It's interesting to see that the dozer operators charge more to basically do less work. Perhaps it takes more finesse to artfully carve out just a driveway and housepad/garden, but why would it necessarily cost more than ripping a whole lot? It seems like the overall fuel cost would be less, and so would the time required. Sounds like the operators have a racket of some sort going. Somebody could make a lot of money with an honest business that said, "Lots cleared with environmental sensitivity for no additional cost (or less.)"
