Demolition Little Rock arranges demolition in Shannon Hills, the small Saline County city of about 4,500 people (2020 Census) just southwest of Little Rock, about 8 miles from Little Rock's center point. It is a quiet residential place, so the work is mostly small: pools, sheds, carports, mobile homes and a teardown now and then, with wet ground in mind every time.
A careful fill-in in Shannon Hills costs about $2,000 to $7,000; dumping fill into a wet hole without drainage can leave a soggy, sinking patch that costs $3,000 or more to dig out and redo.

Call (501) 222-3828Signs the ground is part of the problem
- Water standing in the yard for days after rain
- A pool that holds groundwater when it is drained
- Sheds and carports rotted or rusted at the base from wet soil
- A patio that has sunk unevenly
- Mobile home piers that have settled
Frequently flooded silt loam
At Shannon Hills' Census point the USDA soil survey maps Amy silt loam on 0 to 1 percent slopes, frequently flooded and poorly drained. That is the most important fact about demolition here. An open pool or footing hole can fill with water and stay full, fill placed into wet soil will not compact properly, and a lot graded flat will hold water.
The fix is patience and drainage: pump the hole, let it dry or put drainable stone at the bottom, place fill in compacted lifts only when it is workable, and crown the surface so rain runs off. The pool fill in page explains the drain holes and lifts.
Small jobs done properly
Most Shannon Hills jobs are a day or two: a pool, a shed, a carport, a mobile home. Small jobs often combine well, for example a carport and a shed removed in the same trip, which saves on mobilization.

Call (501) 222-3828Mobile homes and carports on wet ground
Older mobile homes and metal carports in low areas rust and settle faster than the same structures on dry ground, because the piers sink and the steel stays damp. When one is removed, the piers, blocks and tie-down anchors come out with it, and the pad is regraded so the next home or slab is not set on soft spots. Where the ground is very wet, a layer of compacted gravel under a new pad helps. The mobile home demolition page covers title, propane and septic questions that come first.
Questions people ask
How much does a pool fill-in cost in Shannon Hills?
Typically $2,000 to $7,000, averaging about $5,000. A full removal of the whole shell is $9,000 to $19,000.
What are the signs wet ground will affect my demolition?
Standing water after rain, a pool that holds groundwater when drained, and sheds or patios settling or rotting at the base.
Why does soil matter for a pool fill-in?
The USDA soil survey maps poorly drained, frequently flooded silt here, so fill must go into a dry hole in compacted lifts.
Can you remove a mobile home in Shannon Hills?
Yes. Most come apart on site for $2,000 to $6,000, with the pad cleared afterward.
Who issues permits in Shannon Hills?
The City of Shannon Hills. Ask it about the permit for your address before work starts.
Can you take down a carport in Shannon Hills?
Yes. Metal carports are usually unbolted and scrapped in under a day, and the posts and any concrete footings are pulled so the ground can be mowed, regraded or reused for a new slab.
Have something that needs to come down?
A house, a garage, a pool or a slab. Call with the address and the size, and get a typical price range and the permit steps that apply to it.
