Creating the right environment for your horses starts from the ground up. Whether you’re planning a new arena, improving existing facilities, or expanding your yard, the quality of your groundwork affects how well everything functions and how long it lasts. Getting it right means fewer maintenance issues, better drainage, and safer, more comfortable surfaces for horses and riders.
We help horse owners, trainers, and yard managers across Surrey, Hampshire, and West Sussex build and improve their equestrian facilities with confidence.
We have delivered projects for a range of equestrian clients, including private riding arenas, sand schools, training paddocks, stable bases, and farm infrastructure such as access tracks and water management systems.
Our Equestrian Services Include:
We Know Equestrian projects require a practical understanding of how facilities are used every day, by people and by horses. That’s why we work closely with you throughout, offering clear communication, practical advice and a tidy, professional service from start to finish.
Whether you’re upgrading a small private paddock or developing a full equestrian complex, our aim is simple: to give you confidence that your facilities are built on the right foundations. The result is a safe, long-lasting, and professional environment that supports your horses’ health, performance, and comfort, and one that looks as good as it performs.
Answers to some of the most common questions about our equestrian groundwork services.
We can prepare groundwork for most equestrian facilities including arenas, yards, and stable foundations. Any Building construction, gates and fencing would require a suitable building firm or specialist fencing provider.
Yes. Before any construction begins, we’ll assess the ground conditions and drainage on your site to recommend the most effective setup for your arena or yard. We’ll also help you choose a suitable riding surface — whether sand, fibre, or a mixed material — based on how the arena will be used and the level of maintenance you prefer. Our goal is to create a surface that performs well in all weather and stays safe underfoot.
Absolutely. Much of our work is carried out in rural and agricultural settings, so we understand the challenges that come with access, ground conditions, and ongoing use by heavy vehicles and livestock. We can prepare or improve access roads, stable yards, drainage systems, and other infrastructure that keeps your property functional and resilient year-round.
The timescale depends on the size and specification of the arena, as well as the weather and access to the site. A typical arena takes around two to three weeks from start to finish, including excavation, drainage installation, base layers and surface preparation. Larger or more complex builds may take slightly longer, but we’ll always provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep you updated throughout the process.
