š **A GREAT ARENA STARTS WITH WHATāS UNDER THE FOOTING.**
Hereās a look at one of our current arena projects in **Gainesville, Florida**.
At **Skipper Siteworks / Coast to Coast Covered Arenas**, we donāt just spread material until it ālooks level.ā We build arenas with the same precision and attention to grade that we bring to commercial sitework.
Our arena construction process focuses on:
ā¢ **Laser-controlled grading** to maintain precise elevations, consistent slope, and positive drainage
ā¢ **Proper lift thickness and compaction** so the base is built solid from the ground up
ā¢ Precise final grading before footing is installed
ā¢ Drainage designed into the arena instead of trying to fix water problems afterward
ā¢ Footing installed at a consistent depth across the entire riding surface
An arena can look perfect when itās finished and still fail if the base underneath it wasnāt built correctly. Soft spots, inconsistent footing depths, standing water, rutting, and uneven compaction usually start with shortcuts during construction.
**We donāt build arenas by eye. We build them to grade.**
From site preparation and drainage to base construction, laser grading, compaction, footing, and complete covered arena packages, we can handle the project from the dirt up.
