Trail Cutting Services
Create hiking trails, ATV paths, horse trails, and access roads through wooded Pacific Northwest terrain. Our forestry mulching equipment carves clean, usable trails through dense brush and trees — no hand-clearing required.
Professional Trail Cutting in the Pacific Northwest
The wooded hillsides and dense forests of the Seattle Eastside make trail cutting a specialized job. Whether you want a quiet hiking trail through your back acreage, an ATV path connecting parts of your property, a horse trail through the trees, or an access road to a remote area, our forestry mulching equipment cuts clean trails efficiently and affordably.
Trail Types We Create
Hiking & Walking Trails
4-6 foot wide paths perfect for nature walks, dog walking, and connecting areas of your property on foot.
ATV & UTV Paths
6-8 foot wide trails designed for off-road vehicles, giving you year-round access to every corner of your land.
Horse Trails
Wide, obstacle-free trails with gentle grades suitable for horseback riding through wooded terrain.
Access Roads
10-12+ foot wide cleared paths for truck, tractor, or emergency vehicle access to remote areas of your property.
Switchback Capability on Hillsides
Many properties in Issaquah, Sammamish, Woodinville, and the surrounding foothills have steep terrain that makes straight-line trails impractical. Our equipment is built to navigate slopes and cut switchback trails that follow the natural contour of the land, creating safe and accessible routes up and down hillsides without excessive erosion.
Why Forestry Mulching for Trail Cutting?
- Mulch layer creates a natural, ready-to-use trail surface
- Stumps are ground flush — no tripping hazards
- No debris to haul away — everything stays on-site
- Mulch suppresses weed regrowth, reducing future maintenance
- Handles slopes and uneven terrain that hand crews struggle with
- Faster than chainsaw crews — most trails completed in a day
Whether you have 500 feet or 5 miles of trail to cut, we have the equipment and experience to get it done right. Contact Evergreen Land & Forestry today for a free on-site assessment and quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
How wide can you cut a trail?
We can cut trails ranging from narrow 4-foot hiking paths to 12-foot-wide access roads, and even wider for vehicle access. Trail width is fully customizable based on your intended use — whether it's a walking trail, ATV path, horse trail, or equipment access road.
Can you cut trails on steep terrain?
Yes. Our forestry mulching equipment is designed to handle the steep, uneven terrain common throughout the Pacific Northwest. We can cut switchback trails on hillsides and navigate slopes that would be inaccessible to conventional equipment.
How long do mulched trails last?
A properly cut trail typically stays clear for 2-4 years depending on the vegetation growth rate in your area. The mulch layer left behind suppresses regrowth and provides a natural walking surface. Light annual maintenance can extend the life of your trail indefinitely.
Is there a minimum trail length?
There is no strict minimum, but due to equipment mobilization costs, most projects are at least 200-500 feet of trail to be cost-effective. Contact us with your project details and we'll provide a straightforward quote.
