We handle land clearing in Loris, South Carolina, on farm ground and wooded tracts alike. Loris sits up in northern Horry County, where the map is mostly fields and pine. A lot of land around Loris has not been worked in years. Old tobacco ground grows back in sweetgum and briars. Fence lines fill in until you cannot see the wire. Pine tracts get so thick you cannot walk a line through them. We run a Bobcat T300 with a forestry mulcher head. It grinds standing brush and small trees into chips on the spot. Nothing gets piled up to burn. Nothing gets hauled to the road. When we finish, you are looking at open ground with a mulch cover on it.
Farm country asks for different work than a subdivision lot. Around Loris we do a lot of bush hogging on fields that got away from the mower. Two or three seasons of growth is normal here. Sometimes small pines have come up through the broomstraw. Pasture reclamation is the same idea on a bigger scale. We take an old pasture back down to grass so cattle or horses can use it. Fence line clearing is steady work too. A mulcher cuts a clean edge along the wire without tearing up the posts. For heavier ground with real stems in it, forestry mulching does the job in one pass.

Loris was a tobacco town for a long time. Warehouses downtown once made it one of the biggest markets in this part of the state. A lot of that ground is out of production now. Some of it went into pines. Some just grew up in briars and gum saplings. Land clearing on old field ground is usually straightforward. The stems are young, and a mulcher can take them down without much trouble.
The work is simple to picture. We set the mulcher on the growth and grind it where it stands. The chips fall on the ground and stay there. Nothing burns, and nothing rides out on a trailer. That matters on a farm, because burn piles leave scars you have to work around. On old crop ground, the mulch layer settles into the dirt over a season or two. You end up with open field you can bush hog again or plant.
North and west of Loris, the roads run out toward Green Sea and Finklea. US 701 and SC 9 are the main routes through this end of the county. Off the pavement you find planted pine and hardwood bottoms that stay wet. A lot of that land is held for timber and hunting. Tracts sit back off dirt roads, and the undergrowth closes in fast. A shooting lane that was open two years ago can be a wall of brush now.
Forestry mulching works well on this kind of tract. The T300 is a track machine, so it stays on top of soft ground better than wheels. We can cut a lane wide enough for a truck without opening the whole woods. The same head cleans up a shooting lane or a field edge that has grown in. On smaller stems, one pass is usually enough. Heavier stuff takes longer, so we look at the tract first and tell you what we see.
