If you designate a grow zone but disable sewing pawns will harvest/cut trees but only when they're 100% developed.
You can also set up an animal pen and use the auto-cut feature, I think. Just enable everything to be cut and remember to enable the feature itself at the top of its configuration window.
The issue there is fences provide limited cover and you'll have to disable all animal types from being held in the pen unless you want them wandering around in front of your turrets.
As others have said, paving is probably my favorite solution. I usually throw down some flagstone.
