Aloha,
The bulldozer rips the lava, often slabs of pahoehoe in puna, and rolls it all flat and level filling in the dips with the material "ripped". Some operators have access to a big "roller" in addition to their dozer I am unsure of the proper name but it flattens and compacts the rock/gravel/cinder into a nice compact level surface.
Excavation Tech and Paul was a very nice guy couldn't have asked for a better all around experience from start to finish.
He also had a "roller" to compact down the surface.
I believe some threads on here recently discussed buying lots with improvements already on them...i.e. cesspool/septic dug, SS&P paid, driveway/housepad cleared, etc.
I suggest you do some reading and be creative with the search feature in the upper right hand corner you'll get an internet gold mine of information on local related questions/issues.
