Land clearing in Conway usually means working around water. Conway sits on the west bank of the Waccamaw River, on flat coastal plain. Sandy soil and a high water table decide what grows here. Pine flatwoods push right up to property lines all around Conway. The deed says woods. What you have is scrub oak, sweetgum, briars, and young pines. That growth comes back fast in this climate. Category 5 Land Management is based in Longs, about 18 miles away. We run a Bobcat T300 track loader with a forestry mulcher head. It grinds standing growth into chips right where that growth stands. Nothing gets piled or burned. Nothing leaves on a trailer.
Land around Conway comes in a few shapes. Old farm ground sits south of town near Toddville and along US 701. Planted pine tracts and low riverfront parcels sit closer to the Waccamaw. Newer subdivisions keep filling in along US 501 and the SC 90 corridor toward Red Hill. Land clearing is the main job we do on raw acreage here. It opens a homesite or a clean driveway line. Forestry mulching handles thick understory without stripping the topsoil. Lot clearing works for a single building lot in a new subdivision. Bush hogging knocks down a field that got ahead of you. Free estimates on any of it.

The Waccamaw is a blackwater river, and it holds water long after a storm. The gauge at Conway hits flood stage at 11 feet. At that level, yards and roads go under in Lees Landing and Savannah Bluff. Tropical Storm Debby put parts of Conway under water in 2024. Soft ground changes how you clear. A tracked machine spreads its weight instead of digging ruts. The Bobcat T300 rides on rubber tracks for that reason.
Mulching also leaves the ground covered. The chips stay on site as a layer of mulch. That layer holds sandy soil in place when heavy rain comes. Bare dirt on a cleared lot washes toward the nearest ditch. A mulched lot does not. There is no burn pile to permit or babysit. There is no line of dump trucks running out to a landfill. Your land keeps what came off it.
Horry County has more than 440,000 people in 2026. That is up more than 60 percent since 2010. Conway went from about 17,100 people in 2010 to about 24,800 in 2020. Subdivisions keep going up where corn and tobacco used to grow. Some owners are selling. Others are building on land they already had. Either way, the first step is usually land clearing. A tract that sat in timber for decades does not open up on its own.
Old pasture is a common call around here. A field stops getting cut, and pines and sweetgum move in fast. A few years later it looks like woods again. Pasture reclamation puts that ground back in grass. Fence line clearing opens the line so you can see it and fix it. Both jobs run off the same machine and the same mulcher head.
