It's hard to know where to plant until you can see the ground. If you could even weed wack and find out where the high and low places are it would be easier to determine where to plant. Uluhe is easy to kill, just by touching or stomping it down. (Wear good shoes. Those branches can go right through slippers and skewer your foot)
Some people prefer to doze and flatten everything. That way you can plant trees on the border (or wherever you want privacy) and create your own planting design. I often think it's ugly at first, but am in awe of the way people have made their own Paradise from dozed land.
Others like to hand clear and find the pukas and plant there where it's easier to fill with soil, and "slash. ( Oregon term for stuff you already cut down) rather than trying to dig (or jackhammer) holes in rock.
We only dozed in driveway and house pad and hand cleared the rest of the acre.
I think it's a great idea to get something planted now so the trees are grown and bearing when you're ready to move here.
If you do doze, just find somebody dependable to weedwack and you'll have grass in 5 years.
Good luck on your project!
