A Trail Builder Who is a Trail User
Speedgoat isn’t just a contractor; it’s a user-owned operation. Every project is shaped by years of riding, running, hiking, and giving back to the trail community. That direct perspective drives better outcomes: trails that flow naturally, drain properly, and inspire everyone—from high-speed riders to families out for a walk—to come back again and again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about your trail project? We’ve answered a couple common ones below.
What types of trails do you build?
Speedgoat designs and builds a diverse range of trails for riders, runners, and hikers. Expertise includes everything from hand-built natural singletrack and backcountry wilderness trails to multi-use paths for families and machine-built flow trails with progressive, bike-optimized features.
How do I start a trail project with Speedgoat Trail Co?
The first step is reaching out via our contact form or email. We’ll schedule a discovery conversation to learn about your vision, site, timeline, and budget. From there we can propose a scope of services — from a simple consultation to full design-build delivery.
Do you work on small private trails, or only large public projects?
Both. Whether you want a half-mile multi-use loop in your backyard or a multi-mile community trail system, Speedgoat delivers the same level of precision and care to every project, regardless of size.
What does a typical project timeline look like?
Timelines vary depending on project scale, terrain complexity, and seasonal access. A small private trail addition can often be completed in just a few weeks, while larger trail networks may be planned and executed across multiple phases. A realistic, detailed schedule is always provided right upfront during the proposal phase.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance contracts?
Absolutely. Annual maintenance agreements are available for trail networks of all sizes. Routine, scheduled upkeep protects your initial investment, keeps trails safe for users, and significantly extends the life of the trail system before major erosion can set in.
What is "low-impact machinery" and why does it matter?
It means using compact, trail-building equipment designed to fit into tight corridors without destroying the surrounding forest. This approach allows for efficient machine-built trails while protecting tree roots, minimizing soil disturbance, and preserving the natural beauty of the landscape.
Can you help our volunteer group learn how to maintain our trails?
Absolutely! Through Trail Education, I offer custom built workshops and field training tailored to your group’s needs. We cover everything from tools and technical terminology to hands-on maintenance practices that ensure long-term trail sustainability.
