Step 1
Walk the path you want your ATV trail to take. Keep in mind that your path needs to be a few feet wider than your ATV. Consider alternative routes around large obstacles, such as rocks and trees, rather than removing them.
-
Step 2
Mark the planned path with small spots of spray paint, if needed. Make certain to mark only dirt or grass with the spray paint so as not to cause any graffiti problems on permanent objects such as rocks or trees.
-
Step 3
Use the chain saw to remove any large stumps, branches, limbs or the like from your intended path.
-
Step 4
Use the hacksaw and the pruning shears to trim back any smaller plant material from your trail.
-
Step 5
Use the shovel to remove any rock obstructions from your path.
-
Step 6
Mark your trail, if necessary, using rocks or other objects as landmarks, or use appropriate signage.
-
Step 7
Use your ATV and trailer to haul off any plant and rock debris you have accumulated during your trail construction.
