Our Method

Our Method

We don't guess. We measure, analyze, and design based on your specific terrain.

01

Site Discovery

We walk the land to understand the control points, features, and constraints.

02

Drone Analysis

When needed, aerial mapping creates a precise terrain model for accurate routing and grading.

03

Conceptual Design

We deliver conceptual trail plans and can also flag the corridor on the ground for review.

04

Construction Support

We can help support construction crews during the build phase with specialized GIS and aerial mapping.

Bad trails cost more than just money.

Poorly designed trails lead to severe erosion, higher maintenance costs, and liability issues for land owners.

Whether you are a land trust managing thousands of acres or a town planner looking to connect communities, you need a plan that respects the terrain.

  • Unsustainable erosion requiring constant repairs
  • Confusing routing that causes users to get lost
  • Missed opportunities to highlight scenic features
