Sneads Ferry sits where the New River meets the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Shrimp boats still tie up at Fulchers Landing. Newer streets keep pushing north along NC 172 toward the Camp Lejeune gate. We clear lots and cut brush across all of it. Coastal Brush Mowing is owner-operated out of Burgaw in Pender County. We have run this work since 2013. Jobs here run from half-acre house lots to wooded tracts off NC 210. The person who answers the phone at (910) 512-9578 runs the excavator.
The ground here is flat coastal plain with sandy soil. The New River and the waterway hold the water table high. Low spots stay soft for days after a storm. Sandy soil also digs easy and caves easy. That changes how a lot gets cleared and how the dirt gets moved. We handle forestry mulching, brush cutting, stump work and excavation on the same property. Grading for drainage usually comes first, then the finish surface. Handling both on one trip keeps the schedule tight.

Sneads Ferry sits between the New River and Stump Sound. Both push groundwater close to the surface. A lot that looks dry in July can hold water in October. We read the low spots before any machine touches the ground. On soft ground we mulch standing brush in place instead of hauling it out. The mulch mat spreads the machine weight and cuts down on ruts. Where the ground is firm, we haul stumps and root balls off site. We pick the method that fits the lot.
Onslow County is one of North Carolina's 20 CAMA counties. Work in or near an Area of Environmental Concern can need a state permit from the Division of Coastal Management. Stump Sound also carries an Outstanding Resource Water designation from NC DEQ. If your lot runs to the marsh, tell us early. We will stay back from the line and keep the work upland until you have paperwork in hand. Grading and dirt work near the water needs a plan for where the runoff goes.
Sneads Ferry is one of the fastest growing parts of Onslow County. Subdivisions keep filling in north along NC 172 toward the Sneads Ferry gate at Camp Lejeune. Buyers keep picking wooded lots off NC 210 and the roads down toward the water. Most of those lots need the trees down and a pad set before a builder shows up. We open the driveway first so the concrete truck has a route. Then we clear the house pad and rough grade it to drain away from the slab.
Hurricane season leaves a mess here. Florence snapped large trees across Sneads Ferry and Topsail in 2018. Onslow County was one of the hardest hit counties for timberland. Storm debris still turns up on back lots and old pasture. We take down leaners and grind the stumps flush. Fence lines get cleared again too. Brush comes back fast in this climate, so pasture and lot edges need a cut every year or two. Bush hogging keeps that growth down, and stump grinding gets rid of what the mower cannot cross.
