Is this "hole pounding" thing something that anyone has done in lieu of bulldozing? We want to plant trees but would rather not bulldoze.
The plan I have in my head, which may be stupid, is to get some holes put in where I want trees, plant them, and then bring in some cinder to make walking easy.

What Chris just did was dig the holes for the fence posts. They would be about the same size for planting I would assume.

Yes I want to pound holes in the lava to plant. I need drainage and space for soil.18/24" X 24" with drainage.

Thanks to Danial Diamond I found Chip and he is pounding.

Does this approach (pounding holes for plants) lead to healthy plants? I wonder about drainage and the ability of the plants to put down a good root system.
Larry, what is the cost per hole?
Others, does the idea of creating plant wholes and using cinder to create a "walkable lot" make sense as an alternative to expensive bulldozing?

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Instead of bulldozing the lot, I was thinking about bringing in cinder to level the areas I wanted level. Anyone do this before? Is it less costly?

I wanted to kept the lava, I think the bare lava looks real nice. Chip is $100 per hour, but he can do a lot in a hour. I had some lava what was real hard and some soft. He must have pulled 20 large roots and pounded 15 holes, drilled me a "mail box" hole, moved some soil in 3 1/2 hours. The cost was a lot less than bulldozing the lot.
