How wide of a driveway did you put down? How wide of a clearing? I'm about to start marking out where I plan to put in our driveway and I'm thinking of a 12-14ft wide driveway and would guess I'd need to clear 5 feet on each side to have room for a drainage ditch and clearance of trees on each side. Our driveway will be roughly 3/4 of a mile.
Ours is about 10-12 ft but it actually depends on your town code. We originally envisioned a narrow driveway to creat a kind of tree Forrest tunnel but we found out it has to be over 10ft for fire trucks to get in etc. also important to consider heavy equipment that you might be transporting in and out for your build. 3/4 mile is a long driveway!

It’ll have to be wide enough for a semi truck @@OurFirstCabin
