Day 2: What does it cost to clear land? Removing stumps, smooth land for planting grass or pasture
What happens here
The core work involves using the excavator to systematically dig out and remove extremely large rocks and numerous tree stumps that are deeply embedded in the soil. Once a stump is extracted, the excavator performs a "tossing" motion to shake off excess dirt, ensuring that valuable topsoil remains on site. These cleared materials (rocks and stumps) are then either moved to designated disposal areas or strategically placed for future landscaping purposes, such as building up embankments or filling existing low areas.
Goal: Efficiently remove deeply embedded rocks and stumps while minimizing soil displacement.
