Overgrown fields and fence lines around Bogue get cut back and cleared so the land is usable again.

County Line Grading is the excavation company Bogue property owners call when a lot along Bogue Sound or NC Highway 24 needs clearing, grading, or drainage work done correctly the first time.
Bogue sits on the mainland side of Bogue Sound, tucked between Cape Carteret and Cedar Point along the NC 24 corridor. Many of the homes and camps here back up to the sound or sit along the creeks that feed it, which means grading has to account for water on more than one side of the property.
Property owners in this community often deal with wooded lots that need clearing before a build, older mobile home pads that need regrading, or driveways that wash out every time a strong nor'easter pushes water up from the sound. Our crews handle each of these situations with equipment sized right for Bogue's mix of small residential lots and larger wooded acreage.
Whether you're building new construction near the water or clearing a family lot that has sat untouched for years, County Line Grading brings the local know-how to prepare it for what comes next.
We offer a full slate of earthwork services for Bogue residents and businesses, from initial lot clearing through final grading and drainage work. Each job starts with a site visit so we can plan around your soil, tree cover, and water flow before equipment ever touches the ground.
Below is the full range of services our crews provide in the Bogue area.

Overgrown fields and fence lines around Bogue get cut back and cleared so the land is usable again.

Old sheds, mobile homes, and unused structures are torn down and hauled off, leaving a clean site ready for the next step.

Foundation digs, ditch work, and soil removal handled with equipment matched to Bogue's sandy, low-lying ground.

Wooded lots near Webb Creek and the sound get cleared of underbrush and small trees without the cost of full removal.

Full lot clearing for new construction, camps, or storage areas, done with respect for neighboring tree lines and setbacks.

Building pads, road cuts, and utility trenches are graded and compacted before construction begins.

Thick coastal underbrush along property lines is cleared so you can see, access, and use your full lot.

Custom drainage plans move water away from homes and driveways instead of letting it pool near Bogue Sound.

Slopes and banks near the water are stabilized to hold soil in place through storms and heavy tides.

Subsurface drains pull standing water away from foundations and low yard areas common on sound-side lots.

Uneven lots are graded to proper slope so water sheds away from structures and driveways year-round.

Yards and building sites are leveled for stable construction, landscaping, or outdoor living space.

Private drives and access roads through Bogue's wooded lots are built and maintained to handle heavy use.
Bogue's land sits close to sea level, with sandy soil that drains fast in some spots and holds water in others depending on how close you are to the sound or one of the feeder creeks. That inconsistency is exactly why cookie-cutter grading plans don't hold up here; each lot needs its own read before work starts.
Because the water table runs high through much of this area, foundation excavation and drainage work require careful attention to slope and compaction. A pad graded without the right pitch can end up holding water against a foundation within the first heavy rain season.
We've worked enough lots along this stretch of Carteret County to know where standing water tends to collect and how to route it away before it becomes a problem. That local read on the ground saves property owners from costly fixes down the road.
Property owners here want a crew that shows up, does the work as described, and leaves the site in better shape than they found it. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job in Bogue.
Here's what sets our work apart for local homeowners, builders, and commercial clients.
We've graded and cleared enough Bogue lots to understand how water moves through this area and how to plan around it.
You get a clear estimate, a realistic timeline, and honest answers about what your site actually needs.
Every project is backed by proper licensing and insurance, and we stand behind the work once it's finished.

Getting a Bogue property ready for building, drainage repair, or clearing follows a consistent process designed to keep surprises off the table.
We walk the property, check soil conditions, note tree lines and water flow, and talk through what you want the finished site to look like.
You receive a clear, itemized estimate covering the scope of work, and we schedule the job around your timeline and any permitting needs.
Our crew completes the clearing, grading, or drainage work, then cleans up debris and walks the finished site with you before we leave.
If you own a lot along Bogue Sound, off NC Highway 24, or anywhere in this community, our crew can walk the property and put together a straightforward plan for clearing, grading, or drainage. Reach out today and let's get your site moving toward its next stage.
