Clearing Farm Property in Eastern NC: Reclaiming Pasture and Field

Eastern NC farms lose ground every year to cedars, sweetgum, briars, and brush.

What's in the way

• Cedars and sweetgum in pasture corners.
• Briars along ditches and fences.
• Old fence lines with 15 years of brush.
• Encroaching woods at field edges.

The method

Forestry mulching is almost always the right answer:

• One pass, no piles.
• Mulch holds soil and feeds the grass back.
• Roots intact — no wash.
• No burn permit needed.

Cost reference

• Pasture mulching: $1,500–$2,800 per acre
• Field-edge brush: $250–$600 per 100 ft
• Boundary edges + corners bundled: custom

Local notes

• Pitt County — large pasture reclamation common.
• Craven and Pamlico lower ground — timing matters.
• Beaufort County field edges — often paired with ditch work.
