It... really, REALLY doesn't. I don't have the pickaxe, but rocks aren't my problem. I went through that time with the hoe using the 'leveling' mode. Usually using it 4 or 5 times in 1 place before moving the crosshair maybe a millimeter before doing it again. 1 1/2 hours for a 7x7 housing plan, and NONE of it was level.
