is on it now?
- Does it need clearing or fill first?
- Is this going out to bid, or are you hiring direct?
