Jacksonville sits on the New River, at the point where the water spreads into a tidal estuary. The land around town is flat coastal plain, sandy on the high ground and wet in the low spots. Coastal Brush Mowing has done land clearing since 2013, and we run up from Burgaw in about forty minutes. We clear homesites, driveway routes, pasture and pond sites on acreage all over Onslow County.
Land clearing means different work on different tracts, even ones a mile apart. Some lots need every tree out and the stumps pulled before anyone sets a foundation. Others need the brush cut back so you can see the corners and the ditch lines. We look at the site first, then price the work your Jacksonville property actually needs.

Much of our Jacksonville work sits on small acreage bought by Marines and their families. More than 43,000 Marines and sailors are stationed at Camp Lejeune, and plenty of them buy land off base. The tract looks open in the listing photos, then you stand on it and find years of growth. Clearing turns that into ground you can stake, measure and hand to a builder.
Access is usually the first problem on these lots, because most have road frontage and no way in. We cut the drive route first, then work back into the tract with the excavator. Stumps and root balls come out with the trees, and we can grind stumps that stay. If the new drive ties into a state road, NCDOT has to permit that connection.
North Carolina requires an approved erosion control plan when a job uncovers more than one acre of land. Plans go in at least 30 days before work starts, so the paperwork runs ahead of the machines. Inside the Jacksonville city limits, the city reviews and approves that plan before any dirt moves. Outside the city, the state handles it through the DEQ land quality office in Wilmington.
Onslow County is one of the twenty CAMA coastal counties in North Carolina. If your tract touches an Area of Environmental Concern, a CAMA permit comes into play. Wet ground matters too, since wetlands make up roughly a quarter of the New River basin's land cover. Soils like the Leon series drain poorly and stay soft, so we time that work around the weather.
More about the service itself is on our Land Clearing page, and everything we do around town is on the Jacksonville service-area page.
