Hey JJonHawaii, Did you find someone good to work with for your Fern Forest lot? I have one of the 3 acre square lots in Fern Forest and I'm looking for the same thing. I just talked to someone advertising land clearing on Craigslist and he highly recommended I bring in a D9 and rip at least an 80'X80' house pad and driveway so that the rock ripped up can be used to level everything. He said it would end up costing a lot more to bring in an excavator because you will have to fill all the depression areas with "imported" rock and it won't drain right. He said a 300' driveway would cost $,4500 to $5,000 and another $3,000 for the house pad. I was hoping to do it cheaper because I just want a small driveway and small area cleared for a tiny house (20' X 20' house).
