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

We take on demolition and dirt work in Mount Ida, AR, the Montgomery County seat. It lies about 36 road miles west of Hot Springs, our home base, and the drive takes roughly 45 minutes. The town sits near the center of the Ouachita National Forest, with Lake Ouachita nearby. Estimates in Mount Ida are free and done on site.
Around Mount Ida we handle house and cabin teardowns and mobile home removal, with the debris hauled off. After a teardown, the ground may need lot clearing, excavation and dirt work, or grading for a new pad. Our tracked excavators and dump trucks handle the work on the hills and lake lots around town.

Mount Ida, billed as the Quartz Crystal Capital of the World, hosts the World Championship Quartz Crystal Dig each year. Under a layer of topsoil, the land around town holds countless tons of clear quartz crystal. Exploration proved crystal veins run at any depth in the right rock type. A trench or a footing here can run into rock, so we size up the ground at the free estimate.
Montgomery County is noted for the rugged Ouachita Mountains. The Little Missouri River drops thirty-five feet per mile through the south end of the county. On a sloped lot, driveway culverts and grading decide where the rain goes, and retaining walls hold the cuts. We build large block walls and set culverts so pads and drives stay put.
Lake Ouachita, the state's largest lake, was created in the early 1950s. The Army Corps of Engineers built Blakely Mountain Dam from 1948 to 1953 to form it. Census estimates now count 954 homes in Montgomery County held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use. When an old lake place is past saving, a teardown clears the lot for the next build.
A lake lot can border Corps project land, and federal rules cover that ground. Cutting trees or removing wood there takes written permission from the District Commander. Cutting or pruning plants on Corps shoreline needs a Shoreline Use Permit, and only some shoreline areas allow it. Sixty-three percent of the county became national forest land, so know where your line runs before any clearing starts.
Mount Ida had 996 residents in the 2020 Census, and all of Montgomery County had 8,484. The same Census estimates count 5,485 housing units in the county, and 1,549 of them are mobile homes. That is more than one home in four, and half the county's housing dates to 1989 or earlier.
When a single-wide or double-wide is past fixing, we tear it down and haul it off, and our mobile home demolition cost guide shows what moves the price. The old concrete pad and piers can come out in the same job, and we grade the lot clean. A gravel driveway can follow for the next home. For a site-built house, our teardown cost guide covers the numbers.
