Additional Services We Offer at Southern Hauling & Clearing
At Southern Hauling & Clearing, we don’t just move material—we transform and protect your property. Utilizing heavy-duty, professional-grade machinery, we deliver precision site solutions for homeowners, landowners, and commercial properties throughout Wilmington and surrounding counties.
Beyond our core skid steer services and demolition work, we provide specialized expertise in advanced drainage infrastructure and large-scale land management.
What We Do
Southern Hauling and Clearing specializes in:
Underground Gutter Drainage
Standard downspouts drop hundreds of gallons of roof runoff right at your foundation, leading to cracked concrete, damp crawlspaces, and eroded landscaping. Our Process: We trench and install 4-inch solid piping underground to channel roof water safely away from your home to a pop-up emitter or daylight exit.
French Drain Installation
If your yard stays squishy days after a rainstorm or has consistent standing water, you have a groundwater problem. Our Process: We excavate a precisely graded trench, line it with commercial-grade geotextile filter fabric, lay perforated piping, and backfill it with clean crushed stone to create a high-flow underground channel that keeps your lawn dry.
Culvert Installation & Replacement
An undersized, rusted, or collapsed culvert pipe will back up during a heavy storm, washing out your driveway and leaving you stranded. Our Process: We use precision laser leveling to size, pull grade, and install heavy-duty dual-wall or steel culvert pipes, ensuring smooth ditch flow and a rock-solid foundation that handles heavy vehicle traffic.
Land Clearing & Vegetation Management
Whether you are reclaiming an overgrown backyard, clearing a fence line, or prepping a lot for new construction, we have the mechanical muscle to clear the way quickly and safely.
Professional Brush Cutting
Overgrown brush, thickets, and briars can quickly overtake a property, destroying your curb appeal and making your land unusable. Our Process: Equipped with high-performance compact track loaders and heavy-duty cutters, we efficiently mow down dense brush, small saplings, and tangled undergrowth to instantly clean up your property boundaries.
Forestry Mulching
Traditional land clearing leaves behind massive brush piles, ugly root holes, and scarred earth that requires expensive hauling or burning. Our Process: Our specialized forestry mulching head shreds standing trees, stumps, and heavy vegetation right where they stand, turning unwanted overgrowth into a clean, nutrient-rich layer of mulch. There are no burn piles left behind and no expensive landfill trip fees—just a pristine, park-like finish.
Seeding and Topsoil
After clearing, grading, or any major ground disturbance, bare soil is vulnerable — to erosion, runoff, and weed takeover. The right seed and a solid layer of quality topsoil are what turn a freshly worked yard into a stable, healthy lawn. Our Process: We bring in premium screened topsoil and spread it evenly across your site to create the ideal seed bed. We then hand-seed or broadcast the appropriate grass variety for your soil type and sun exposure, raking and tamping for good seed-to-soil contact. The result is a foundation that gives your lawn the best possible start.
Hydro Seeding
For larger areas, slopes, or any site where erosion is a real risk, traditional hand seeding just doesn't cut it. Hydro seeding delivers faster germination, better coverage, and far superior erosion control across even the most challenging terrain. Our Process: We apply a slurry of seed, fertilizer, and tackifier mulch through a hydro seeder, coating your soil in a uniform layer that locks moisture in and seed in place. The mulch blanket protects against rain wash-out while accelerating germination — so you get green, faster, with less seed loss and fewer bare spots to re-seed later.
