Forestry mulching in Myrtle Beach solves a problem this town literally named itself after. The wax myrtle still takes over any open ground left alone, with briars and pine saplings close behind. Our Bobcat T300 runs a forestry mulcher head that grinds all of it into chips where it stands. The chips stay on your ground as cover. There is no burn pile to permit and no line of trucks hauling debris off the lot.
Category 5 Land Management works out of Longs, about 16 miles up SC 90, so Myrtle Beach is a short run for the machine. Mulching is the heart of most clearing work we do here. The full service, and how it compares to other clearing methods, is on our forestry mulching service page.

Myrtle Beach sits about 26 feet above sea level on flat, sandy coastal plain. Warm wet summers push growth hard, and a lot can close up in two or three years. Pushing that growth over with a blade strips the topsoil and leaves bare sand. Bare sand washes toward the nearest ditch in a coastal downpour. Mulching grinds the growth and drops a chip layer that holds the surface in place.
The T300 rides on rubber tracks that spread its weight, so it works soft ground without cutting ruts. It also works tight. On an overgrown half acre in Forestbrook or Burgess, the machine turns inside the lot and leaves the keeper pines standing. You point out what stays. Everything else becomes mulch.
Horry County pulled permits for 7,331 new private housing structures in 2024, and parcels trade fast. Buyers off Forestbrook Road or SC 707 often find their new lot grown shut. Mulching opens it so a survey crew can shoot lines and a builder can see grade. Owners who plan to hold their land use the same work to knock the understory out of their pines and make the parcel walkable.
Some jobs stop short of full clearing. Thinning brush for sight lines, opening a path to a back property corner, or cutting growth off a drainage ditch all run off the same head. When a job is really about the whole parcel, that is closer to the land clearing on our Myrtle Beach land clearing page. When a field just needs regular knockdown, bush hogging in Myrtle Beach is the cheaper repeat service.
We mulch across the Myrtle Beach ZIP codes 29577, 29572, and 29575, and the growth corridors around them. That includes Forestbrook, Burgess, Waterford Plantation, Plantation Lakes, and the wooded edges of Market Common. West of the Intracoastal Waterway the parcels get bigger and the pine flatwoods thicker. The machine handles both sides of the waterway the same way.
Jobs that involve lighter growth than a mulcher needs fall under lighter brush clearing. Either way the process starts the same. Send the address, tell us what you want the ground to look like, and we come look at it free. If our machine is not the right tool for what you have, we say so at the estimate.
