Welcome - a few words .
Machete - Garden exchange in Hilo,check each one for balance and how it feels to your arms.
Finding your lot - 1st survey so you absolutely know that you are on correct lot and not the one next to your lot.
I may be mistaken,but think county has some rules on setbacks.
I think 30 feet on front and back and 20feet on the sides as far as clearing so to leave a green scape in case a neighbor starts right next to you.
Clearing - In the farmlots between Nanawale and lava tree state park is a cousin and his company is named Johns landclearing.
He is listed in phone book.
Talk story with John and he may have the perfect answer or answers for you and or know some one who does.
Always work with the operator and definitely clear out the non endemic weeds,as you have mentioned.
Nothing larger than a D4 would be great.
If you do not have to rip,all the better,try get the roots all pushed to the side and save the soil.
If you put the roots or dead tree's in the soil,they will rot and settle,some times,not always,the mold n rot especially from endemic tree's will always be a problem should you plant fruit tree's or other food bearing fauna,they will grow,may always be unhealthy and never bear fruit.
Many endemics are no more than 4 inches high ,so know your fauna.
Hope this is helpful.
