If you own land, then you’ve probably had to deal with annoying rocks before.
We’ve all been there. First, small rocks clutter your garden. Meanwhile, large ones can even threaten your lawn mower. Truly, rocks are a real pain! If you need help removing rocks from your field or yard, follow these simple steps to make the job easier and faster.
Step 1: Prepare Your Land
To start, level your land and loosen the soil. Then, drag a box blade through your field. This way, many rocks will rise to the surface, preparing you for the next step. Pro tip: do this when the soil is slightly moist—too dry and the rocks might not come up, too wet and the soil could clump.
Step 2: Gather the Rocks
Next, use a landscape rake to gather the rocks into a pile. However, avoid using this method for large, heavy rocks—you could damage your equipment. Once the rocks are piled up, you’re ready for the next step. Remember, keeping a consistent pace and working in sections will make removing rocks more manageable.
Step 3: Move and Dispose
After that, decide where you want to relocate the rocks. Then, rake them into your front-end loader and carry them to the drop-off spot. Just like that, the rocks are gone! Tip: create a designated rock pile or use them for landscaping purposes, such as garden borders or drainage areas.
BONUS TIP: Tackle Large Rocks
For those huge rocks that are too heavy to lift by hand, let your tractor do the work with a backhoe. This way, your land is completely rock-free and ready for your next project! Safety first: always wear protective gear and make sure your tractor is stable when lifting heavy objects.
