A Good Trail System Makes Every Acre More Useful

Whether you use your property for recreation, work, or relaxation, one of the best upgrades you can make is a trail system that connects everything. From ATV trails to walking paths, utility routes to hunting stand access, multi-use trails open up your land—and make it easier and safer to navigate.

At Southern Land Specialist, we help landowners design and build custom trail systems that match the terrain, the use case, and your long-term plans.

Our Trail Building Services Include:

1. Trail Layout & Route Planning

We help you:

• Design routes that follow natural contours
• Avoid sensitive areas or wet zones
• Plan loops, straightaways, or split trails depending on your use

📌 Whether you want fast ATV access or a scenic walking loop, we’ll design your trails with intention.

2. Clearing for Multi-Use Trails

We cut through:

• Thick brush, saplings, and undergrowth
• Fallen trees and hanging limbs
• Overgrown areas along fence lines or wooded zones

📌 We clear wide enough for whatever you need—walkers, ATVs, UTVs, tractors, or work crews.

3. Trail Grading & Drainage Control

To prevent ruts, washouts, or erosion, we:

• Grade trails to create a slight slope or crown
• Install water bars or side ditches where needed
• Compact the surface for long-term use

📌 A well-graded trail holds up better season after season.

4. Access Points, Loops & Connections

We make sure your trails link everything together:

• Access to barns, stands, campsites, and food plots
• Entry from the driveway or gate
• Trail spurs to water, scenic overlooks, or hunting zones

📌 We help make your entire property more connected and usable.

Popular Trail Uses Include:

• ATV and UTV access
• Foot and hiking paths
• Emergency or utility access roads
• Hunting stand and blind access
• Livestock checking trails
• Property line and fence patrol routes

When’s the Best Time to Build Trails?

• Late fall to early spring: Best visibility and fewer leaves
• Dry summer months: Ideal for grading and compaction
• Any time you’re prepping land for other improvements

📌 We build year-round and can help you choose the right window based on your goals.
