Trailscape: Crafting Custom Trails for Adventure, Connection & Fire Protection

Trailscape, led by Randy Martin and his expert team, is California's premier trail design and build firm. Specializing in transforming rugged, impassable land into accessible pathways, Trailscape creates outdoor environments that enhance both physical and spiritual well-being. With a deep understanding of terrain and a passion for the outdoors, they approach design, construction, and usability with expertise and care.

"We carve out sustainable trails from previously inaccessible land that not only encourage exploration but also serve as vital fire protection measures," Martin explains.

Beyond their practical benefits, these trails offer a space for meaningful connections. "Deep conversations, a stronger bond with the land, cherished time with loved ones, and the joy of discovery—these are the priceless moments our trails facilitate," Martin says. Building a lasting legacy for future generations is at the heart of Trailscape’s mission, ensuring that families can enjoy and appreciate their land for years to come.

Trails as Effective Firebreaks

More than just scenic pathways, Trailscape’s trails play a critical role in fire prevention and protection. "A well-placed, five-foot-wide trail with cleared brush on either side serves as a powerful fire break that can help stop flames from advancing onto a property," Martin shares. "In fact, during Napa’s 2020 Glass Fire, eight homes were saved because of strategic trail construction."

Firefighters also benefit from these trails, which provide crucial access points when battling blazes. "The easier it is for firefighters to reach a property, the higher the chances of saving it," Martin explains. "Imagine hauling 50 pounds of gear up a steep, brush-covered slope in 100-degree heat versus navigating a well-designed trail that doubles as a fire break. The choice is clear."

A Lasting Impact

For Trailscape, each project is about more than just creating a path—it’s about enhancing lives, protecting homes, and preserving nature. Their work is centered on three key pillars:

• Connecting people to their land and nature.

• Protecting families, homes, and properties from fire.

• Providing a legacy for current and future generations to enjoy.

By blending artistry with functionality, Trailscape continues to redefine what it means to experience and safeguard the land. Whether for recreation, relaxation, or resilience, a custom trail is an investment in both adventure and security.
