Excavation & Land Clearing FAQs in Central Arkansas

Typically in Central Arkansas, you can expect anywhere from $2,500 an acre upwards of $5,000 an acre. A lot can come into play when it comes to clearing land such as, land topography, overgrowth density, tree size, stump removal, and are we going have it hauled off or can we burn on site, etc...

Yes, photos and a short description help a lot.

If  you want to text me:

• Wide shots of the problem area or a video

• A quick note about what happens when it rains

• Rough size (for example: “about 60’ of driveway,” “20x30 pad,” “backyard holds water along the fence”).

From that, I can usually give you a ballpark range so you know if it’s a $1–2k problem or a much bigger project. I’ll still need to come out and put eyes on it before I lock in a final number, but it keeps you from wasting time if it’s way outside your budget.

Call a local excavation contractor who specializes in pond excavation and grading. A good pond builder will handle the dig, shape the basin, build and compact the dam (if needed), and install a proper overflow/spillway so it holds water and drains safely. In Arkansas, permits or site rules can apply depending on location and runoff, so it’s smart to hire someone who understands drainage and soil conditions.

If you’re in Central Arkansas and want a pond dug right the first time, Hyslip Excavation can look at your site and give you a clear plan and quote.

Price can vary on the severity of the problem. Typically a leaking levee is a quick fix, we locate the leak, dig a trench down below the area, use bentonite sheets or bentonite granular pellets to patch it, and then back fill the trench, compacting in 6-8" lifts. It can be a quick super simple fix. Best way to prevent this form happening is keeping the pond banks and levees clear of overgrowth and saplings. 

The best drainage fix depends on your property. We often recommend regrading slopes, extending downspouts, or installing French drains.
