Regarding mellas question rip or no? Depends on what type of lava you have. If it's hard Pahoehoe and fairly level, you can get by with no ripping, I've done it. but if it's Aa, ripping & compacting are a must, as the loose rocks are always shifting. As to driveways, adias, I suppose you could handclear, but unless your land is extremely level and smooth, you probably would want it dozed. remember too, that the drive needs to be wide enough for heavy trucks.
