We use either rocks to line the trails or Cedar poles cut during the process. The trail is lined with chipped up Cedar mulch. The mulch is very good for the soil as it balances the PH and allows grass and other vegetation to take hold and flourish.
How to make a Trail from scratch
| We like to make trails through our
property to be able to enjoy more of it. They allow you to access very
beautiful features that would otherwise not be seen and enjoyed. We
try to disturb the surrounding area as little as possible. The trails
themselves will curve and meander around so you won't see too far ahead and
spoil the surprises waiting around each turn. We use either rocks to line the trails or Cedar poles cut during the process. The trail is lined with chipped up Cedar mulch. The mulch is very good for the soil as it balances the PH and allows grass and other vegetation to take hold and flourish. |

This is another trail that ends at a water fall in a gully that we are improving. We will typically pick up the dead wood and either burn it or chip it for mulch. |

Planning is a must for the trails. You want them to go by the neat features of the land. We always try to take in the large Oak trees when we can. |

Then the work begins. |

We will rough out the trail then come back and line it with rocks and mulch it. |
|
|
We may place park benches along the way as 'rest stops'. |
