Wilmington keeps growing, and land gets bought here long before it gets built on. That leaves parcels sitting idle: unbuilt subdivision phases, outparcels beside a shopping center, back acreage behind a church. Coastal plain brush fills that ground in a single growing season. Bush hogging keeps it knocked down so the parcel stays usable instead of turning into a thicket.
We run bush hogging in Wilmington and across New Hanover County from our base up in Burgaw. The drive is about 32 miles, so we batch Wilmington stops and cut several properties on one trip. That keeps the schedule steady for owners who want a cut two or three times a season. Our bush hogging page covers the service in full.

New Hanover County holds about 192 square miles of land and more than 220,000 people. Open ground is scarce here, and it does not stay open on its own for long. Warm coastal summers and steady rain push brush back within weeks of a cut. That is why bush hogging around Wilmington is a repeat job rather than a one time cleanup.
Most Wilmington bush hogging calls fall into a few groups. Investors and builders holding lots want them cut so the parcel looks kept and stays open for a survey. Commercial owners want the grass down around outparcels and behind their buildings. Owners of larger parcels on the county edge want fence lines, field edges and ditch banks opened back up.
Sandy ground on the ridges carries a mower fine, even a day or two after rain. Low ground is the problem on a lot of these parcels. Poorly drained spots stay soft well after a storm, and a wet track can rut a field for a season. We read the ground before we drop the deck, and come back for wet corners when they dry.
Hidden objects are the other issue on Wilmington parcels. Old lots collect tires, rebar, well casings and survey pins under the growth. Drainage easements and county maintained ditches run through many properties here, and the bank edge can drop off fast. If the growth has gone past mower height, forestry mulching in Wilmington takes it down first.
