New trail is priced by linear foot of corridor: cut width, surface, and water. Management is a cheaper pass — blowdown, ruts, and vegetation that closed last summer’s lane. No mess left behind if we can help it — mulch in place, stone where the two-track needs it.

More than a mowed line
Laying the line to the topography, with turnouts and simple water bars where a draw crosses it, is what keeps a trail from becoming a ditch after one wet season. A straight line cut for convenience does the opposite: water finds it, follows it, and carves it out. We also scope width on purpose — hunter-quiet and narrow reads different than a UTV-width service road, and the machine time is priced accordingly.
When a straight line is the wrong call
Steep grades or wet bottoms sometimes mean the trail has to switchback, cross on stone, or simply not go where you first pictured it. We’ll say that on the walk-through, before we cut it, instead of after it washes out.

Pricing
New corridor is usually priced by linear foot. A “management” pass on an existing trail is smaller — blowdown, ruts, and vegetation that closed last summer’s lane.
