Four kinds of ground meet in Central Arkansas

Four of Arkansas's seven Level III ecoregions meet here, and Pulaski County has towns on all four. Each one has its own rock, its own soil, and its own natural cover.

Pine ridges run through Little Rock, hills and old prairie run north toward Conway, pine plantations run south through Saline and Grant counties, and flat rice ground opens up east around Lonoke.

  1. Arkansas Valley

    Level III ecoregion 37, 21 towns

    North and west of Little Rock, the ground is hills and plains of sandstone and shale. The hills carry oak, hickory, and pine. The plains were once a mix of prairie, savanna, and woodland, and much of the gentler upland is now cleared for pasture and hay. Along the Arkansas River near Roland, the bottoms grew sycamore, sweetgum, willow, cottonwood, and bottomland oaks.

    Towns hereAdona, Bigelow, Casa, Center Ridge, Cleveland, Conway, Damascus, Enola, Greenbrier, Guy, Hattieville, Jerusalem, Menifee, Morrilton, Mount Vernon, Plumerville, Roland, Solgohachia, Springfield, Vilonia, and Wooster

  2. Ouachita Mountains

    Level III ecoregion 36, 18 towns

    Little Rock, Sherwood, Jacksonville, Maumelle, and Cabot sit in the Fourche Mountains: long east-west ridges of sandstone, forested, with valleys cut into shale. The natural cover is oak, hickory, and pine, and loblolly and shortleaf pine grow across the Ouachitas today. Around Salem and Paron, the hills run lower and more open.

    Towns hereAustin, Cabot, Cammack Village, Chenal, Houston, Jacksonville, Little Rock, Little Rock Air Force Base, Maumelle, Mayflower, Paron, Perry, Perryville, Pleasant Valley, Rock Creek, Salem, Sherwood, and Woodland Edge

  3. South Central Plains

    Level III ecoregion 35, 15 towns

    South of Little Rock, through Saline and Grant counties, uplands of loose sand, silt, and gravel grow loblolly and shortleaf pine. Commercial pine plantations have replaced much of the native oak, hickory, and pine forest. Near Poyen and Prattsville, the terraces are nearly level, poorly drained, and periodically wet, under pine flatwoods.

    Towns hereAlexander, Bauxite, Benton, Bryant, College Station, Grapevine, Hensley, Leola, Mabelvale, Poyen, Prattsville, Sheridan, Traskwood, Woodson, and Wrightsville

  4. Mississippi Alluvial Plain

    Level III ecoregion 73, 8 towns

    East toward Lonoke County, the land goes flat. The Grand Prairie around Lonoke, Ward, and Carlisle is a terrace of windblown silt (loess) that was once Arkansas's largest prairie; its soils drain slowly, and rice is the main crop today. Near England, Keo, Humnoke, and Scott, the Arkansas River backswamps hold marshes, sloughs, and oxbow lakes among willow oak and water oak. In North Little Rock, old river channels hold heavy, poorly drained clay.

What the ground changes on your job

Wet, flat ground

The Grand Prairie, the river backswamps, and the pine flatwoods near Poyen are slow to drain. If the ground is too wet to work without rutting, we tell you and reschedule. Any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.

Drainage: U.S. EPA, Ecoregions of Arkansas, 2004
What grows back

Eastern redcedar does not sprout after complete cutting. Hardwood brush is harder: persimmon is one of the more difficult brush species to control, and a cut stump takes herbicide best within a few hours of the cut. Before we quote, we tell you what the ground will look like the day we leave and what it will need afterwards to keep the brush from coming back.

Arkansas rules that can touch clearing in these seven counties

On the first visit we tell you which Arkansas rules may touch your job (burn bans, the 1-acre stormwater permit, septic permits) and who handles each.

  1. Burn bans

    Each of the seven county judges declares burn bans for their own county, so a ban can be on in Saline County and off in Faulkner. The Arkansas Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division shows every county's status on its wildfire danger and burn ban map.Source: Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division

  2. Stormwater

    Arkansas DEQ's construction stormwater permit, ARR150000, covers clearing, grading, and excavation that disturb 1 acre or more. Sites of 1 to under 5 acres are covered automatically but post a notice and keep a stormwater plan. At 5 acres or more, a Notice of Intent goes in first.Source: Arkansas DEQ, construction stormwater permits, ARR150000 renewal effective November 1, 2026

  3. Wetlands

    Mechanized land clearing in a wetland can need U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Arkansas DEQ sends wetland questions to the Corps.Source: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Section 404; Arkansas DEQ, NPDES questions

We have the equipment for any land clearing or earth-moving job, from a cedar fence line to a building pad.

We had hired them to do some forestry mulching around Conway. They did a superb job and the crew completed the job on time. Thank you!

Central Arkansas land clearing questions

What landowners from Conway to Sheridan ask before they hire a clearing crew.

Which line should I call for land clearing in Central Arkansas?

Any of our three lines reaches the same crew. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service's Hot Springs listing is the nearest to Little Rock, 33 miles away, and its line is (501) 547-8816. Every call or text gets a call back the same working day, from the person running your job.

Do I need a permit to clear land in Central Arkansas?

Only for some jobs. Arkansas DEQ's ARR150000 stormwater permit covers clearing that disturbs 1 acre or more, and mechanized clearing in a wetland can need U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approval. On the first visit, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you which Arkansas rules may touch your job and who handles each.

Will a cedar tree grow back after being cut down?

No. The USDA Forest Service says eastern redcedar does not sprout after complete cutting. Hardwood brush is harder, and the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture calls persimmon one of the more difficult brush species to control. Before we quote, Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you what the ground will need afterwards.

Can you clear land around Lonoke when the ground is wet?

Not when it's too wet to work without rutting. The EPA describes the Grand Prairie around Lonoke, Ward, and Carlisle as slowly draining ground. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service tells you and reschedules, and any ruts we make are smoothed before we leave.

Do you clear land in all seven Central Arkansas counties?

Yes. Mark's Arkansas Land Clearing Service works in Pulaski, Faulkner, Saline, Lonoke, Perry, Conway, and Grant counties, from Adona to Wrightsville. Your quote comes with a start week. If the weather moves it, we call you.
