Water Management FAQs
Why does my arena keep getting wet/soft?
Most arenas fail because runoff reaches the base and saturates it. The fix is typically controlling incoming water with grading/swales and then addressing any low spots so water can’t sit.
Do I need a culvert or can I just add stone?
Stone alone often fails if water is concentrated. A properly sized culvert and protected inlet/outlet usually prevents repeated washouts.
Can you fix one trouble spot without redoing the whole farm?
Yes. Many projects are targeted: one crossing, one washout, one swale line — as long as the water path is handled correctly.
