Grass and brush run hard around Jacksonville from March through October, and they keep at it into fall. The climate here is humid subtropical, with long hot summers and short mild winters. A lot cut clean in April can be waist high by the middle of July. Coastal Brush Mowing has done bush hogging since 2013, and we run up from Burgaw in about forty minutes.
Bush hogging cuts standing growth down to the dirt and leaves the ground where it is. Land clearing pulls the roots out too, and it runs a good bit more. For a lot that has sat one or two seasons, a cut is usually all it needs. It is also work you repeat, so most Onslow County owners put it on a schedule.

Inside the Jacksonville city limits, grass or weeds over 8 inches tall on average is a code violation. Dead weeds, grass and brush piled up count against you as well. If it stays that way, the city can send a contractor and lien the property for the cost. That letter is how a good share of our Jacksonville calls start.
The deployment cycle drives a lot of this. Camp Lejeune keeps more than 43,000 Marines and sailors, and units rotate out for months at a time. A rental sits, the lot runs wild, and the notice shows up in the mail back home. Send us the address and we can cut it once, then come back on a set interval.
Onslow County still farms about 52,500 acres, and 86 percent of its farm sales come from livestock and poultry. Farm land has long run heaviest around Richlands and the White Oak area. That means pasture, hay ground and field edges that need a cutter through them once or twice a year. We pick that work up on the run to and from Jacksonville jobs.
Pasture is a different cut from a vacant lot. You want the briars and saplings knocked out without scalping the grass you are keeping. Ditch banks and field roads are the other half of it, and both grow shut fast here. We set the cutting height for what you are after and run it that way.
More about the service itself is on our Bush Hogging page, and everything we do around town is on the Jacksonville service-area page.
