Full pond construction from site evaluation to final shaping

Rough grading

Shaping the land to direct water away from structures and set up drainage correctly from day one.

Back fill and compaction matter the most when it comes to excavation. Without backfilling properly you can end up with more problems than the ones you were looking to solve

Excavation Questions We Hear All the Time

How much does excavation cost in Little Rock, AR?

Excavation pricing depends on the size of the job, soil conditions, and what needs to happen with the spoil material. Most residential jobs in Central Arkansas run anywhere from $1,500 to $15,000+. The only way to know what your job costs is to get a site-specific estimate — which we'll have back to you within 24–48 hours.

Are you licensed and insured in Arkansas?

Yes. Hyslip Excavation LLC is licensed and insured in the state of Arkansas. We carry full liability coverage on every job.

Do I need a permit for excavation work in Arkansas?

For most residential site prep and grading, permits aren't required — but larger commercial projects or work near utility easements may need permits or 811 locates. We'll walk you through what's needed for your specific job before we start.

Do you work with general contractors and homebuilders on new construction in Central Arkansas?

Yes! If you're a general contractor, looking for a sub to show up on time, communicate clearly, and not blow up your schedule. We are the guys to call. When we say site prep we mean the full site prep scope, that means clearing, dirt work, foundation, and concrete. We've worked on residential new construction, lot development, and commercial site prep across Little Rock, Jacksonville, Cabot, Sherwood, and surrounding areas. If you want a reliable excavation/concrete contractor in your subcontractor rotation, call us at 501-680-1078.

How long does excavation take?

A typical house pad excavation takes one to three days depending on size and soil conditions. We'll give you a clear timeline in your estimate so you can coordinate your other contractors without guessing.

What's the difference between excavation, grading, and site preparation, and which one do I actually need?

Most people use these interchangeably, but they're different phases of the same process. Excavation is the actual removal of earth, digging out an old culvert, cutting into a hillside, or trenching for utilities. Grading is shaping the dirt so water drains correctly and the surface is at the right elevation for your projects needs. Site preparation is the full scope: clearing, excavation, and grading. 

If you're not sure which phase you need, call us at 501-680-1078 and describe the project.
