Land Clearing & Site Prep in Leland, NC
Salty Dog is based in Leland and serves the entire county from here, so your crew is not driving in from 45 minutes away.
Raw lots, overgrown easements, and storm-damaged common areas all need clearing before any other work can start. We handle brush removal, rough grading, and site prep for new builds and renovation projects across Leland, Wilmington, Hampstead, Bolivia, and Carolina Beach. Work is scoped and photographed before and after. If the cleared site needs drainage work or a hardscape build next, we can carry that through under the same contract.
About Leland
Leland is Salty Dog's home market, sitting at the western end of US-74/76 where Brunswick County meets the Cape Fear River. The growth corridor running from the Wilmington city limits out through Brunswick Forest, Compass Pointe, and the Lanvale Road subdivisions has made this one of the fastest-expanding municipalities in North Carolina, and that pace creates real work: builder-grade yards that need recovering, drainage problems from lots carved out of pine forest, and new homeowners dealing with sandy coastal soils for the first time. The Atlantic-influenced climate here brings long growing seasons and mild winters, which means turf and plantings need consistent attention from early spring through late fall to stay ahead of heat stress and weed pressure.

Everything we do in Leland →Common questions
Do you service all of Leland, including subdivisions off Lanvale Road and out toward Bolivia?
Leland is our home market and we work throughout Brunswick County, including the growth corridors along Lanvale Road, US-17 Business, and surrounding areas. Call us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Do I need site grading if I am only putting in a patio?
For Leland customers: grade is worth looking at before any base work goes in. On flat, sandy ground, water that reaches a finished surface has no natural direction to run, so we check where the ground falls and cut it to a slope on purpose rather than scraping it level. How much grading your lot needs depends on what the ground is already doing, and that is something we can walk and look at with you.
