Service Area
Hot Springs is home ground. Scott Bankhead has been tearing down houses, moving dirt and building retaining walls here since 1994 — through the old neighborhoods off Park Avenue, around Lake Hamilton, and up every hillside street where the houses sit close and the lots drop away fast. When something in this town needs to come down or the ground needs to change, this is the local call.
The work is the full path from problem to usable lot: residential demolition with haul-off included, excavation and dirt work, grading, lot clearing, gravel driveways and retaining walls — the specialty this terrain demands. Owner-operated, and estimates are free.

Hot Springs housing runs old — a tourist town with over a century of building stock, which means a steady supply of structures past saving: fire-damaged rentals, collapsing garages, lake cabins from the fifties that the new owner wants gone. Taking those down clean on tight in-town lots, with neighbors an arm's length away, is the exact skill 30 years of local demo builds.
It's also a town where the ground itself makes work. The hills that make Hot Springs pretty make flat ground scarce — so lots get carved, slopes get held back with walls, and every teardown ends with grading that decides whether the lot drains or ponds. One outfit that does the teardown AND the dirt is one mobilization, one number, one responsible party.
The service map covers all of it: the historic streets downtown, the neighborhoods out Airport Road and Highway 70, Lake Hamilton's shoreline where lake places get torn down and rebuilt bigger, and the communities that ring the city — Piney, Rockwell, Fountain Lake, Diamondhead. Three lakes inside fifteen miles means a lot of waterfront work, and lake lots are their own discipline: narrow access, real slopes, and no room for a sloppy operator.
One of Scott's lake teardowns — a whole house on Lake Ouachita — was filmed by drone from first bite to bare pad; you can watch it on the work page. That's the standard for the in-town work too: contained, methodical, hauled off, done. If your Hot Springs property needs something gone or ground moved, call (501) 617-1511 and the man who answers is the man who does it.
