I recently cleared about 1/2 acre of my property. This soil is very rocky, a ton of small to medium stones, but also quite a few boulders. I have gotten it to the point that all the trees are down and stumps removed. All exposed boulders dug up and moved. I now have a lot of uneven, bumpy ground, with many stones peaking through. Large or small, I have no idea. What is the best way to attack this from this point?
Should I start at one corner and dig up every square foot with the BH, then use a landscapers rake to grade it. Sure it would work, but I can't imagine how long it would take?
Or can I just use a box blade, and try grading it without digging it up? But what happens when it catches a hidden boulder? Does that damage the BB or are they built strong enough to just stop the tractor, without causing damage?
And last, do I just rent a dozer and be done with it. Hate to do that, becuse of the obvious cost, and also because of the damage it will do to my property, just getting it to the newly cleared 1/2 acre.
Please Help!!!!
