Excavation equipment operating at a job site in Eastern Arkansas

About Hicks Excavation

Serving McCrory and Eastern Arkansas since 2010. With over 2,000 projects completed, we are the region’s trusted choice for professional site preparation and dirt work.

Our Story: From 2010 to Today

The story of Hicks Excavation is deeply rooted in the soil of Eastern Arkansas. When Aaron Hicks founded the company in 2010, the goal was simple: provide reliable, honest earthmoving services to the residents of McCrory and surrounding communities. Starting with a single piece of equipment and a commitment to hard work, we began tackling residential projects, quickly earning a reputation for precision and dependability.

2010: The Foundation

Hicks Excavation was established in McCrory, AR. We focused initially on small residential grading and drainage solutions, laying the groundwork for our operational standards.

2016: Expansion

As demand grew across Woodruff County, we expanded our fleet. This period marked our transition into larger site preparation projects, allowing us to serve both homeowners and local agricultural clients.

Present Day

Today, Hicks Excavation has successfully completed over 2,000 projects. We stand as a fully insured, premier excavating contractor serving the entirety of Eastern Arkansas with comprehensive land services.

What Our Customers Say

“Aaron and his team transformed our property. We had severe drainage issues in our backyard that caused flooding every spring. Hicks Excavation regraded the land and installed proper drainage. Two years later, our yard is still dry. Highly recommend for anyone in Woodruff County.”

— Michael R., McCrory Resident

“We needed a pad built for a new shop. Hicks Excavation was professional, on time, and the site prep was perfectly level. They handled the permitting and inspections seamlessly. Great experience from start to finish.”

— Sarah T., Eastern Arkansas
