Tree Removal in Navassa, NC

Tree Removal in Navassa is often done on bigger properties than in nearby Leland. The town covers about 13.33 square miles of land along the Brunswick and Cape Fear rivers but had only 1,367 residents in 2020. That leaves a lot of open and wooded land per household, and trees on many properties are scattered around fields, ditches and wetland edges.

History on the land

Five rice plantations once operated where Navassa is today, and after slavery ended, the people who had worked them resettled the area. Navassa residents have a direct link to Gullah Geechee culture, and the town's mayor serves as vice-chair of the executive committee of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor established by Congress in 2006. Family land here has often been held for generations, and many of the big trees on it are older than anyone living there. We treat that history with respect, and we ask before we cut a tree that might mean something to the family.

Marsh and wet ground

The town's eastern edge holds a 330-acre tidal freshwater marsh along the Cape Fear and Brunswick rivers, home to North Carolina's only known population of Carolina bishop weed. A 154-acre marsh along Sturgeon Creek on the southern edge holds the rare cypress knee sedge. Trees near these areas grow on soft, wet soil and tend to have shallow roots. Heavy equipment can sink, and cutting near a marsh can bring other rules into play, so we plan access carefully and keep debris out of the water.

What owners here usually need

• Removing dead or dying pines near homes and outbuildings
• Clearing storm-downed trees from long driveways and yards
• Taking down trees that lean toward the house from a wet edge
• Cutting back overgrown trees along fence lines and fields
• Grinding stumps so mowing is easier

Practical details

Brunswick County is served by Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation and Duke Energy; check your bill to see which serves your home before any work near the lines. For rural properties, tell us about soft ground and the best way in. On bigger jobs we may suggest doing the work in a dry stretch, when trucks won't rut the yard.

Keeping the land useful

On bigger properties, tree work is often part of a larger goal: opening up a garden spot, clearing around a house to reduce storm risk, or reclaiming a field edge that has grown in. We can take out the trees that are in the way or dangerous, leave healthy ones for shade, and grind the stumps so the ground can be mowed or worked. Chips can stay on site as mulch for paths or beds if you want them.
