Category 5 Land Management handles land clearing in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We run a Bobcat T300 compact track loader fitted with a forestry mulcher head. Growth gets mulched in place, so there are no burn piles and nothing hauled off your property. Myrtle Beach sits low on the coastal plain, about 26 feet above sea level. Warm, wet summers push growth hard, and a Myrtle Beach lot left alone fills fast. The town is named for the wax myrtle, and the shrub still takes over open ground. Pine saplings and heavy vines close in behind it, and the lot turns into a wall. We work out of Longs, roughly 16 miles away, and estimates are free. Call (843) 385-1090.
Most of our Myrtle Beach work falls into a few buckets. Lot clearing is the big one, since a wooded parcel needs a buildable footprint before anything else. Forestry mulching is how we get there on most jobs. The mulcher grinds brush and small trees into chips that stay on the ground. Brush clearing suits owners who want the understory knocked down without losing their pines. Out toward Socastee and Burgess, parcels run bigger and more open. There we also handle bush hogging on fields and fence line clearing along property lines. Tell us what the parcel looks like and what you want left standing.

Horry County sits on flat coastal plain, low ground that holds water after rain. The growing season runs long and the air stays humid. Pine flatwoods and bay forest cover much of the county west of the Intracoastal Waterway. Cut that back once and it returns. Vines climb the young saplings, and the saplings close ranks. Within two or three years a cleared lot can look like it was never touched.
Forestry mulching fits that ground better than pushing with a blade. The Bobcat T300 rides on rubber tracks that spread its weight over soft soil. The mulcher head grinds brush and small trees down where they stand. What comes out is a layer of wood chips across the surface. That layer holds dirt in place during a hard coastal rain. It also slows the next round of growth. Bare dirt sprouts back faster than covered ground.
Horry County has grown fast for two decades, and building has not slowed. The population passed 351,000 in the 2020 count, up 44 percent since 2000. Permits were pulled for 7,331 new private housing structures in the county during 2024. Carolina Forest alone covers a 12,000 acre tract planned for about 20,000 homes. Owners buy a parcel off Forestbrook Road or SC 707 and find it grown shut. Land clearing is the first step before a survey crew or a builder can get in.
Some Myrtle Beach jobs are smaller than a full build site. If a back half acre in Socastee has gone to brush, that is brush clearing. If a property line near Burgess is buried, that is fence line clearing. Fields west of the Intracoastal Waterway that went to scrub fall under pasture reclamation. Bush hogging keeps open ground knocked down once the heavy growth is off. Give us the address and tell us what you want cleared.
