About Honey Locust Farmer

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.

What We Do

We 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.

🏗 Grading, Excavation & Site Preparation

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.

🛣 Driveway Grading & Gravel Spreading

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.

Pricing reference (Batesville area):
One truck of gravel: approximately $350 delivered.
Spreading and grading that truck: approximately $600.
Need more trucks? The labor charge increases with additional loads, but it does not double per truck — longer driveways get more value per truck of material.

🏗 Site Clearing & Pad Preparation

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.

🛥 Pond Repair & Maintenance

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.

🏠 Demolition & Structure Removal

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.

🌳 Tree Removal & Storm Cleanup

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from property owners, farmers, and homeowners across Arkansas. If your question is not here, call Adnan directly at 870-834-0862.

How do I get a quote?
You call directly and speak with the owner, Adnan, at 870-834-0862. No call centers, no corporate runaround. Describe your project, I ask a few straightforward questions, and I give you an honest, transparent quote. There is no charge for a phone consultation.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Locust Grove, AR and serve Batesville, Mountain Home, Jonesboro, and rural properties throughout a 100-mile radius. We travel for major pond repairs, grading, and structural demolition. If you are outside these areas, call anyway — for the right job, we will come to you.
How much does driveway grading and gravel cost?
In the Batesville area, one truck of gravel runs approximately $350 delivered. Spreading and grading that truck typically costs around $600. If you need additional trucks, the labor charge increases but does not double per truck — the more material, the more value you get per load.
What do you need to know to quote a grading job?
The first thing I ask is whether there is enough room for a Bobcat or track loader to get to the area. Then I ask how much needs to be graded and where you want the extra dirt to go. I also ask whether you need sifted fill dirt added back and whether you want the area seeded after we finish.
How long does a typical job take?
Most grading, driveway, and demolition jobs are completed in a single day. Larger projects — full pond cleanouts, multi-structure demolitions, or extensive land clearing — may take additional days, which we discuss during your quote so there are no surprises.
What factors affect the price of tree removal?
The biggest factors are: (1) proximity to structures — if the tree is near a home, garage, fence, or power line, the work requires more precision and time; (2) what you want done with the remains — hauling wood away costs more than leaving it on the property; and (3) size and condition of the tree. I ask all of these upfront so your quote is accurate.
Can you remove a tree that fell on my roof or structure?
Yes. Storm damage is one of the situations we are specifically equipped for. We use tracked excavators to carefully lift and remove fallen trees from structures while minimizing additional damage. If you have a tree on a building, call us right away.
Do you repair farm ponds?
Yes. We handle pond leak sealing, embankment repairs, and full cleanouts. We bring tracked heavy equipment that can work in mud and wet conditions where other machines can't operate. If your pond is leaking or silted up, we can restore it.
Do you demolish and remove old swimming pools?
Yes — both above-ground and in-ground concrete pools. We break down the structure, haul every bit of debris away, and grade the area flat so you are left with a clean, usable yard.
What is your satisfaction guarantee?
You do not pay until you are 100% satisfied with the work. We do not consider a job finished until the customer is genuinely happy with the result. That is not a marketing line — it is how we operate on every single job.
Are you insured?
The short answer is no — and for the majority of our work, insurance is not required. Most of what we do is land and property work for private property owners where no insurance requirement applies. If your project has specific insurance requirements, just ask when you call and we will have a straightforward conversation about it.
Do you offer junk removal?
Yes. We have trailers for hauling away unwanted junk — old equipment, scrap metal, debris, leftover building materials, or anything else taking up space on your property. We load it, haul it, and dispose of it properly. If you have something you need gone, give us a call and describe what you have.
How long have you been in business?
Honey Locust Farmer has been in operation since 2020, serving rural property owners, farmers, and homeowners across Arkansas and the surrounding region.
