Trail Planning & Design

A: Trails are more than paths in the woods.  TCG Trail Specialists know how to maximize enjoyment while minimizing disturbance and keeping long term maintenance a practical task. 

Our understanding of the flora and fauna of an area, in combination with our expertise in soils and landscapes gives us the tools to plan and design trails that expose the “environmental  and cultural capital” of your community to its residents in a thoughtful and ecologically prudent manner.  The result is a trail system that is enjoyable, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to maintain.

A: Many communities have extensive trails that residents use for a relaxing walk. TCG Trail Specialists can evaluate your trail inventory and discuss options to upgrade your current trails to include informational/educational stops, plant and animal identification, exercise stations, natural viewing areas, local history, camping and picnic sites, and even multi-media interactions with podcasts. 

We can also provide guidance to address issues of long term maintenance costs and trail network expansion.

A: Our staff has been working with developers for years on many aspects of development and we understand the budget and timeframes of a land development project. 

Our staff can bring a project to fruition quickly or design it so that it can be implanted in phases as more of the development is brought online.  Our custom approach to each and every site allows us to work within your budget and development timeline.

A: TCG’s professional staff can work with existing site construction personnel or we can bring in our own team to get the job done right and within budget. 

We’ll work hand in hand with your staff to make sure what’s on paper matches what’s on the ground.
