How to clear a House Site with SVL75-3 Make Terraces across hill to reduce erosion until building
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 ноя 2024
- We don't know when building will begin but I want to be as ready as possible. I don't want a lot of erosion so I am putting terraced paths that will be sloped up the hill to stop erosion. I will clear 95% of the trees so I can finish clearing the lot in one day, once we are ready to start building. We are building a house in the woods. We just want a safe buffer around the house

I think terracing is a reasonable strategy to prep for final grading. I would start with a root rake to remove all the small brush and roots into a burn pile, then you'll have mostly clean dirt to grade the terraces. Will you build the house on the terraces with a step foundation, or make a large level pad? If the latter, I'm pretty sure you'll have a lot of fill on the downhill side of the pad. In that case, it takes time for fill to truly settle, even with mechanical compaction. I'd grade and compact the level pad ASAP so it'll settle during the rainy winter season. Of course if you leave terraces, compaction is not a big issue.
I do have a heavy duty grapple that I am pretty sure I can rake up the roots. We haven’t made final decisions on the house or foundation. We are considering flat slab for a barndominium or a terraced ICF foundation for a more typical foundation. Still a lot of decisions to make but that’s my wife’s department. I’m just doing preparations that would be needed for any type of home. Maybe even one with a walk out basement
If it’s in the budget, I have had a lot of success with a stump bucket busting out palms and pines over 12inches and diameter
I'm going to a local auction next week that sometimes has some decent deals. I'd consider getting one but not for the ~41,800 new Blue Diamond prices. I'll be fine if I can fine a 20 year old one in good shape as I won't be doing it commercially every week.
You should consider a dozer blade way faster than just a bucket. Something to consider.
I have considered it, and if I can focus on one task for a day I would consider it more seriously. I just seem to get distracted so if I had the dozer blade on I am sure in would want to scoop up some material. Maybe once we are closer to maintaining the property. Do you have one?
If yes what brand and how many hours one it?
Do you switch attachments frequently in one day?
Thanks for watching and commenting
I don’t have a dozer blade I don’t have much of a need for one. I use a grapple and rotary cutter along with forks, bucket on our farm.
Rotary cutter is on my “shopping list” and the Auction nearby has one but I don’t know the brand yet.
Thanks for commenting. Have a great week
