Scenic path and trail design requires a special sensitivity to purpose, theme, environment and site conditions.  Our landscape architects and engineers have successfully exhibited this sensitivity on an extensive number of projects.  Whether a feature's purpose is to provide a means to get from one point to another, or simply to provide people an outdoor experience, we  combine our clients' needs with our creativity and analysis of site conditions to develop functional, pleasing results.

This project involved the repair of a severely eroded area on High Cliff Park Trail in Galesville, Wisconsin.  We prepared the survey of existing conditions, provided design solutions and performed construction inspection.

Gabion baskets, boulder retaining walls and rock excavation were used along with trail edge stabilization.  The project included new surface aggregate and native plantings to obtain a solution with minimal environmental disturbance. 

This pathway was designed in connection with the Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine.  It required "surgical" placement of the trail in a densely forested hillside, with minimum disturbance to trees and other vegetation.  Extreme slopes required extensive use of gabions.  Erosion control measures were key to the project to ensure the integrity of the trail and the surrounding terrain.
