MAJOR Progress! Our 1970s Compound Backyard Clearing Begins!

What happens here

With a significant portion of the land cleared, the owner now aims to level the remaining raised areas and address the steep drop-off to the pond. He considers creating a stepped terrain to maximize usable space, given the limitations of what heavy machinery can safely traverse on the slope. The goal is to clear enough brush and small trees to improve visibility of the pond and create a functional area.

Goal: Strategize future leveling and landscaping to maximize usable and aesthetic appeal of the property.

that done? Massive difference going on back here. I'm running out of daylight and he's got to load up before dark cuz he's got a broken headlight on his truck so let him get back in there to maximize efficiency of cleanup for where Logan wants to put her garden stuff. I don't really know what I'm doing. I just run around in there and move stuff around and run things over and it looks like I know what I'm doing cuz I just don't stop moving around but I really have no idea what I'm doing. He knows what he's doing. >> We decided to throw the grapple back on to move a few more logs and tree pieces before he had to load up and hit the road. Most of the trees, the hardwood trees back here are red oaks or white oaks. And we found whenever you get one or the other near one or the other, a lot of times their roots kind of get intertwined. So, they don't just pop out of the ground like some of the other trees do or if they were standing alone away from the larger tree. Yeah. Couldn't get the roots, but at least it'll get [music] to be buried now. We have now reverted to destroy it at all costs philosophy. Just sit. >> Oh, that one's in there. >> Yeah. Yeah, the little tractor was not ever going to be able to do anything with those for sure. >> Now, I'm going to get a chainsaw and just like start chopping some of these smaller ones down. >> To get rid of this cliff of debris? >> Yeah, get rid of the cliff of debris, but like to be able to see down there. >> Yeah, I do too. I just go down the hill and just start >> An opening 10 ft wide would make me happy. >> Yeah, me too. What I've learned by chopping stuff down is we'll have to go down there and start at the bottom because if you start at the top and things start falling on other things, then it's harder to keep it going down cuz you got all kinds of crap on your way. But yeah, I really want to be able to sit at the back of the house somewhere and see this. I enjoyed that this winter whenever I could sit and work and look out and see the cows in the pasture or See the cows are hanging out in the pond behind the house. is usually under water. All this drought has pushed that out. I know you can't lick your own ass. It's real disappointing. I had the same problem. >> When I started doing stuff out here when the trees were still pretty bare, it was really cool to be out here in the morning when it's like really nice and quiet, the sun just came up and you…
