Lot & Land Clearing, Mulching & Gravel Driveways in Bentonville, AR
Bentonville is the Benton County seat and home to Walmart's headquarters and 350-acre home office. It's one of the fastest-growing cities in Arkansas, with 54,164 people in the 2020 Census, and it borders Rogers to the east, Bella Vista to the north, and Centerton to the west. That growth keeps wooded lots and acreage getting cleared for new homes and shops. Our Berryville base is about 51 miles east: US 62 west through Eureka Springs to Rogers, then Highways 12 and 102 into Bentonville, about an hour and a quarter each way. Land clearing in Bentonville, AR, fits us best on homesites and acreage, not small in-town yard work.
What's different about working in Bentonville
Grading permits start at one acre. Inside city limits, Bentonville requires a grading permit for grading, filling, excavation, or other land alteration on sites of one acre or more, unless the work is part of an approved plat or large-scale development. Permits are applied for online through the city's eTrakit system, and the permit cover page has to be posted where it can be seen from the street. The city also adopted a new Bentonville Community Code in 2026, so check current rules with the city before we schedule.
New builds need a way in first. Many Bentonville-area projects start as a lot or tract that has to be cleared, graded, and given a drive before a builder can begin. We work in order: clear, then access, then drainage, so trucks have a stable way in and water drains away from the pad.
Springs and soggy spots. Bentonville's Park Springs Park dates to the 1890s, when two springs were found there, and the plateau around town is full of springs and wet-weather seeps. Captina and Tonti soils nearby have a dense layer that holds water in spring. We plan drainage around where the water actually shows up.
Mulch instead of smoke. Near neighbors and new homes, a burn pile isn't welcome. Forestry mulching grinds brush and small trees in place, so on most jobs there's nothing to burn or haul.

Bentonville FAQ
Do I need a grading permit to clear my lot?
Inside Bentonville city limits, land alteration on sites of one acre or more needs a grading permit unless it's part of an approved plat or large-scale development. Check with the city's engineering staff for your site.
Can you clear the lot and build the drive before my builder starts?
Yes. Clearing, grading, drainage, and gravel access can be one coordinated project.
Will there be a burn pile?
Not on most mulching jobs. Brush is ground into mulch and left on-site.
How big a tree can you mulch?
Small to medium trees, typically up to 6 to 8 inches in diameter depending on the equipment, can be mulched or pulled. Bigger trees may need a different approach, and we'll tell you at the site visit.
