Simple Sophistication

With more than two decades of hands-on experience, Deven Schneider has earned a reputation as a true “dirt artist,” known for precision, craftsmanship, and problem-solving in the field. His attention to detail shows in every project he shapes — from engineered house and ADU pads to intricate pump tracks and custom backyard grading. He specializes in erosion control and proper drainage design, delivering finished work that performs well and stands the test of time.

Schneider Grading has been locally owned and family operated since 2006. Deven and his wife, Erica, run the company together and are raising four boys who share his enthusiasm for heavy equipment and the outdoors. As a family, they enjoy camping, riding dirt bikes, and exploring the mountains and trail systems throughout East San Diego County — the same communities they are proud to serve.

The art of shape and the management of lines

So much in building is about testing . I’ve loved my old p3 so much that I’ve never really rode another bike I’ve felt more comfortable on. Until I rode the new p3’s . They are so good and stable . I was blown away . Grateful to @specialized.carlsbad and @dragonaftermarket . As an artist I appreciate mastery of the crafts and @ride5dev pedals and cranks are a work of art . Truly blessed to have the best platform and components to test these parks as we build . 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻 here’s to many more

Sometimes I’m even at a loss for words. This journey has been 110% the Lord’s direction. Almost 20 years ago on a mountain top high above San Diego I said to Him “I’m done , here’s my life take it . If Your real . Show me the way .” I can tell you with absolute certainty He is . How he led , shaped guided and brought 4 men , with incredible and unique talents together , is another testament to that . The art of shape ….. Johnny O’Brien , @bubba_warren @shreddie_reynolds . 🎥 @liamdonohuemedia with the incredible evening glow . This young man is crazy talented . #not….A.I.

Opening day was incredible, it’s always such a blessing to watch the stoke after so many months of hard work . In 2014 I did a 27 bike park road trip up the west coast ending at Whistler Canada . What I gained most from this trip was this ; lines that were built to where once you drop in …. There is no guess work . You don’t have to check up or put in an extra pedal throughout the line . In the public bike park space , this greatly reduces chances for serious injury . Out of 27 parks . There were only 3 that truly achieved this . To see this opening day is a testament to the work Johnny O’Brien, @bubba_warren and @shreddie_reynolds and I put in to dreaming and testing these lines day in and day out . I can’t say enough to how talented each one of them is and to @sanmarcoscity for giving us the ability to express those talents in a unique true design build format; which is the reason this park is so special . @carlsbadcagov I hope your watching . With your terrain ; You have a very unique opportunity at the Veterans Memorial Park to make a truly great world class bike park . It needs to be a builder design and build , not a plan set low bid . This team would love to talk with you about options . 🎥 @zephyr_mtb
