Coastal Brush Mowing has been clearing land and moving dirt across southeastern North Carolina since 2013. The shop sits in Burgaw, and we run NC 53 east through Maple Hill into Onslow County. It is about 33 miles, and that road even carries our town's name into Jacksonville as Burgaw Highway. The drive is built into our schedule, so a Jacksonville job still gets a full day on site.
Land clearing leads the work we do here, on wooded lots and old fields grown up in brush. That same trip can also cover grading and dirt work, stump grinding, demolition, and pond construction. One person handles the job, from the first look at the lot to the last load hauled out. Call (910) 512-9578 and tell us what you want the property to do.

Most Jacksonville calls start the same way: someone bought a wooded parcel and needs room to build. Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River keep families moving into Onslow County, and plenty of them want acreage. Half Moon, Piney Green, Pumpkin Center, and the Gum Branch side still hold pine ground nobody has opened up. We clear those parcels down to workable dirt, then haul off whatever comes out of the way.
Pine ground around Jacksonville comes back fast once a canopy opens up and light hits the floor. Sweetgum, wax myrtle, gallberry, and greenbrier can fill a cut-over field in about two growing seasons. Small stems suit forestry mulching, which grinds the growth and leaves the chips down as cover. Heavier brush across open acreage moves faster with bush hogging, and stump grinding cleans up what stays behind.
Jacksonville sits on the New River, which widens below the city into a tidal estuary about two miles across. The USDA even named a soil series after this county, and Onslow soil is sandy loam over clay hardpan. Its water table climbs to roughly 18 inches from December into April, so timing changes what a machine can do. Clearing here usually turns into dirt work, and excavation gives standing water a path off the lot.
Storm cleanup stays steady work across Onslow County, and the Hurricane Florence numbers show the scale of it. The county hauled more than 1.3 million cubic yards of debris off public roadsides after that storm. Private land still carries leaning pines and buried root balls that nobody ever got around to. We pull those with an excavator, load the dump truck, and take down wrecked sheds under demolition.
