We handle demolition and dirt work in Perryville, AR, the seat of Perry County. Perry County borders Garland County, and Perryville sits about 52 road miles north of our base in Hot Springs.

Around Perryville we take on house demolition and mobile home removal, with the debris hauled off. The town sits in the Fourche River valley at the base of the Ouachita National Forest.

How old are the homes in Perryville?

Census estimates count 667 housing units in Perryville, and the median year built is 1982. Nearly half of those homes were built before 1980. About one home in seven is a mobile home. The same estimates list 91 housing units as vacant.

With that much older stock, some empty houses and worn single-wides 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 takes out the old slab and piers in the same job.

How does the Fourche La Fave River shape dirt work in Perryville?

Perryville was first located north of the forks on the Fourche La Fave River. The river's seasonal flooding isolated parts of the county, and Nimrod Dam was built to help control it. The first bridge across the Fourche La Fave at Perryville went up in 1901. A newer bridge was dedicated on April 11, 1940, after the road bed was raised above flood stage.

The town sits between mountains to its north and south. River-bottom soil in Perry County is rich alluvium, and the uplands have loam over a clay foundation. The Perry County Courthouse, built in 1888, used bricks hand-made from Perry County clay. On river bottom or upland, we set driveway culverts and shape the grade so rain moves off the pad.

What does land clearing near Perryville involve?

Perry County has more than 287,000 acres of woodlands. The local economy was built largely on agriculture and timber, and pine cropping bolsters it. On a wooded lot near Perryville, lot clearing comes before any pad or drive. Our tracked excavators dig the stumps out for stump removal, and we backfill each hole.

Clearing 1 acre or more but less than 5 acres gets automatic coverage under DEQ's construction stormwater permit. DEQ says to post a Notice of Coverage and a stormwater plan at the site before work begins. Our land clearing cost guide breaks down per acre prices. Once the lot is clear, a gravel driveway can go in.

Perryville FAQ

Questions From Perryville Property Owners

A few of the questions we hear most around Perryville. Don't see yours? Call us and ask.

Call (501) 617-1511

Do I need a permit to tear down a house in Perryville?
Check with City Hall before you tear down a building inside Perryville city limits. Arkansas law also requires contact with Arkansas 811 before any digging or demolishing work. Member utilities have two full working days from the request to locate their lines. Plan the start date of a Perryville teardown around that window.
Does a teardown in Perryville need an asbestos inspection?
Not always, since Arkansas excludes certain residential structures from its asbestos inspection rule. The rule leaves out residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units, with some exceptions. A covered building needs an inspection by an asbestos inspector certified in Arkansas. Its demolition also needs written notice to DEQ at least ten working days ahead, even if no asbestos is present.
Is there a county transfer station in Perryville?
Yes, Perry County runs a transfer station at 325 Recreation Drive, and DEQ lists it as active. Each load gets a ticket that shows the date, name, class of solid waste and fees charged. White goods and scrap metal are pulled out and put in a recycling container. Our dump truck hauling takes teardown debris off your site.
Do you work in Perry, Houston, Bigelow and the other towns near Perryville?
Yes, Perry sits a few miles north of Perryville, and Adona is about 6 miles northwest. Houston is about 6 miles east, with Bigelow and Fourche about 10 miles east. Aplin and Casa lie about 10 and 14 miles west, and all of them sit inside our 50 mile radius. Call (501) 617-1511 for a free on-site estimate in any of them.
