Dirt work done
before the concrete shows up.

Most pavement, foundation, and drainage problems start in the dirt. Soft spots, wrong slope, or water running the wrong way will beat up anything you pour or pave on top of it. We do the dirt work first so the job you are really after does not fail from underneath.

Arkansas dirt is a mixed bag. You have red clay that expands and shrinks, river bottom silt that pumps when wet, and rocky Ozark shelf that needs a different approach entirely. We shape, compact, and drain to the soil we are standing on, not a textbook.

How the job runs

• Walk the site, stake grades, talk through water flow.
• Strip vegetation, remove root mat and topsoil to firm ground.
• Cut high spots and haul off spoil, or stockpile if you want it.
• Bring in fill dirt or crushed stone as needed and work it in lifts.
• Compact in 6 to 8 inch lifts so the pad holds load.
• Shape swales, ditches, or French drains to route water off the site.
• Set culverts and aprons at driveways or road tie ins.
• Final grade to spec tolerance ready for concrete, stone, or asphalt.

We run dozers, skid steers, excavators, and rollers, and we partner with local dirt haulers and quarry yards for fill and stone. Most residential pad prep wraps in one to three days. Bigger commercial and subdivision work runs on the schedule we build with you.
