Swansboro sits on the White Oak River in Onslow County, at the far northeast edge of the area we cover. We run Coastal Brush Mowing out of Burgaw, and we take on land clearing and dirt work out to Swansboro. Some jobs here are small lots inside town limits, and others are wooded tracts out toward Hubert and Stella. The person who answers the phone at (910) 512-9578 is the same one who runs the excavator here.
Ground near the river runs sandy and flat, and low spots hold water long after a storm. Brush comes back fast in this climate, so a lot that was clear last spring can be thick again. We bring an excavator and a tracked skid steer, and a dump truck when material has to leave the lot. We can leave the ground mowed low or mulched flat, depending on what you plan to do with it.

Fields and back lots around Swansboro fill in fast with briars and young pine, often in a single season. For open ground that needs knocking down once or twice a year, bush hogging is the quickest way through. When stems grow thicker than your wrist, a rotary mower stops working, and we switch to forestry mulching. The mulcher grinds brush and small trees into chips, and those chips stay on the ground as cover.
Full clearing of a tract is a different job, and it takes an excavator to pull roots and load debris. We push the material into piles, then load it into the dump truck and haul it off the lot. On rural tracts out toward Hubert and Queens Creek, there is usually room to stack material out of the way. Inside town limits the lots are smaller, so more of the debris has to leave by truck.
The lower stretch of the White Oak River is a tidal estuary, and the flat ground beside it drains slowly. After a hard rain, water sits in low spots for days, and trucks bog down in soft ground. Grading and dirt work fixes that, and we shape the ground so water runs off toward a ditch or swale. We cut swales, build up pads and shape driveways so the high point is where you need it.
Excavation work here covers footings and utility lines, along with digging out old stumps and buried debris. Downtown Swansboro is a historic district, listed on the National Register since 1990, with small lots near the water. A tracked skid steer fits through gates and around old trees where a big machine would not. On those jobs we work in smaller passes and keep the mess close to where we are digging.
