How PWC can help build municipal nature trails

We work closely with municipalities, ski resorts, state parks, and residential clients and more to build hiking trails, bike trails, bike parks, and nature trails. PWC experts can help you in any phase of your trail project, from planning and design to construction/development and maintenance.

Hiking is one of the most popular and oldest pastimes across the globe. It’s a great chance to get to know your neighborhood, to feel the shape and substance of your land under your feet, and experience the real beauty of every season. Essentially, it strengthens the bodies, and research has also shown that it strengthens your mind.

The chance to work from the beginning is a great advantage for our team. Whether you’re searching or have a worksite already, a consultation and feasibility studies are where to begin. Furthermore, we can help by taking the dream idea that you have and build a viable solution that works for your trail site, target user group, and budget. Our services in this regard include inventory and evaluation of the existing infrastructure and trail. Visiting the location where you want the trail established is also an essential step for the team if the municipal goals and vision are achievable on the property.

construction for Building Municipal Nature Trails

PWC offers an extensive range of top-quality construction services to handle any of your trail building construction needs. We focus on the usage of mini-excavators to build sustainable trail solutions with the least impact on the environment surrounding the trail. PWC experts always strive to improve the quality of design and construction in the trail creation industry. We continuously work on refining newer techniques for sustainable trail building based on our many years’ experience of building trails in diverse topography and soils. If the natural terrain fails to offer the dynamic experience that the municipality wants, we appreciate the chance to incorporate and work with a wide range of rock, water, park-like features. Here at PWC, we work securely and efficiently, regardless of whether we are in the country building trails, the peaks of the ski resorts, or working in a bustling city, you can always expect the best.

multi-use trails

Wondering what exactly makes a trail a multi-use trail? Worry no more! Multi-use trails are perfectly designed and built in such a way that they can be used by different groups simultaneously. We strongly believe that with a perfect design and ideal construction, equestrian, bikers, and hikers trail, users can easily enjoy a positive experience in the same trail. The use of a low percentage gradient, careful signage, slightly wider footprint, and long sightlines are some of the aspects we consider in building the multi-use trails. Furthermore, parking areas, information on the trailheads, and educational signage can be a great help to the trail users by helping them understand that they can share and enjoy a trail experience.

bike trails

PWC is passionate and enthusiastic about designing bike trail and have been designing and building them to provide a top-notch experience for the rider while maintaining a high level of safety and sustainability. Over the years, PWC has built bike trails ranging from sleek steep race to mountainous courses and smooth beginner trails. We can incorporate unique bike centered paths into an existing park or create new trail systems from the ground up, including bike-only trails, as well as hiking-only trails or multi-use trails. Our primary goal is to offer a positive trail experience for riders of different riding styles and skill levels. Building municipal nature trails specifically for beginners and kids helps in making the sport of hiking more enjoyable. A successful bike park or trail system should have bike trails that are accessible to both experienced bikers and beginners.

hiking trails

Trails that have been purpose-built for hiking are usually harder to achieve unless the topography of the locations lends itself to it. You may also find that the hiking trails are often re-surfaced or widened to allow a large number of pedestrians in cities and other urban environments to make use of them. One of the most important things that you should know is that there are many sustainable solutions for almost all environments that the hiking trail can be incorporated into. With the hiking-only trail, PWC experts incorporate timber or stone steps and, at times, footbridges that can allow access to areas that were previously not accessible.
