Parks and Trails

From athletic complexes to sensitive natural habitats, Hanford ARC has the experience and resources to construct all types of parks and trails systems. We have over twenty-five years of successful projects and satisfied customers including municipalities, counties, special districts, and state and federal agencies.

Beginning with site preparation and grading, through the installation of utilities and paving, and on to the finer points of soil preparation, planting and turf grass establishment, our background in landscaping and general engineering allows us to manage and construct our projects with the greatest care and quality.

We always look for ways to improve the projects and save money where possible by offering suggestions based on our experience, while keeping the intent and interests of the client and designer in mind.

Our crews install athletic fields and sports complexes and make renovations and upgrades to existing facilities. Our experience alsoincludes the completion of community parks with play structures, landscaping, site furnishings, lighting and fencing. Hanford has installed trails in a variety of settings. Whether the challenge is narrow and steep equipment access or stringent requirements for ADA access, our crews maintain the standards and provide this element for public use of open space and parks.

Hanford ARC has the capacity, skill, resources and experience to complete athletic field, park and trails projects successfully from the initial ground breaking through final acceptance of the landscape maintenance period. This start to finish approach gives our clients the assurance and peace of mind that all aspects of the project are being managed properly.
