One Company for Danville Demolition and Dirt Work

We bring demolition and dirt work to Danville, AR, one of two Yell County seats alongside Dardanelle. Yell County borders Garland County, and Danville sits about 64 road miles from our base in Hot Springs. The drive takes about 80 minutes, north on AR 7 and then west on AR 10. In a straight line that is about 42 miles, near the north edge of the area we serve.

In Danville we offer house demolition and mobile home removal, and our dump trucks haul the debris away. From the Petit Jean River bottoms to the mountain slopes, our tracked excavators do the excavation and dirt work. Danville sits near the center of Yell County, where Highways 80, 10 and 27 converge.

When were most homes in Danville built?

Census estimates put Danville at 910 housing units, with a median year built of 1983. More than four in ten of those homes were built before 1980. The same estimates count 58 mobile homes and 127 vacant units, so about one home in seven stands vacant. The town had 2,028 residents in the 2020 Census, out of 20,263 in all of Yell County.

When one of those vacant houses or older single-wides is beyond repair, a teardown frees the lot. Our house teardown cost guide and our guide to mobile home demolition costs show what moves the price. The old slab and footings can come out in the same job with concrete removal.

How do the Petit Jean River and the mountains shape dirt work in Danville?

Danville lies in the Arkansas Valley natural division, on the south side of the Petit Jean River. A 100-foot bridge over the river went up at Danville in 1879. The area has so many creeks that they once powered numerous water mills around town. When a drive crosses a ditch or a wet draw, we set a driveway culvert to carry the water.

South of town rise the Fourche Mountains, a part of the Ouachita Mountains. Danville Mountain and Dutch Creek Mountain belong to the Ouachita National Forest, which keeps its Fourche office in town. The Petit Jean Wildlife Management Area lies just west of the city. If your land borders the national forest or the wildlife area, find your property line before clearing starts.

What goes into a new home site near Danville?

Yell County has a forest products and lumber industry, plus poultry, row crops and livestock. A $43 million feed mill opened in Danville in 2025. On a wooded tract, lot clearing is the first step toward a pad and a drive. For stump removal, a tracked excavator digs each stump out, and we haul it off and backfill the hole.

Grading and site prep then sets the house pad, and a gravel driveway runs to the road. A new home needs an address, and the Yell County website links a 911 address request form. Burning brush is the landowner's call, so check the Yell County website for a burn ban first.

Danville FAQ

Questions From Danville Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Danville. Don't see yours? Call us and ask.

Call (501) 617-1511

Who do I ask about a demolition permit in Danville?
Ask Danville City Hall before any building inside the city limits comes down. State law also calls for contacting Arkansas 811 before any digging or demolishing work. Each member utility then has two full working days from the request to locate its lines.
Does an older Danville house need an asbestos inspection before demolition?
It depends on the building. The state asbestos rule leaves out residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units, with some exceptions. A building the rule covers needs an inspection by an Arkansas-certified asbestos inspector, and DEQ needs written notice at least ten working days before the demolition, even if no asbestos is present.
Is there a county compactor station in Danville?
Yes, Yell County runs a compactor station in Danville, open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It also opens Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and stays closed on Sunday. Call the station at 479-495-2579 to ask what it accepts before you haul a load there. For teardown debris, our dump truck hauling takes the load off your site.
Do you work in Ola, Belleville, Plainview and the other towns near Danville?
Yes. Corinth and Belleville sit about 2 and 4 miles northwest of Danville and Havana about 9 miles northwest. Plainview and Rover are about 7 miles southeast and south, and Ola and Centerville about 10 and 13 miles east. A free on-site estimate in any of those towns starts with a call to (501) 617-1511.
