@Frillylily: Thank you, that is some excellent advice. I am quite a novice at this being a first-time homeowner. So after we cleared our land (quite small actually- 0.2 acres), I am feeling overwhelmed
looking at the mulched up brush, shrubs and small trees that were taken down by the forestry mulcher (the mean machine that cleared the land of all the thick brush and trees in about an hour). I guess I am a bit lost as to how to manage all this mulch- some posters ask how big is the mulch (I guess they mean if this mulched up stuff even qualify as mulch)- so I posted a couple of pictures above of how the ground looks like with mulch. Then there are stumps of the brush and trees that came down with elaborate root system underneath which is I am sure is going to start sprouting. So I think managing this situation is the first task and on a parallel track need to start planning for landscape. What are your thoughts here after looking at the pictures?
I am also posting pictures below of how the yard looks from left to right in that order.
