Questions About Demolition or Dirt Work? Plain Answers.
These are the questions Hot Springs-area property owners ask us most:
what we handle, what things cost, what happens to the debris, and how
to get started. Don't see yours? Call and ask.
We're based in Hot Springs and work about a 50-mile radius around it: Hot Springs Village, Royal, Pearcy, Mountain Pine, Jessieville, Malvern, Benton and Bryant, and out toward Glenwood, Mount Ida and Arkadelphia. If you're anywhere around Garland County and not sure you're in range, call — the answer is usually yes.
What services do you offer?
Demolition and dirt work, start to finish. We tear down houses, garages, barns, outbuildings and mobile homes and haul off the debris, then handle what comes next: excavation and dirt work, grading and pad building, lot clearing for new builds, gravel driveways, drainage and driveway culverts, fill dirt and gravel delivery, concrete removal, and retaining walls, a Bankhead specialty for decades.
Do you do residential or commercial work?
The schedule is built around residential work — homeowners, lake places, and lots being cleared for new houses. We have taken on major commercial demolition, including a 200,000 square foot Hot Springs high school brought down in five weeks, so a big garage or an old barn isn't going to scare anybody. If you have a commercial job in mind, call and we'll talk it through.
Who actually shows up to do the work?
Our own machines and crew, with contract trucks and drivers handling the hauling. The company that looks at your job and quotes it is the company that does it, start to finish.
How do estimates work?
They're free, and they happen at the job, not over the phone. Demolition and dirt prices live in details you can't see from a phone call — what the structure is made of, access for machines and trucks, how much has to be hauled and how far. We come look, then give you a number.
What happens to all the debris?
It leaves. Loading and haul-off are part of the job — trucks are part of the operation, not a separate contractor you have to find. When we're done, you have a clean lot or a build-ready pad, not a rubble pile.
Do I need a permit to tear down a house?
Usually there's paperwork, and it varies by city and county — Hot Springs, the Village, Benton and the county each run it their own way. Ask when you call and we'll tell you what applies to your address and what has to happen with utilities before a teardown.
How do I get started?
