Snowmobile Clubs, Parks & Recreation
We work with snowmobile clubs, municipalities, and private landowners across Central Wisconsin to build and maintain the trails that make winter recreation possible. This is specialized work that most excavation contractors don't take on — it's a regular part of what we do.

Trail & Recreation Services We Offer
Trail Creation
Clearing and grading new snowmobile and recreational trails through wooded or overgrown land, built to hold up to seasonal use and repeated equipment traffic.
Forestry Mulching for Trail Corridors
Clearing brush and overgrowth along existing trail corridors to keep them rideable, visible, and safe — a recurring need as trails grow in year over year.
Brush Mowing & Trail-Edge Maintenance
Ongoing trail-edge maintenance to keep brush from reclaiming cleared trails, extending the time between full mulching passes.
Park & Recreational Land Grading
Grading and site work for park improvements, trailheads, and recreational facility development on public or club-owned land.
Why Trail Maintenance Matters
A trail that isn't maintained doesn't stay a trail for long — brush and small trees reclaim cleared corridors within a few growing seasons, and a trail that's grown in becomes both harder to ride and more dangerous, with reduced sightlines and unexpected obstacles. Regular brush mowing between full mulching passes is usually more cost-effective over time than letting a trail grow in completely and needing a full re-clear.
Working With Clubs & Municipalities
Snowmobile clubs and municipalities managing trail systems often have specific easement boundaries, seasonal timing windows, and volunteer coordination to work around — we're used to fitting into that process rather than working around it, and can schedule work to align with club timelines or grant-funded trail improvement projects.
Common Questions About Trails & Recreation Services
Do you work with snowmobile clubs on a volunteer or budget basis?
We work with clubs on a range of budgets and project scopes — contact us to discuss what your club is working with and what's feasible.
Can you clear a new trail through wooded land?
Yes — trail creation through wooded or overgrown land is one of our core services in this category, using forestry mulching to clear the corridor without excessive ground disturbance.
How often does a trail need brush mowing to stay maintained?
It depends on how fast growth comes back in your specific area and soil, but many trail corridors benefit from a brush mowing pass every 1-2 years to stay ahead of regrowth between full mulching cycles.
Do you work within easement or property line boundaries for club trails?
Yes — we work from whatever boundary documentation the club or municipality provides for the trail corridor.
Can this work be scheduled around grant funding timelines?
Yes, if your club or municipality's trail project is tied to a grant or specific funding window, let us know the timeline and we'll work to accommodate it.
Do you handle trailhead parking area development too?
Yes — grading and site work for trailheads and associated parking areas falls under this service as well.
