From rebuilding eroded paths to reshaping berms and improving drainage, we fuse rideability with sustainable trailcraft. Whether it's a rugged descent, family-friendly loop, or pro-level flow trail, we optimize every line for safety, fun, and longevity. With rider-focused design and eco-smart methods, TrailMender keeps your trails alive and shreddable.
About Us
At TrailMender, we believe a great trail is part art, part engineering, and all about the ride. Founded by riders and built for riders, we provide trail restoration, maintenance, and design services that bring out the best in every terrain. Our mission is to keep trail systems flowing, safe, and sustainable for communities, parks, and private owners.
We assess each trail's natural topography, usage patterns, and environmental challenges before sculpting solutions. From switchback stabilization to feature upgrades and erosion control, we repair with long-term durability and fun factor in mind.
Using hand tools, machinery, and experience-driven design, we breathe life back into washed-out trails, unsafe lines, and outdated layouts. Whether you're a municipality, MTB club, or landowner, we tailor each project to the needs of your riders and environment. With TrailMender, every trail tells a better story.
Our Advantages
Rider-Focused Trail Engineering
Our team rides what we build. Every project starts with a full trail analysis—assessing rider flow, risk points, and potential for line improvement. We rebuild features like berms, jumps, rollers, and tech sections to maximize rider enjoyment and trail challenge without compromising safety or nature.
Sustainable Drainage & Terrain Repair
We implement advanced erosion control using native rock armoring, grade reversals, drainage channels, and vegetative stabilization. Trails are shaped to resist weather damage and reduce maintenance. Our methods restore both rideability and ecological health to overused paths.
Custom Flow Trail Design
Looking to add or redesign a trail? We offer full flow trail design services, from route scouting and soil testing to machine shaping and feature crafting. Trails are built for modern MTB dynamics—balance, rhythm, and adaptability—while staying within land and budget constraints.
Quick-Response Maintenance Teams
Our mobile trail teams can be deployed quickly for post-storm repairs, race prep, or seasonal refreshes. Services include raking, tamping, regrading, and emergency reroutes. We provide before-and-after condition reports and offer subscription plans for year-round trail care.
Community & Park Collaboration
We work closely with local riders, city parks, and conservation bodies to align trail improvements with community goals. We host volunteer trail days, install educational signage, and promote rider stewardship. Our trails serve both riders and the regions they flow through.
Documentation, Mapping & Reporting
We provide drone mapping, GPS trail layout, and interactive maintenance records for every project. Land managers and clubs receive full digital reports including soil conditions, wear patterns, and maintenance logs—helping you plan smarter and manage better.
