Rocky Point sits nine miles south of our shop on Highsmith Road in Burgaw, so this is home ground. Coastal Brush Mowing has cleared land and moved dirt across Pender County since 2013. The soil around Rocky Point is old farm ground, sandy on top, with marl underneath in spots. Some tracts dry out a day after a storm, and others hold water for the better part of a week.
Rocky Point is changing fast, and the NC 210 corridor out toward I-40 Exit 408 shows it most. Pender County now ranks second in North Carolina for population growth, and Rocky Point sits in the middle of it. Old fields and pine woods here are turning into house lots, driveways, ponds and septic fields. We do the dirt side of that work, which covers clearing, digging, grading and hauling the spoil.

Lots around Rocky Point run large, and a half acre sits on the small end for this whole area. We clear house sites, pasture, driveways and whole tracts along NC 210, US 117 and Shaw Highway. The excavator pulls stumps out on open ground, and stump grinding handles the ones close to a house. On a wooded tract, forestry mulching grinds the brush in place and leaves the chips instead of a burn pile.
Old farm ground holds surprises, and the marl under the sand digs harder than most owners expect. We check that before quoting excavation, so the price matches the dirt we actually hit. County sewer does not reach Rocky Point, so most homes here run on a septic field. Demolition of an old barn or slab fits in too, and we haul the debris and leave the pad flat.
The Northeast Cape Fear River runs past Rocky Point, with a public boat ramp out on Shaw Highway. Island Creek and Turkey Creek both feed that river, and both cross land that people are building on. Hurricane Florence put large parts of this area under water, so drainage is the first thing we look at. Grading and dirt work starts with where the water goes, and the fill and the slope follow that.
Low spots that hold water for days need a real plan long before any fill dirt goes down. Sometimes that means a swale and a culvert, and sometimes it means a pond that holds the water. Part of Rocky Point sits inside the 100-year flood zone, and plenty of tracts carry wetlands as well. We set the driveway and the house pad above the wet ground, so you can get in year round.
