BUILT ON
SOLID
GROUND
Professional excavation and heavy equipment work done right, the first time. Serving homeowners, contractors, and developers across Arkansas from our home base in Benton.

SERVICES
From a single drainage fix to full land development — we operate the equipment, we know the ground, and we get the job done without the runaround.
French Drains
Persistent standing water and soggy yards are a solvable problem. We design and install French drain systems that move water where it belongs — away from your foundation, yard, and driveway.
Septic Systems
New construction or replacement — we handle the excavation and site prep for septic tank installation. We work with system installers or can coordinate the full job.
Land Clearing
Got timber, brush, stumps, or overgrowth standing between you and a usable piece of property? We clear it out efficiently and leave you a clean slate to build on.
Grading & Leveling
Proper grading is the foundation of everything that comes after. We establish correct slopes and drainage patterns for pads, lots, driveways, and entire properties.
Pool Excavation
Digging for an in-ground pool is no place to cut corners. We excavate to the specified depth and shape so your pool contractor can get straight to work.
Drainage Work
Beyond French drains, we handle channel drains, swales, retention areas, and culverts. If water is your problem, drainage is our specialty.
Site Preparation
New home, shop, commercial building, or accessory structure — we prepare the site from raw ground to build-ready, including clearing, grading, and utility trenching.
Trenching
Utility lines, irrigation, electrical conduit, drain pipes — we trench clean, straight, and to depth so your trades can do what they do without fighting a messy ditch.
Land Development
Turning raw acreage into something buildable takes real planning and the right equipment. We handle the heavy side of development — roads, pads, ponds, and general earthwork.

THE DIFFERENCE
IS SIMPLE
There are plenty of equipment operators in Arkansas. Finding one who's dependable, communicates, and takes pride in a finished job — that's the harder part. That's where we come in.

Chase Malone is on every job. You're not dealing with a dispatcher or a crew foreman you've never met — you're working with the man running the machine. That accountability makes a difference in how work gets done.
Straight Talk
No padded quotes. No bait-and-switch scope. You'll get an honest assessment of what the job actually requires and a fair price for the work. If something changes on-site, we tell you before we do it.
The Right Equipment
We run the right machine for the job — not whatever happens to be available. Proper equipment means cleaner work, fewer surprises, and a finished product that holds up.
Shows Up on Time
Sounds basic because it is basic — and yet it's apparently rare. We schedule the job and we're there. Your project doesn't stall while you wait for a contractor to get around to it.

MEET
CHASE MALONE
Chase Malone grew up in Arkansas, and he's spent his career learning the ground — how it behaves, how it drains, how it holds after you move it around. That knowledge doesn't come from a classroom. It comes from years of seat time in the cab and jobs that demanded precision.
Malone Excavation was built on a straightforward idea: be the contractor you wish you could always hire. Show up when you say you will, do the work right the first time, and give your customers a straight answer when they have a question.
Whether you're a homeowner dealing with a drainage problem, a builder starting a subdivision, or a developer turning raw land into something useful — Chase brings the same approach to every job.
