Fill Dirt, Gravel & Dump Truck Hauling in Hot Springs, AR

Hauling & Materials · Hot Springs, AR

Delivered, Spread and Hauled Off by Our Own Trucks

Fill dirt, gravel and dump truck hauling around Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Benton and the surrounding 50 miles run on the same trucks that serve every teardown we do. Hauling has always been part of the operation: material comes in, spoil and debris go out, and the job does not stall waiting on a hauler. That capacity is available on its own. If you need dirt, rock or topsoil delivered, or a pile of something gone, call the number on this page.

Delivery from us comes with a machine on the other end. A dump truck can leave a load at the end of your drive; we can also spread it, grade it and compact it, because the loader and the excavator ride along. That is the difference between buying material and getting a finished pad, drive or yard.

Haul-off works the same way in reverse. Demolition debris, excavation spoil, an old gravel drive, brush from lot clearing, root balls from stump removal, broken concrete from a slab removal: we load it and take it to the Garland County Landfill or the right recycling yard.

Fill Dirt, Topsoil and Gravel: Which One You Need

Fill dirt is the subsoil we use to raise grade, build pads and fill holes. It has little organic matter, so it compacts and stays put. Topsoil is the dark top layer that grows grass, and it belongs on the final six inches of a yard, never under a pad. Gravel does the structural work on driveways and parking areas. Ordering the wrong one is a common and expensive mistake.

We match the material to the job. A pad for a shop gets fill in compacted lifts. A low corner of a lawn gets fill under topsoil so the grass takes. A soft drive gets base rock before the finish gravel. If you tell us what the ground has to do when we leave, we bring the right load and place it where it works.

What a Dump Truck Load Covers

Material is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 100 square feet at three inches deep. A load of fill for a low spot goes further than people expect; a load of gravel on a long rural drive does not. We measure the area on the estimate visit so you order once. Spreading and compacting are quoted with the delivery, so the number covers finished ground.

Access matters for delivery the same way it matters for dirt work. A loaded dump truck needs a firm route in and room to turn or back. On tight Hot Springs lots and lake places down narrow drives, we sometimes stage the load and move it in with the loader. That gets planned before the truck shows up.

Debris Haul-Off and the Garland County Landfill

Demolition and construction debris in Garland County goes to the county landfill on Cedar Glades Road or through its transfer stations on Highway 70 West and Highway 7 North. Class 4 construction and demolition waste is charged by the ton, at 32 dollars a ton with a 15 dollar minimum for in-county loads as of 2025. Loads from outside the county pay more. Those fees are part of any haul-off quote we give.

Scrap metal goes to the landfill's recycling side at no charge, so we keep it separate from the load. We load with the excavator or the loader and cycle trucks so the pile leaves in one visit instead of three. Old sheds, a collapsed carport, a burn pile that never got burned, the spoil from a pool dig: if it fits in a dump truck, we can move it. Call (501) 617-1511 with a description and a photo and we will price the haul.

What You Can Expect

How a Job With Bankhead Runs

From the first look at the job to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.

1

Look at the Job

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.

2

The Quote

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.

3

Do the Work

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.

4

Leave It Clean

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.

How much does a load of fill dirt cost in Hot Springs?
It depends on the material, the distance from the pit to your property, and whether you want it spread and compacted. A dumped load costs less than a finished pad. We price it after seeing the site, so the quote includes placement if you want it. The estimate is free.
Is fill dirt cheaper than topsoil?
Yes, in most cases. Fill is unscreened subsoil and costs less per yard; topsoil is screened and holds organic matter, so it costs more. The usual mistake is paying for topsoil where fill would do, or building a pad out of topsoil that will settle. We help you order the right one.
How much area does one yard of fill or gravel cover?
About 100 square feet at three inches deep, or 50 square feet at six inches. A 20 by 40 foot pad raised six inches takes roughly 15 yards before compaction. We measure on the estimate visit and order with a margin so you are not short a half load.
Do you haul away construction and demolition debris?
Yes. We load and haul demolition debris, old fencing, sheds, concrete and excavation spoil to the Garland County Landfill or a recycling yard. Landfill fees are part of the quote. If the pile came from a teardown we did, hauling was already in the price.
Can you deliver gravel and spread it on my driveway?
Yes, and spreading is where the value is. A dumped pile at the road is a weekend of shoveling; a load spread and compacted with the loader is a finished drive. If the drive needs a regrade or a crown first, see our gravel driveway page. The truck and the machine come together.
How far will you deliver?
Across the 50 miles around Hot Springs, which includes the Village, Benton, Bryant, Malvern and the lake communities. Longer runs add trucking time to the price, and small loads far out sometimes make more sense batched with other work in that direction. Call and we will tell you what makes sense for your address.
