Heavy Equipment & Land Services — Batesville, AR & Surrounding Region
My name is Adnan, and I am the owner and operator of Honey Locust Farmer. I am a farmer by trade — I understand land, I understand dirt, and I understand the kind of work that never really ends when you own rural property. But I am more than a farmer. Over the years, life brought me through many different challenges and roles, and every one of them taught me something about how to listen, how to solve problems, and how to deal with people the right way.
That experience is the foundation of how I run this business. When you call me, you are not talking to a dispatcher or a salesperson. You are talking to the person who will show up at your property, run the equipment, and make sure the job is done right. Understanding what a customer actually needs — not just what they ask for, but what the job truly requires — is one of my strongest assets.
I started Honey Locust Farmer in 2020 with a simple belief: do honest work, charge a fair price, and don't leave until the customer is satisfied. That has not changed.
Based in Locust Grove, AR. Serving Batesville, Mountain Home, Jonesboro, and rural properties within a 100-mile radius.
We are a small, focused team of two. Low overhead means better pricing for you. No middlemen, no subcontractors on your job without your knowledge.
You call. I answer. I show up. We get it done.
📞 870-834-0862We bring tracked equipment and heavy machinery to rural properties, farms, and residential lots across North Arkansas. Below is a full look at each service, how the process works, and what affects the price.
Whether you need a building pad, a camper site, a level yard, or a driveway reshaped, we have the equipment to get the ground where it needs to be. We handle everything from small backyard grading to large-scale land preparation for construction.
How the process works when you call:
Step 1 — I ask whether there is enough room for a Bobcat or track loader to access the area. Equipment access determines which machines I can bring and affects the job approach.
Step 2 — I ask how much area needs to be graded and where you want the extra dirt to go — built up somewhere on your property, spread out, or hauled away completely.
Step 3 — I ask whether you need sifted fill dirt added to the area to bring it up to the right level.
Step 4 — I ask whether you want the area seeded after grading — if you need grass to grow back, we account for that in the plan.
Most grading jobs are completed in a single day.
A well-graded gravel driveway sheds water properly and holds up through Arkansas mud season. We grade the base, spread gravel evenly, and compact it for a result that lasts.
Before — muddy rutted dirt road
After — long gravel driveway, graded and spread
Need land cleared for a shipping container, shed, RV, camper, or new structure? We cut through overgrowth, remove brush and debris, and grade the ground flat and level so your pad is ready to use. The before and after below show a full container pad clearing — from dense overgrown woodland to a clean, level site in a single day.
Before — overgrown woodland, no usable space
After — cleared, graded, and ready for a container
Farm ponds are valuable. A leaking or silted-up pond costs you water, wildlife habitat, and livestock access. We specialize in restoring farm ponds across rural Arkansas — sealing leaks, repairing embankments, and cleaning out years of accumulated silt and debris.
We bring heavy tracked equipment that is designed to work in mud and wet conditions. Where other machines get stuck, ours keep moving. Whether your pond needs a full cleanout or just embankment work, we assess the situation honestly and give you a straightforward plan.

If it is standing and you want it gone, we can take it down. We demolish and completely remove any structure — old garages, barns, houses, outbuildings, sheds, above-ground pools, in-ground concrete pool structures, and any other deteriorating or unwanted building on your property. No job is too small or too big.
Once the structure is down, we clean up every bit of debris and haul it completely off your property. You are left with a clean, level, usable site — not a pile of rubble. Whether you want the area graded flat afterward or prepared for a new structure, we handle it all in one visit when possible.
We also have trailers specifically for hauling away unwanted junk — equipment, scrap, old materials, or anything else cluttering your land. If you have something you need gone, we can load it up and dispose of it properly.
Before — barn site clearing
After — site restored and graded
Before — pool demolition
After — site cleared and leveled

Tree work is one of the most hazard-sensitive jobs we do, and we take it seriously. We remove dangerous trees, clear fallen trees from structures after storms, and excavate massive stumps and root balls that other services leave behind.
How the process works when you call about a tree:
First question — Are there any homes, garages, structures, fences, or power lines near the tree? The proximity of the tree to structures is the single biggest factor in price and difficulty. The closer the tree is to something that can be damaged, the more careful and time-intensive the work is.
Second question — What do you want done with the remains of the tree? Hauled completely off your property, or left on the land for firewood or other use? Hauling adds cost; leaving the wood on site reduces it. You decide.
Third — Size and condition of the tree. A large, dead tree near a fence is a very different job from a healthy tree in an open field.
For storm damage, we have experience carefully removing trees that have landed on roofs, sheds, fences, and outbuildings — using tracked excavators to lift and clear without causing additional damage to the structure.

We are based in Locust Grove, AR and travel throughout North Arkansas and parts of Southern Missouri for the right job. Most of our work is in the Batesville region, but we regularly travel for large pond repairs, major excavation projects, and structural demolition.
If you are outside these areas, call anyway — for a big enough project, we will come to you.
We own and operate the equipment we bring to your job — no rented machines, no unfamiliar gear. That means we know exactly what our equipment can and cannot do, and we tell you honestly upfront. We choose the right machine for the terrain and job type so your project gets done efficiently and safely.
We believe in transparent, verifiable work history. Our reviews are listed under our verified contractor profile on HomeAdvisor / Angi — one of the nation's top contractor networks.
Every job is handled directly by the owner. We do not outsource your project or hand it to a crew you've never spoken with. When you call 870-834-0862, you reach Adnan — the same person who shows up, runs the equipment, and makes sure you're happy before you pay a single dollar.
That direct accountability is why our customers leave honest reviews, and why those reviews reflect a consistent experience: fair price, honest communication, and work that meets the mark.
