Client: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission

Scope: We teamed up with the Wildlife for Everyone Habitat and the state of Pennsylvania to build just under two miles of multi-use singletrack around Colyer Lake near State College on a 77-acre parcel of land managed by the Fish and Boat Commission for public fishing and boating. Leftover money from a dam repair project was funneled into building a brand new natural surface trail around the lake that is now open to the public and enjoyed by hikers, trailrunners, and mountain bikers.

Client: Oldham County Public Library

Scope: We were contacted by the library to come up with a plan to rebuild a wooden bridge on their hiking trail that was rotting due to drainage issues which caused one side of the handrails to detach and fall from the base. To ensure the bridge would match the other bridge on the trail, we reused the original metal spindles and rebuilt the bridge to the same specifications. We rerouted sections of the existing trail near the bridge and redefined the drainage for better sustainability of the trail and the bridge for years of use by the many families who frequent this valuable community establishment.

Client: Private Property Landowner

Scope: The family who owned this property wanted a safe pathway from their house to a river which was down a steep hillside with deep drainages. They wanted the path wide enough to accommodate their tractor and mower to manage the vegetation and downed trees near the riverbank. Switchbacks were created to lessen the steep grade and culverts were installed to manage the drainages and runoff from the top of the hill and nearby road. The family and their friends are now able to enjoy hikes on the trail and picnics by the river.

Client: Maryland Department of Natural Resources & Mid Atlantic Off-road Enthusiasts

Scope: In what was a relatively underdeveloped area of the Patuxent River State Park, about 35 miles north of Washington, D.C., we built almost 2.5 miles of natural surface, multi use trail. This trail meanders along the banks of the Patuxent River and features steep slopes, river views and exposed rock formations. We created fun, flowy lines with a few rocky sections where we added challenging alternative features for experienced mountain bikers while still allowing the trail to be passable by horses and enjoyed by beginner mountain bikers and hikers. To increase sustainability in a section below a large farm field, we significantly built up the trail tread, added culverts and created drainage areas to absorb the runoff.

Client: City of Lebanon

Scope: We transformed a level one-mile trail that previously stayed muddy for eight months of every year into a beautiful experience through rehabilitated prairie land. After we completed construction of the elevated trail tread with numerous bridges, a prairie grass contractor then completed the rehabilitation process - our combined efforts produced a trail that gets rave reviews. Our trail tread is also robust enough to allow zero turn mowers the ability to drive the length of the trail to keep the prairie grass from overgrowing the trail and brushing users’ legs.
