Planning a new trail involves more than picking a route and clearing brush. Bike Borderlands lays out the key factors to consider — environmental, social, and economic.
A few things that matter most for Central Texas property owners:
- Environmental impact — How does the trail affect drainage patterns, root zones, and wildlife corridors on your property?
- User groups — Who’s going to use this trail? Hikers and mountain bikers have very different needs from equestrians and ATVs.
- Maintenance plan — Every trail needs ongoing care. Building maintenance access into the original design saves money long-term.
- Permits and regulations — County jurisdiction, floodplain rules, and endangered species considerations vary by location in the Hill Country.
We help property owners work through all of this during the consultation phase. Call us at 512-829-1199.
