It is so nice to hear somebody defending the land - malama 'aina!
We purchased a lot in Orchidland Estates this year - we were fortunate to find some land that had been previously farmed, so it was pretty clear - no trees - except for some tall shrubs. We very much wanted to keep what topsoil we had, so instead of ripping and grading, we just 'dozed it over and flattened it out - such a deal - 3 acres for under $1K! We'll flatten it out next year again just before we build. We'll rip a driveway, but that's pretty much it. I think it's very important to let Tutu Nature do her thing - she does it best.
