Land Clearing, Forestry Mulching & Gravel Driveways in Harrison, AR

Harrison is the Boone County seat and the largest town on our east side, with 13,069 residents in the 2020 Census. It was laid out along Crooked Creek at Stifler Springs, and today US 62, US 65, and US 412 all meet here. From Berryville it’s about 30 miles: east on US 62 through Green Forest and Alpena, then south on US 65 into town, roughly a 40 to 45 minute drive. That puts land clearing in Harrison, AR, and on the acreage around it well inside our regular service area. Most of the land work around Harrison happens just outside city limits: pasture going back to cedar, wooded homesites, shop pads, and gravel drives that need rebuilding.

What’s different about working in Harrison

The rock is named for this county. The cherty limestone under much of our region is called the Boone Formation because geologists first described it here in Boone County. Chert near the surface packs into a firm base under a pad, but it also means every grading plan has to account for rock.

Crooked Creek sets the low ground. Crooked Creek runs just south of downtown. On May 7, 1961, heavy rain sent it over the town square and across much of southwest Harrison. If your lot or acreage sits near the creek or one of its branches, find out whether it’s in a mapped floodplain before any fill or grading. Then we plan drainage so the water leaves your land without landing on a neighbor’s.

Shallow soil on the hillsides. Much of the hill ground around Harrison is Moko and Arkana soil in the USDA survey: thin, clayey soil over limestone, with rock outcrops on the steeper sides. A driveway that climbs one of those slopes needs its water turned off early and often, or the gravel ends up in the ditch.

Highway frontage is common. With three US highways meeting in Harrison, many rural tracts front a state highway instead of a county road. A new driveway connection onto a state highway usually goes through the Arkansas Department of Transportation, so get that permit started before we build the entrance.

Scheduling and site visits

Harrison is close enough that an on-site quote is easy to set up. Call or text (870) 350-4046, and leave a voicemail or a detailed text if we miss you. Photos of the driveway, the brush line, and any spots that stay wet help us bring the right equipment. Late fall through early spring is the best season for clearing, and grading on clay waits for the ground to dry. Any digging needs an Arkansas 811 locate first, with at least two full working days’ notice.

Harrison FAQ

Do you work inside Harrison city limits or only in the county?

Both. Inside the city, check with the City of Harrison about permits for your project before we schedule. Out in the county, most clearing and pasture work doesn’t need a city permit.

My land borders Crooked Creek. Can you grade near it?

Often, yes. First find out whether the area is in a mapped floodplain by asking the city or county. Then we plan the grading and drainage around it.

Can you clear a homesite and build the driveway in one job?

Yes. Clearing, pad grading, drainage, and gravel can be one coordinated project, so the builder has a way in from day one.

Mulching or bulldozing for my acreage?

Mulching keeps the topsoil in place and leaves organic matter on the ground, usually with no burn pile or hauling. Bulldozing pushes and piles material and leaves more cleanup. We’ll recommend one after walking the land.

How far out from Harrison do you go?

All of Boone County, from Alpena and Bergman to Omaha, Valley Springs, and the Bull Shoals Lake side near Lead Hill and Diamond City.
