Our Services
Grading and site prep around Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Benton and the surrounding 50 miles is the work between raw ground and a build you won't regret. We cut and fill lots to grade, build pads that hold, and shape ground so water goes around your project instead of through it. For 30 years, local contractors have had Scott prep lots for new houses — the builders keep calling because the pads are right.
Site prep is the cheapest insurance in construction: every problem you grade out of a lot now is a problem the slab, the framing and the yard never inherit. And on Hot Springs terrain — hillsides, rock, runoff with an attitude — the grade is the difference between a dry pad and a wet one. Often paired with lot clearing ahead of it and a gravel drive behind it.

A proper pad isn't just flat — it's flat in the right place, built from the right material, compacted so it stays where it was put, and set so water runs away from it in every direction it matters. That last one is the big one around here. Hot Springs sits on hills; rain moves fast and finds every lazy grade in the county. We shape the ground so the water argument is settled before the first form board shows up.
The same standard applies whether the pad is for a new house, a shop, a carport or a manufactured home: read the lot, cut what's high, fill what's low with material that compacts, and leave grades the next trade can build on without cussing us. Builders around Hot Springs have been putting houses on Bankhead-prepped lots for three decades — that's the reference that matters.
A lot of site prep jobs land on us as a package: the lot needs clearing, maybe there's an old structure that needs tearing down, and then the ground needs to be cut to a buildable grade. Running all of it as one job is faster and cheaper than hiring it in pieces — one mobilization, one operator who knows the plan, one number.
It also means nothing gets lost in the handoffs. The stumps don't get buried where the pad is going (you'd be amazed), the fill goes in compacted lifts instead of one optimistic dump, and the finished grade matches what the builder actually needs — because Scott talked to you, walked the lot, and did the work himself instead of relaying it through three layers of crew.
Site prep isn't only for construction. Plenty of our grading work is fixing ground people already live on: the back yard that holds water for a week after every rain, the slope that's been creeping toward the house, the lot next door you bought and want mowable, the ruts left behind by somebody else's project.
Those jobs get the same treatment as a build pad — figure out where the water needs to go, move the dirt so it goes there, and leave a surface you can actually use. If the fix needs more than grading — a retaining wall to hold a slope, or fill hauled in through our dirt work side — you'll get the whole answer up front, priced from a free look at the property.
Free, no-obligation estimates across Hot Springs & the surrounding 50 miles.
(501) 617-1511From the first look at the job to the final walk-through, here is exactly how it goes.
Scott comes and sees the actual job — the structure, the ground, the access, what stays and what goes. Thirty years of demo means a fast, honest read on what the work really involves. No blind quotes over the phone.
You get a free quote with a real number and a real timeline. It covers the teardown, the loading, the hauling and the cleanup — so the price you hear is the price for a finished job, not just the fun part.
Machines show up when we said they would. The structure comes down under control, trucks cycle the debris out, and the site stays contained — there's a method to the madness, and 30 years of it shows.
The job isn't done at the last bite of the excavator. Debris hauled off, ground graded out, and a lot you can actually use — ready to build on, park on, or just mow. Done means you'd never know the mess was there.

View DetailsScott has run demolition around Hot Springs since 1994 — up to a 200,000 sq ft high school in five weeks. Everybody thinks demo is easy work; thirty years is why it looks that way.
No rotating crew, no telephone game. The man who walks your property and quotes the job is the man in the excavator doing it — and contract trucks keep the debris moving out.
Free estimates from looking at the actual job. The number covers the finished state — teardown, loading, hauling, cleanup — not just the part before the mess.
Hillsides, lake lots, tight in-town streets — Hot Springs ground is its own animal. Local since 1994, from the lakes to the county lines, and the work respects the terrain.
A house that needs to come down, a lot that needs clearing, a slope that needs a wall? Call or send the form and Scott will look at the job with you and give you a free, straight number — teardown through cleanup, one outfit.
