About Category 5 Land Management

An Owner-Operated Land Clearing Business

Our Story

A Husband-and-Wife Business in Longs, SC

Category 5 Land Management is run by Terry and Natalie Hunnell out of Longs, South Carolina. The name comes from where we live: hurricane country, where the growth comes back as hard as the storms do. We clear it for a living.

The work is what overgrown coastal land needs: land clearing, forestry mulching, bush hogging, brush clearing, lot clearing, pasture reclamation and fence line clearing. We run a Bobcat T300 track loader with a forestry mulcher head, the same machine you see in every photo on this site, on our own jobs.

The person who prices your job runs the machine that does it. Call (843) 385-1090. The estimate is free either way, and if the job needs equipment we do not run, we tell you that on the spot.

How We Work

Three Rules We Don't Break

Tell You the Truth About the Job

If our machine is the right tool, we say so. If a job needs big timber down or stumps out, that is different equipment, and we tell you that before you spend a dollar.

Price It in Person

Clearing prices live in details a phone call cannot see: growth, ground, water, access. We look at the property first, so the number you get is one that holds.

Leave the Ground Usable

Stems cut low, chips spread even, the trees you flagged still standing. When the machine loads up, you can cross the ground and use it, and the job is done when you say it is.

Why Choose Category 5

Why Landowners on the Grand Strand Call Us

Owner-Operated

A husband-and-wife business based in Longs. The person who prices your job is the person on the machine, and the phone reaches the operator every time.

Mulched in Place

The forestry mulcher grinds growth into chips where it stands. No burn piles to permit and watch, no dump trucks, and the ground cover stays on your land.

Free On-Site Estimates

We look at the property before we price it. You get a real number for the job as it stands, before any work starts, and the estimate costs you nothing.

Built for Coastal Ground

A tracked machine on flat, sandy coastal plain with a high water table. It rides where wheels sink, and we work both sides of the SC/NC line.

What You Can Expect

How a Job With Category 5 Runs

From the first call to the last pass of the mulcher, here is exactly how it goes.

1

Call or Send the Form

Tell us where the property is and what you want the ground to do. You reach the operator, not a call center.

2

We Look at the Property

We come out, look at the growth and the ground, and talk through what the job takes. The estimate is free and it is a real number.

3

The Mulcher Goes to Work

The Bobcat T300 grinds brush and small trees into chips where they stand. No burn piles, nothing hauled off your land.

4

You Get Open Ground

Clean, walkable ground with a mulch layer over it. Ready to mow, plan on, fence, or just look at without the overgrowth.
