Land Clearing & Dirt Work in Swansboro, NC

Serving Swansboro · Onslow County

Clearing, Dirt and Demolition Work in Swansboro

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.

Clearing overgrown land around Swansboro

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.

Dirt work and drainage near the White Oak River

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.

Questions From Swansboro Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Swansboro. Don't see yours? Call us — we're happy to help.

Call (910) 512-9578

Do you come out to Swansboro from Burgaw?
Yes, Swansboro sits at the far northeast corner of our service area, and we take jobs there. It is a real drive from Burgaw, so we set these jobs up ahead instead of same day. Call (910) 512-9578 with the address, the size of the lot and what you want gone. We will tell you what the job needs and when we can get a machine there.
Can you clear a lot that backs up to the marsh?
We can clear up to the line that the rules allow, and we stop there. Onslow County is one of North Carolina's 20 CAMA counties, so coastal rules apply near the water. Work close to marsh or shoreline can need a state permit from the Division of Coastal Management. Check with the county planning office first, and we will plan the clearing around what is approved.
How often does brush need cutting back near the coast?
Most open ground near the coast needs a cut once or twice a year to stay open. Warm, wet summers push growth hard, so a lot left alone for two years turns back into thicket. Storms add to it, and Hurricane Florence dropped more than thirty inches of rain on Swansboro in 2018. Downed limbs and leaning pines are still part of the work here, and we clear those with the excavator.
