Field notes

The service description gets into practical build considerations, including grade reversals, outslope, rolling contours, and drainage intended to shed water rather than channel it along the tread. For construction, the site describes using a mini excavator for heavier work and hand tools for the finish. Its Buzzard Butte account says Rodriguez joined the project at the start of construction in 2025.
