stone said:In my experience... there is always compaction with new construction.
The soil that the sod people bring in is usually a thin layer in my area... and... they spread it with more heavy equipment... making things worse... never better.
They do market plows to break up that compaction... but the equipment required for operation wouldn't fit on your plot.
I suspect that your expensive trees are going to prove extremely slow to grow... without some backbreaking labour to repair the soil.
