Demolition Little Rock arranges demolition in Alexander, the small city of about 3,400 people (2020 Census) that sits across the Pulaski and Saline county line, about 9 miles southwest of Little Rock's center point. Larger lots and acreage set the pattern here: mobile homes, barns, sheds and older houses, often several on one property.
Clearing an old mobile home and its outbuildings in Alexander typically costs $2,000 to $6,000 for the home itself; leaving them empty invites a code complaint, pests and a roof collapse that roughly doubles the eventual cleanup.

One city, two counties
Alexander's city limits cross the Pulaski and Saline county line. Inside the city, the City of Alexander is the place to ask about permits. On unincorporated land around it, the county that the property sits in applies, so the first question for any job here is which side of which line the address falls on.
Clearing several structures at once
Many Alexander jobs are a whole property rather than one building: a mobile home, a barn, two sheds and a carport. Doing them together saves on mobilization and lets the crew sort metal for scrap, good lumber for salvage, and the rest for the landfill in one pass. Propane tanks, old fuel and any chemicals in the outbuildings are removed first.

Call (501) 222-3828Well drained sandy ground
At Alexander's Census point the USDA soil survey maps Smithdale loamy sand on gentle slopes, well drained and in hydrologic group B. Holes left by piers, footings or a septic tank drain and backfill readily, and a cleared lot dries quickly after rain, which makes finishing the ground easier than on the wet silt a few miles east.

Call (501) 222-3828Septic tanks and wells on Alexander lots
Many properties around Alexander are on a septic system and some on a private well, because the larger lots sit beyond city sewer and water lines. Before a house or mobile home comes down, decide what happens to both. A septic tank that will serve a replacement home can stay, marked and protected from the machines. One that will not is pumped by a licensed septic hauler and then crushed and filled or removed, so it cannot collapse under a mower or a child later. An unused well is capped or properly plugged rather than left open under debris.
Those steps are small next to the demolition itself, but they are the ones most often forgotten on rural jobs, and the hardest to fix once the site has been graded over. Mark the tank lid and the well head with stakes before the crew arrives.
