This can vary wildly. I had an acre cleared in Orchidland with a D9 for 3,000, this spring. It was a difficult lot, but the operator (James Kim-in the phonebook) managed to get in a windy driveway and a good building site on the high point of the lot. Other people who have seen it say "it was a good deal", but honestly, I really have no idea what it should look like, or how it should be done. I am happy and had a few loads of gravel brought in and I can drive my car in there and park hidden from the road. If I really want a perfectly flat grassy yard- I will have to haul in many loads of cinder. Where is your lot?
I am looking at lots all over Puna right now (live on Oahu). Clearing costs is one factor that might help me decide (for example pay more for a cleared lot upfront or pay less and worry about clearing later)...I appreciate all input on this, as I am starting from scratch here...
