The few books I have found give very limited info, here in Northeast Ohio we have alot of clay in the soil. I will be talking to some excavators in the next few weeks and would like to be able to have an idea of what is needed. I want to end up with an arena that will be able to be used year round - it will not be covered. So I imagine drainage will be of primary concern as well as base material. Most arenas around here use sand as the top layer, some use a fine crushed limestone, one uses fibar, one uses mulch. Curious as to long term maintenance needs and what problems might arise down the road with different surfaces. Only going to get one shot at putting this in and really don't want to end up with a mess. Thanks.
