Land Clearing & Site Prep in Wilmington, NC
From Leland, Wilmington is a 10-to-15-minute drive north via US-17 across the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, or through the MLK Jr. Parkway corridor depending on which part of the city the job is in.
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 Wilmington
Wilmington sits just across the Cape Fear River from Leland, and that short bridge crossing puts Salty Dog within easy reach of a city with two very different faces: the older residential streets of Forest Hills and Sunset Park, and the fast-growing HOA and apartment corridors along Porters Neck Road and the College Road spine. Market Street and Carolina Beach Road each carry their own mix of commercial and residential properties, and the flat coastal terrain means drainage and turf problems here look a lot like they do in Brunswick County -- compacted soils, subdivisions where builder-grade sod never got proper follow-up, and stormwater ponds required in nearly every development built in the last 30 years. Salty Dog's full service range runs across county lines without a gap.

Everything we do in Wilmington →Common questions
Do you service Wilmington even though you're based in Leland?
Yes. Wilmington is a primary service area -- the drive across the Cape Fear is short, and the team works regularly in New Hanover County on both residential and commercial accounts.
Do I need site grading if I am only putting in a patio?
For Wilmington 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.
