Hampstead sits along US 17 in Pender County, between Wilmington and the bridges over to Topsail Island. Coastal Brush Mowing runs out of Burgaw in that same county, and has cleared land in Hampstead since 2013. The area grew fast: the 2020 census counted 7,016 residents in Hampstead, up from 4,083 in 2010. Almost all of that new housing landed on wooded lots that someone had to clear and grade first.
Homes keep going up around Olde Point, Belvedere Plantation, Castle Bay and WyndWater, and out along Sloop Point Road. Older places on those same streets have back acreage that grew over while nobody was cutting it. We handle both: raw lot clearing for a new build, and cleanup on ground that got away from someone. The owner answers the phone and runs the machines, so you talk to the person doing the work.

Most Hampstead lots start as pine and mixed hardwood, with thick brush and vines under the canopy. We clear the building pad, the driveway path and the yard, then haul the wood out by dump truck. When you want to keep the tall trees, forestry mulching grinds the understory and leaves the mulch on the ground. Stumps come out or get ground down, depending on what goes on top of that spot next.
Pender County ranks among the fastest growing counties in North Carolina, and Hampstead carries a big share. The county approved permits for 5,117 new housing units between 2020 and 2024 alone. US 17 is changing with it: the 12.6 mile Hampstead Bypass is not due to finish until 2030. We work through that traffic every week, on job sites either side of US 17 in Hampstead.
Soil here runs sandy coastal plain, and in the low spots the water table sits close to the surface. A lot that looks dry in August can hold standing water for days after a hard rain. We shape the ground so water runs off the pad and the driveway instead of sitting on them. That is grading and dirt work: cutting the high spots down and filling the low ones.
An excavator handles the heavier jobs: footings, ditch lines, culvert pipe and utility trenches. We also build ponds where a low corner already holds water and the owner wants it deeper. Brush grows back fast on this coast, so cleared ground gets bush hogged once or twice a year. Old sheds and mobile homes come out too, and that is demolition on the same lot.
