Columbus County covers 955 square miles of land, making it the third largest county in the state. Around Whiteville that land is mostly farm ground and timber, and both need clearing at some point. A tract that was in row crop twenty years ago can be in pine and briars today. We clear acreage out here, with machines sized for tracts instead of yards.
Coastal Brush Mowing is owner operated out of Burgaw, in Pender County right next door. We have cleared southeastern North Carolina land since 2013, and Columbus County is part of our regular run. Our land clearing page covers how the process works on a tract of any size. For acreage numbers, call (910) 512-9578 or send the parcel details through the contact page.

Columbus County has run on agriculture and timber for generations, and Whiteville is its county seat. When a tract gets harvested, what stays behind is stumps, tops and slash spread across the ground. That will not farm and it will not build until somebody moves all of it. We push the debris into windrows, grub the stumps and get the tract back to workable dirt.
Cutover ground hides ruts, old skid trails and holes left where root balls pulled out. Those have to be filled and smoothed, or the first tractor across the field finds them the hard way. We knock the high spots down and fill the low ones as we go, which is grading work. Tell us whether the tract is going back to pine, into pasture or into row crop.
Old pasture around Whiteville goes to sweetgum, pine and briar faster than most owners expect. After a few years off, a field can carry stems as thick as your wrist across the whole thing. A mower will not touch that, so it has to be cut and the stumps taken out with it. Once the field is down and grubbed, it can be limed, seeded and grazed again.
Drainage decides a lot out here, since the Waccamaw and the Lumber rivers drain this county. Field ditches fill with brush and silt, and then the low corner of a field stays wet all spring. We clean the ditch line out and reopen the outfall while the tract is already open. That work costs less during clearing than it does as a separate trip months later.
More about the service itself is on our Land Clearing page, and everything we do around town is on the Whiteville service-area page.
