Residential Demolition
Houses, garages, barns and outbuildings brought down under control, loaded out and hauled off — the lot left clean and usable.

We handle demolition and dirt work in Gurdon, AR, the second-largest city in Clark County. Gurdon sits about 52 road miles south of our base in Hot Springs, a little over an hour's drive. In a straight line that is about 41 miles, inside the 50 mile radius we work. Every estimate in Gurdon is free, and we give it on site.
In Gurdon we take on house demolition and mobile home removal, with the debris hauled off. After a teardown, the lot may need excavation and dirt work or grading and site prep. On a wooded lot, lot clearing comes first, and our tracked excavators dig the stumps out.

Census estimates put the median year built for homes in Gurdon at 1976. About six in ten homes here were built before 1980, and the same estimates count 105 mobile homes. The town has also shrunk, from 2,707 people in the 1980 Census to 1,840 in 2020. That 2020 count found 949 housing units, and 21.4 percent of them stood vacant.
The rental vacancy rate in that count was 14.6 percent. In a town with that many empty houses, some reach the point where a teardown beats repair. Our teardown cost guide and mobile home demolition cost guide show what moves the price. Concrete removal can take out the old slab and piers in the same job.
Gurdon, incorporated in 1880, grew up at a rail junction with lines to Glenwood, Mount Ida, Camden and El Dorado. Timber companies opened mills in the area, and the count peaked at ten in the late nineteenth century. The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo, the international lumbermen's association, was founded here in 1892. Gurdon's school teams, the Go-Devils, share their name with logging equipment used to drag heavy logs.
Passenger service ended in 1968 and much of the track was removed, but the railroad still operates here. The 1917 Missouri Pacific Depot stands on North First Street. The town keeps a timber-based economy and serves as a bedroom community for people who work nearby. If a lot is grown up in timber, our land clearing cost guide breaks down per acre prices.
Gurdon sits at 203 feet of elevation in southern Clark County. The county spans two of Arkansas's natural regions, the Ouachita Mountains and the Gulf Coastal Plain. On Gurdon's low ground, the grade of a lot decides whether rain runs off or stands in the yard. We set driveway culverts and shape the grade so water moves off the pad and the drive.
U.S. 67 runs 15 miles northeast to Arkadelphia, the county seat, and 16 miles southwest to Prescott. Interstate 30 was built nearby, so our dump trucks reach Gurdon sites on main roads. Those trucks bring in fill dirt and gravel, delivered and spread, to raise a low pad. A gravel driveway can go down once the grade is set and the culvert is in.

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