Concrete for Little River and Longs — the north county's growth corner
Little River grew 31 percent in a decade and Longs is filling in along SC 9 and 905. New subdivisions mean first driveways and pads; the waterfront means marsh-edge rules; the roads are mostly SCDOT's and the county's.
Little River is the old fishing village at the North Carolina line — the waterfront, the casino boats, the live oaks on Mineola Avenue — and the fastest-growing part of the north county, up 31 percent between 2010 and 2020 to 11,711 people in new subdivisions along SC 9, SC 90, Highway 17 and the Cherry Grove side. Longs, inland along SC 9 and 905, is 9,523 people and climbing, rural five years ago and suburban now. It's all unincorporated Horry County: the county's rules for permits and stormwater, the county's free encroachment permit on county streets, and SCDOT's permit on 9, 90, 17 and 905, which carry most of the traffic. The marsh and the Waterway put Little River's waterfront streets in flood zones; the inland subdivisions are on the Strand's sandy flats and, toward Longs, the county's wetter inland soils.
New subdivisions are the work: first driveways and aprons on the new streets, patios and screened-porch slabs behind houses sold with bare yards, shed and generator pads, golf cart pads for the Eagle Nest and Cherry Grove-side cart neighborhoods, and boat pads for the households that launch at Little River's ramps. On the older waterfront streets it's raised-house slabs and the marsh-edge care the flood zones and OCRM's line require. On every county road it's the apron and the ditch: pipe sized for the ditch, end sections poured, the permit filed with 72 hours' notice.

Questions from Little River & Longs homeowners
My new house has no patio. Can you add one?
That's half our Little River calls. A broom-finish or stamped patio off the back door, graded away from the house, with the HOA's drawing — most builders leave the back yard bare and the committee expects to see a plan.
Who permits my apron on SC 90?
SCDOT — 9, 90, 17 and 905 are state routes. The permit is free, filed online, and the apron is built to the state's spec. On the subdivision streets it's the county's free encroachment permit.
Is Little River's waterfront in a flood zone?
The streets along the Waterway and the marsh are AE zones and some VE; the subdivisions inland mostly aren't. Flatwork is fine either way; foundations and fill follow the zone.
Do you cover Longs?
Yes — Longs and the SC 9 and 905 corridor are part of our regular north-county route, along with Loris.
