About Wildwood Eco Solutions


Rooted in experience. Built to do the job right.

Wildwood Eco Solutions, LLC is a family-run land clearing and forestry mulching company founded by brothers Phillip and Spencer Joyner. Based near Rocky Mount, North Carolina, we help landowners reclaim overgrown property, open up access, clear trails and fence lines, and make land more usable without tearing up more ground than necessary.

We started Wildwood because we saw a need for land clearing done with better communication, better planning, and a more practical approach. A lot of people can show up with equipment. Not everyone takes the time to understand the property, explain the scope clearly, follow up when they say they will, and help the customer avoid paying for work they do not actually need.

That is where Wildwood is different.

Spencer leads the field side of the business and is the primary equipment operator. Phillip brings the technical, business, and strategy side, with a background as a licensed Professional Engineer working in civil site design, grading, stormwater, erosion control, and land development. Their parents, Phil and Sylvia Joyner, also help with lead follow-up, customer communication, site visit scheduling, and front-end coordination.

Together, the Joyner family combines hands-on fieldwork, practical site knowledge, and clear communication. Most landowners do not need a complicated production. They need someone honest to look at the property, explain what makes sense, schedule the work clearly, and do the job cleanly.

Our work is grounded in Christian values, strong work ethic, and treating people the way we would want to be treated. We are proud to serve Rocky Mount, Nash County, Edgecombe County, and the surrounding Eastern North Carolina region.

— PARTNER & EQUIPMENT OPERATOR

Spencer Joyner


Spencer is the boots-on-the-ground leader of Wildwood Eco Solutions and the primary equipment operator on most projects. Whether he is mulching thick underbrush, opening up a fence line, reclaiming an overgrown lot, or cutting access trails through wooded property, Spencer brings care and attention to the work.

Customers consistently describe Spencer as professional, respectful, clear, and easy to work with. He communicates what the project needs, shows up when he says he will, and takes pride in leaving the property better than he found it. That may sound simple, but in land clearing, simple things like showing up on time and doing what you said you would do are apparently a competitive advantage. We did not make the rules.

Spencer is also highly mechanically inclined, with experience working on cars, trucks, and heavy equipment. That mechanical background matters in this business. Land clearing equipment lives a hard life, and keeping machines running well is part of keeping projects moving.

When he is not in the field, Spencer enjoys fishing at the coast and spending time in the mountains. He is a husband and father, lives in Rocky Mount, and attends Redeemer Church.

— PARTNER, OPERATIONS & STRATEGY

Phillip Joyner, Jr., P.E.


Phillip is the co-founder of Wildwood Eco Solutions and handles much of the business, technical, and strategy side of the company. He is a licensed Professional Engineer and works full-time in civil engineering, where he designs sites, grading plans, stormwater systems, erosion control plans, and land development projects.

That background gives Wildwood a practical edge. Phillip understands drainage, access, slopes, site constraints, property use, and how small decisions in the field can affect the long-term condition of a property. He helps with operations, accounting, technology, client coordination, marketing, and project planning while also stepping into the field when needed.

Phillip is also developing web apps and SaaS products, including tools related to civil design, estimating, and business operations. He brings that same systems-minded approach to Wildwood: clear scopes, practical workflows, better communication, and a smoother process from first contact to finished job.

Outside of work, Phillip is a husband, father, outdoorsman, and endurance athlete. He has completed two half Ironman races and is currently training for a full Ironman. He enjoys hiking, mountain trips, and time outside with his family. Phillip lives in Rocky Mount and is a member of Redeemer Church.

— CUSTOMER COORDINATION & SITE VISIT SCHEDULING

Phil & Sylvia Joyner


Phil and Sylvia Joyner help Wildwood with lead follow-up, customer communication, and site visit scheduling. They are often involved early in the process, helping customers get connected, answer initial questions, and get a site visit on the calendar.

That early communication matters. A good land clearing job starts before the machine ever shows up. It starts with understanding what the customer wants, where the property is, what areas need to be cleared, what should be avoided, and whether the job is a good fit.

Phil also helps with site visits and front-end project review, looking at practical details like access, property conditions, customer goals, and potential problem areas. Sylvia helps keep communication moving so leads do not fall through the cracks and customers know what to expect next.

Hidden wire, wet ground, tight access, large stumps, old debris, and unclear property lines all have a way of becoming expensive if nobody talks about them up front. Phil and Sylvia help make sure those conversations happen early, not after the machine is already sitting in the yard.

OUR APPROACH

Practical, honest, matched to the property


We believe land clearing should be practical, honest, and matched to the property. Sometimes the right answer is forestry mulching. Sometimes it is selective clearing, trail cutting, fence line cleanup, stump work, raking, or a more finished lot-clearing approach. And sometimes the right answer is to tell a customer that a different contractor or service is a better fit.

A forestry mulcher is a powerful tool, but it is not a bulldozer, dump truck, survey crew, and miracle worker wearing tracks. We would rather explain the limits up front than overpromise and create a mess later.

When we look at a job, we consider access, terrain, wet areas, property lines, tree size, debris, drainage, and what the customer actually wants the land to become. The goal is not just to clear land. The goal is to help people use their land again.

WHAT CUSTOMERS NOTICE

The standard we are trying to build


Customers often tell us they appreciate the same things: clear communication, fair pricing, prompt scheduling, professional work, and a finished result that looks better than they expected.

That is the standard we are trying to build around. Not flashy. Not complicated. Just honest work, done carefully, with the property owner kept in the loop. You can read what customers actually said — we did not write those.

Whether we are clearing a wooded lot, opening up a trail, reclaiming a backyard, or cleaning up a fence line, we want the customer to feel like the job was handled the right way from the first conversation to the final pass.
