Land Clearing, Forestry Mulching & Gravel Driveways in Rogers, AR
Rogers is the most populous city in Benton County, with 69,908 people in the 2020 Census, and the site of the first Walmart store. It's also the city closest to most of Beaver Lake. From our Berryville base, Rogers is about 46 miles west on US 62, the same highway that follows the north and west sides of the lake on the way into town. Plan on a bit over an hour each way. The work that makes that drive worthwhile is on acreage and lake-area land east of the city: land clearing in Rogers, AR, forestry mulching, drainage, and gravel drives on sloped, wooded property.
What's different about working in Rogers
The lake shore is federal land. Beaver Lake has about 487 miles of shoreline, and most of it is Corps of Engineers land between private lots and the water. Mowing, underbrushing, or cutting trees there requires a Shoreline Use Permit. Even permitted work is limited to hand tools and riding mowers, trees over 2 inches at ground level can't be removed, and mowing is limited to 100 feet from a home. We don't take machines onto Corps land. We clear and grade your property up to the government line.
It's the region's drinking water. Beaver Lake supplies drinking water to more than 450,000 customers through Beaver Water District, about one in seven Arkansans. On lake-area slopes, keeping soil out of the water matters. Forestry mulching leaves a protective layer instead of bare dirt, and good grading keeps runoff from cutting new gullies.
Chert in the ground. Clarksville and Nixa soils, the two biggest soils in Benton County's USDA survey, cover most of the hills around Rogers. They're full of chert, which slows digging but makes a firm base once it's graded and compacted.
County and city rules differ. Inside city limits, Rogers' development rules apply. Out in the county, a new drive onto a county road needs a free Benton County Road Department driveway permit before it's built.

Rogers FAQ
Can you clear brush down to the water at Beaver Lake?
Not on Corps of Engineers land. Machines aren't allowed there, and any vegetation work needs a Corps permit. We work up to your property line.
How do I know where my property line is?
A survey is the surest way. We'll work to the line you show us, and we won't guess at a Corps boundary.
Can you fix a steep driveway on a lake lot?
Usually. Most steep drives fail because water runs down the gravel. Regrading, crown, ditches or culverts, and a compacted base fix the cause.
Do I need a permit for a new driveway outside the city?
If it ties into a county road, Benton County requires a no-fee driveway permit before construction. State highways go through ARDOT.
What sets the price on a lake-area job?
Slope, how thick the brush is, how much water has to be managed, and how easy it is to get a machine in. We walk the property and give you a free quote on-site.
