Turnkey heavy excavator dirt work, concrete demolition & tear-out, complete driveway removal, precision laser grading, hauling & dirt removal, and compacted SB2 gravel driveways across Central Arkansas.
We provide heavy machine power, expert operators, and reliable hauling for residential, commercial, and rural acreage projects across Garland & Hot Spring Counties.
Complete site excavation, land clearing, tree and stump removal, foundation footing trenches, and hillside cut-and-fill pad preparation. Powered by rubber-tracked mini and midi excavators that deliver maximum power with low ground impact.
✓ Land Clearing • Footings • SwalesSurgical hydraulic breaker demolition of broken concrete driveways, old patios, failing shop slabs, and retaining walls. We fracture reinforced slabs quickly and safely without shaking foundations or damaging nearby structures.
✓ Hydraulic Breakers • Slabs • PatiosRapid haul-away of broken concrete rubble, old asphalt, unwanted red clay, and organic topsoil using our fleet of tandem dump trucks. We leave your property clean, raked, and free of construction debris.
✓ Tandem Dump Trucks • Clean Haul-OffTotal tear-out and removal of cracked, sunken, or tree-root damaged concrete and asphalt driveways. We dig out tree root balls, remediate spongy clay pockets, and prepare an engineered sub-base ready for a new repour or gravel surface.
✓ Full Tear-Out • Root Digging • PrepDual-slope optical rotary laser grading that shapes positive drainage contours, crowns the driveway center to shed storm water, eliminates washouts and potholes, and establishes the ideal slope foundation.
✓ Laser Precision • Crown Grading • SwalesInstallation of durable, washout-resistant SB2 crushed limestone or granite aggregate driveways. Spreading 4 to 8 inches of virgin stone, installing drainage culverts, and compacting with multi-ton vibratory rollers.
✓ SB2 Crushed Stone • Culverts • RollingEvery lasting concrete slab, foundation, or gravel driveway starts with proper earthwork. Uncompacted red clay, buried tree stumps, or incorrect slope grades cause catastrophic settling, cracking, and washout. Backed by 27+ years of heavy equipment mastery and Arkansas License #0300550824, A & P Concrete Construction handles complete tear-out, surgical demolition, dirt removal, precision laser grading, and aggregate base preparation.
| Engineering Parameter | A & P Concrete Construction Standard |
|---|---|
| Excavator Earthmoving & Clearing | Tracked mini and midi excavators clear timber, dig out stubborn root balls, strip organic loam, and shape hillside cut-and-fill building pads. |
| Hydraulic Breaker Demolition | High-impact hydraulic hammer attachments break old reinforced concrete slabs, foundations, patios, sidewalks, and rock without damaging adjacent structures. |
| Clean Debris Hauling & Disposal | Immediate loading into heavy tandem dump trucks and trailers; broken concrete is hauled to licensed aggregate recycling yards, leaving your jobsite clean. |
| Dirt Removal & Soil Remediation | Deep excavation of spongy clay, muck, and organic soil down to solid load-bearing ground, with optional geotextile separation underlayment. |
| Complete Driveway Removal | Full tear-out of failing concrete or asphalt driveways, subgrade excavation, compaction, and preparation for a new poured slab or SB2 gravel. |
| Dual-Slope Laser Grading & Crowning | Optical rotary laser grading controls slope fall to within 1/8-inch, shaping 1/2-inch per foot crowns and drainage ditches that shed torrential rainfall. |
| Compacted SB2 Gravel Driveways | Spreading and rolling 4 to 8 inches of virgin SB2 crushed stone aggregate, consolidated with heavy vibratory rollers into a hard-packed surface. |
Every tear-out and dirt project follows our rigorous engineering workflow to protect utilities, guarantee clean disposal, and build an unyielding foundation.
We evaluate property grades, calculate dirt cut/fill volumes, and coordinate Arkansas One-Call 811 to locate all underground gas, water, power, and fiber lines.
Using hydraulic breakers on rubber-tracked machines, we break existing concrete or asphalt into manageable rubble with zero vibration damage to your home.
Heavy tandem dump trucks haul away concrete rubble, scrap asphalt, and unwanted dirt spoil the same day, keeping driveways and neighborhood streets clean.
Rotary optical lasers guide our operators to cut high points, fill low spots, and shape positive downhill drainage angles to eliminate pooling water.
We excavate roadside drainage swales and set dual-wall HDPE or corrugated metal culvert pipes with rock riprap headwalls matching county standards.
Multi-ton vibratory rollers pack the subgrade to 95% density, followed by spreading crushed SB2 aggregate or setting forms for fresh 4000 PSI concrete.
Transparent pricing based on actual Hot Springs area project metrics. We provide 100% free on-site measurements and firm written quotes.

Detailed answers to common questions about excavation, demolition, dirt hauling, driveway grading, and gravel construction in Hot Springs and Central Arkansas.
Backed by 27+ years of experience and Arkansas License #0300550824, A & P Concrete Construction provides full-service excavation, land clearing, stump removal, concrete and asphalt tear-out, hydraulic breaker demolition, debris hauling, dirt removal and transport, complete driveway removal, laser-guided driveway grading, drainage culvert installation, building pad preparation, and compacted SB2 gravel driveways across Hot Springs and Central Arkansas.
Complete concrete tear-out and driveway removal typically costs between $1.75 and $4.00 per square foot depending on slab thickness (4" vs 6"), presence of steel rebar or wire mesh, steepness of the terrain, and accessibility for our heavy dump trucks and excavators. We provide 100% free on-site measurements and upfront written quotes.
We operate heavy-duty tandem dump trucks and equipment trailers. Old concrete and asphalt chunks are hauled directly to local aggregate recycling centers where they are crushed into reusable road base. Excavated dirt spoil is hauled away to approved sites or redistributed on your property to level low spots.
Water is the number one enemy of driveways in Arkansas. If the ground is not graded with an optical rotary laser, rainwater pools against the foundation or washes down the center of the driveway, carving deep ruts and causing concrete to heave or crack. We grade a 1/2-inch per foot center crown and cut side bar ditches to shed storm runoff immediately.
Yes! That is one of our greatest advantages. Instead of hiring an excavation subcontractor for demolition and hauling and a separate concrete contractor for the pour, A & P handles the entire project from initial hydraulic breaking to final non-slip broom finish. This saves you thousands of dollars, ensures seamless scheduling, and provides single-source accountability.
Yes. We excavate drainage swales and install 12-inch to 24-inch corrugated metal and dual-wall HDPE culvert pipes with rock riprap headwalls in accordance with Garland County Road Department and Arkansas Department of Transportation specifications.
Our fleet includes rubber-tracked mini and midi excavators equipped with quick-attach digging buckets and heavy hydraulic breaker hammers, high-flow skid steers with grading attachments, tandem dump trucks, and multi-ton vibratory drum rollers. Our rubber-tracked equipment minimizes turf damage while delivering commercial-grade digging power.
Yes! A & P Concrete Construction is fully licensed by the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board under Arkansas License #0300550824. We carry $2,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance and comprehensive worker's compensation coverage to protect your property and our crews.
