South River Land Services is a land clearing, excavation and site preparation contractor based in Garland, NC across Clinton, NC, Fayetteville, NC and Cumberland County, NC. Call (910) 880-4955 to talk through a project.
South River Land Services LLC is a land services company based in Garland, North Carolina, started in 2023. They handle excavation, traditional land clearing, grading and site preparation, demolition, debris removal, tree removal and retaining walls for landowners with larger properties, developers, contractors and businesses around Clinton and Fayetteville.
The company describes itself as Christian-owned and runs track hoes, skid steers and dozers. They charge for estimates rather than offering free ones: every job starts with a property visit where they look at terrain, access and scope, so the number they give holds up once work begins.
- Estimates built on a site visitThey don't do quick free quotes. A paid estimate follows a walk of the property covering terrain, access and site-specific problems.
- Track hoes, skid steers and dozersTheir fleet covers digging, grading and clearing, plus equipment for tree removal and debris handling.
- Traditional clearing, not mulchingLand clearing is done with excavators, dozers and skid steers. They state plainly that they don't offer forestry mulching.
- Local to Sampson CountyBased in Garland, working Clinton, Fayetteville and Cumberland, Sampson, Bladen and Harnett counties, and often further across Eastern NC.

Questions
Practical answers before you call
Straight from South River Land Services's own published answers.
Ask them directlyDoes South River Land Services offer free estimates?
No. They charge for estimates. The fee covers a full evaluation of the property, including access, terrain, scope and site-specific challenges, so the estimate is accurate rather than a drive-by guess.
What areas do they serve?
They're based in Garland, NC and mainly serve Clinton, Fayetteville and surrounding communities in Cumberland, Sampson, Bladen and Harnett counties. Projects elsewhere in Eastern North Carolina are often possible; call to check.
Do they do forestry mulching?
No. Their land clearing uses traditional equipment such as track hoes, skid steers and dozers. Forestry mulching is not a service they provide.
Do they work on residential and commercial projects?
Both. They work with landowners who have larger properties and need homesites cleared, foundations dug or pads graded, and with developers, contractors and businesses on commercial site work and demolition.
Do they remove hazardous materials or asbestos?
No. Hazardous waste and asbestos need certified abatement contractors before demolition or debris removal. They handle general debris and construction materials.
How do I get started?
Call (910) 880-4955 or use the contact form on their website. They'll talk through the project, confirm it's a fit, and schedule a site visit.
