Land clearing is the center of what we do. Wooded lots, overgrown acreage and future homesites get opened up: trees pushed out, brush and undergrowth removed, stumps pulled, and the ground left clean enough to grade, build on or fence. Jobs run from a half-acre house lot in Wilmington to full tracts out in Pender and Columbus counties.
The work runs off excavators, a tracked skid steer and a dump truck, so clearing, hauling and rough shaping happen in one trip. Debris gets piled or hauled off, whichever the job calls for. When the land is clear, the same machines handle the excavation, grading and dirt work or a pond, so the property finishes ready for what comes next.
Burgaw, NC · Since 2013
Owner Operated Coastal Brush Mowing is an owner-operated land clearing and excavation business based in Burgaw, working southeastern North Carolina since 2013. The person you call is the person in the machine: no sales layer, no handoffs. Brush mowing is where the business started, and the work has grown into full clearing, dirt work, demolition and ponds for homeowners, landowners and builders.
The person you call is the person in the machine. You explain the job once, the estimate comes from the one doing the work, and nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Excavators, a tracked skid steer and a dump truck under one name. Clearing, dirt work, demolition and the haul-off get done as one job with one estimate.
Sandy soil, wet low spots, a high water table and brush that never quits. This is the only ground we have worked since 2013, and the work is planned for what it does.
We look at the property, talk through what it needs, and hand you a real number. The estimate costs nothing and the price comes from seeing the ground.
