| Whatever You Want, We Can Do
Whether it’s in your town or a day’s walk into the mountains, we can design and/or build a high quality, safe, and maintainable trail system for the best price-value possible:

For design and layout, we work with:
• City planners, greenbelt and park designers
• Private landowners
• Non profit corporations and landowners
• Federal, state and local trail managers
• Historic preservationists
• Travel and tourism professionals
• Transportation planners and engineers
• Land trust and conservancy administrators
• Landscape architects and engineering consultants
• Park and recreation specialists
• Health professionals

Work with landowners and volunteer organizations:
• Consultation
• Directing volunteer crews
• Construction in non-volunteer situations

We have:
• Expertise and experience
• Low impact specialized equipment
• Environmentally safe materials
• Specialized bridge construction
• Specialized paving equipment
• Licensed blasting experience

Trails enhance the activities available to residents and tourists alike. Both bring income to the area. Having a sustainable trail system that invites people to experience the natural beauty of the area enables people to exercise, explore, play, learn about nature, geology or geography, or just be alone. Everyone—young children, the elderly, joggers, and the handicapped are enjoying the advantages of well-planned, sustainable trail systems.

Please feel free to call me for information on how to put a project together. If you have any questions regarding equipment, specifications for any type of trail, structures, or procedures, call me. I have a large library of trail-specific topics.
