FAQ
Questions we get first
How much does it cost to build a mountain bike trail?
Most Hill Country singletrack runs $9 to $14 per linear foot. Heavy rock, steep slopes, or hauled-in material push it higher. The site walk gets you a fixed number.
Does THCMTB fix existing trails?
Yes. Trail crew days start at $1,100 per day for reroutes, rock armoring, berm rebuilds, drainage, and storm repair on existing trails and bike parks.
What happens at the $250 site walk?
We spend about 90 minutes on your land checking soil, rock, drainage, slope, and machine access, and flag a rough route. Within 7 days you get a route map, feature list, and fixed quote. The $250 is credited toward any build over $5,000.
Who builds what THCMTB designs?
THCMTB designs the route and features. TX Trailcraft, our build partner, does the construction.
Do I need a permit to build a bike trail or pump track on my property?
Dirt trail work on private land in unincorporated Hill Country areas often needs no building permit, but HOA rules, city limits, floodplains, and conservation easements can change that. We flag these during the site walk. Confirm with your county or HOA before the build.
