Gravel Driveways
New gravel drives cut and built, tired ones regraded and topped, parking pads that hold — shaped so the rain runs off instead of through.

Drainage and driveway culverts around Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Benton and the surrounding 50 miles are dirt work first. Hot Springs gets close to 58 inches of rain in a normal year, with May the wettest month, and most of it lands on slopes of rock and clay. Water that has nowhere to go ends up in your driveway, your crawl space or your neighbor's yard. We fix that with grade, pipe and gravel: driveway culverts, French drain installation, yard regrading and erosion control.
Most drainage calls start with a symptom. The drive washes out every spring. The back yard stays soft for a week after a storm. A ditch keeps eating the edge of the road. The fix is usually a combination: reshape the ground so water sheds, give it a pipe or a trench where it has to cross something, and armor the spots that keep washing. We look at where the water comes from before we decide what to build.
This page covers the water side of the work. It pairs with grading for yards that hold water, gravel driveways that need a culvert at the road, and retaining walls that need drainage behind the blocks.

A driveway that crosses a roadside ditch needs a culvert, and the size and placement are not a guess. In Garland County, anyone building a driveway access on a county or state right-of-way has to call the road department first. The Garland County Road Department (501-767-9174) covers county roads, and the state highway department covers state routes. We build to whatever they specify: pipe size, depth, cover and end treatment.
The install itself is excavation work. We cut the ditch line, set the pipe on a bed that will not settle, backfill in compacted lifts, and build the drive over it with enough cover to carry a loaded truck. A crushed or undersized pipe is the reason so many rural drives flood at the road. Replacing one is a short job on most properties, and it fixes the problem for good.
A French drain is a gravel trench with a perforated pipe at the bottom, sloped to carry groundwater away from where it collects. It is the right tool for a yard that stays wet, a crawl space that takes on water, or a low spot against a foundation. We dig the trench to fall, wrap the pipe, and run it to daylight or a drain field where the water can leave.
Plenty of wet yards do not need a pipe at all. They need grade. A lawn that tilts toward the house, a hump that traps runoff, a buried old driveway that holds water like a pan: those get fixed with a regrade and a swale. We tell you which one your yard needs after we see it, and the quote covers the version that will actually work.
Hillside lots around Lake Hamilton and up Highway 7 lose dirt every storm if the water is not managed. Cut slopes, ditch banks and the downhill edge of a gravel drive are where it shows first. We slow the water down with grade, spread it with swales, and armor the places that keep cutting with rock and riprap. On a lake lot, that is often the difference between a yard and a gully.
Drainage also decides whether a retaining wall lives or dies. Every wall we build gets drainage behind it, and a failing wall usually traces back to water that never had an exit. If your slope is creeping or your wall is leaning, the fix starts with where the water goes. Call (501) 617-1511 and we will look at the whole hillside before we quote anything.

(501) 617-1511From the first look at the job to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
We come and see the actual job: the structure, the ground, the access, what stays and what goes. Thirty years of demolition experience means a fast read on what the work really involves. No blind quotes over the phone.
You get a free quote with a real number and a real timeline. It covers the teardown, the loading, the hauling and the cleanup — so the price you hear is the price for a finished job, not just the fun part.
Machines show up when we said they would. The structure comes down under control, trucks cycle the debris out, and the site stays contained — there's a method to the madness, and 30 years of it shows.
The job isn't done at the last bite of the excavator. Debris hauled off, ground graded out, and a lot you can actually use — ready to build on, park on, or just mow. Done means you'd never know the mess was there.
