How do you maintain walking / biking trails in the woods? Recently purchased a home with more than 4 acres of property. The majority of that is fairly dense woods.
As someone who builds/maintains/manages trails for a living, I think it would be important to consider how you expect to be using these trails and what kind of terrains they will be on. You don't have to bring out a bunch of specialists (unless you want to) but you will get a better return on investment if you think about what it is you want to do with your network of new trails 🙂 motorbike? Walk? Horse? You can fit a lot of trail I to four acres if you want to, or just a single loop.
Interesting perspective, I was thinking I’d just eyeball what looks to be about 6-8 feet wide and start hacking away. This is definitely more nuanced than I thought.
I mean I’d like to be able to drive a Gator or something back there to make landscaping easier. I envision having a clearing with a little gazebo and small fire pit for the family. A man can dream, right?
