Walking Trail Maintenance

What This Service Involves

We maintain trail surfaces, clear encroaching vegetation, and manage drainage to keep pathways passable through Western Washington's wet seasons. Tread repairs, edge grading, and debris removal address erosion, roots, and trip hazards before they cause incidents. Signage, culverts, and drainage features are inspected so trails stay accessible and compliant with agency standards. All work is documented to support reporting and grant obligations tied to trail infrastructure.
