For General Contractors, CMs, Developers & Engineers — Statewide Arkansas
Mass grading, GPS pad prep, underground utilities, rock excavation, hauling and demo — under one contract, one mobilization, one crew you can hold accountable. Licensed AR Commercial Contractor #3287-C, active carrier under USDOT #581938, BBB file since 2006 with zero complaints. Prequal packet, COI and references furnished on request.
Prequal, up front
Everything an estimator screens for before adding a sub to a bid list is public record, not a sales pitch. License number and classifications, USDOT carrier status, BBB history, insurance certificates on request, bonding capacity on request. We'll hand you the verification links before you ask: aclb.arkansas.gov, safer.fmcsa.dot.gov, and bbb.org.
Larry Cox Construction, Inc. (dba Cox Earthworks) holds AR Contractors Licensing Board License #3287-C (Commercial), active, expiring 04/2027, with classifications in Highway, Railroad & Airport Construction and Underground Piping, Cable, Trenching & Boring. Company trucks and drivers operate under USDOT #581938 as an active intrastate carrier with a clean safety record. The BBB file has been open since 2006 with zero complaints. The company incorporated in 2009 on top of a family dirt-work operation running since 1972 — three generations, Larry, Connie, Matthew and Lance Cox.
One sub, one mobilization
Most small sitework subs bid the grading and sub out the rock, the utilities, or the hauling to whoever they can get scheduled. That's more mobilizations, more coordination risk, and more places for a schedule to slip. Cox self-performs mass grading and GPS pad prep, clearing and grubbing, underground utilities, rock excavation, hauling and demolition with our own crews and our own iron. One contract, one crew on site, one point of accountability when something needs to change.
Rock doesn't stall the job
A 10,000-lb hydraulic hammer on an 80,000-lb excavator means rock encountered mid-grading gets broken in place the same day, same crew — no blasting subcontractor to schedule, no blast permits, no evacuating the site. It works beside existing structures and utilities without the seismic risk a shot carries.
Pricing before you ask
We publish an hourly equipment rate sheet at dozer work & equipment rates — unusual transparency for a sub. T&M work and change-order pricing are already public before you ever have to ask for a number, which makes budgeting and change-order review faster on your end.
GPS/GNSS machine control has been part of the operation since 2007, when Cox ran one of the first Topcon 3D systems in Arkansas on the City of Heber Springs softball complex — covered by Construction Equipment magazine and For Construction Pros, which reported grading accuracy to a half inch. Today's Komatsu intelligent machine-control dozers hold finish grade to a tenth of a foot.
Commercial work on our project list: Stone Bank — White Hall & Harrison · Cabot Emergency Hospital · Russellville EMS · PrimeCare — Sherwood · City of Heber Springs softball complex. Bank ground, medical ground, municipal ground — from the Missouri line to the Pine Bluff side of the river. Scope details and references furnished on request.
Self-performed scope
Komatsu intelligent machine-control dozers holding finish grade to a tenth of a foot — GPS grading since 2007. Commercial pads, roads, and airport and heavy-civil sitework under our Highway, Railroad & Airport classification.
Water service, sanitary sewer mains and laterals, and storm drainage — boring under drives and roads where the alignment calls for it.
10,000-lb hydraulic hammer on an 80,000-lb excavator breaks rock in place — no blasting sub, no blast permits.
Clearing and grubbing ahead of grading, staged and coordinated with the rest of the self-performed scope.
Culverts, storm structures, erosion control and riverbank stabilization built alongside the grading and utility work.
Company trucks and trailers haul aggregate and move equipment up to 135,000 lbs — plus demolition and debris haul-off.

What estimators ask
Yes. Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board License #3287-C (Commercial), active, expires 04/2027, held by Larry Cox Construction, Inc. (dba Cox Earthworks). Classifications: Highway, Railroad & Airport Construction, and Underground Piping, Cable, Trenching & Boring — and we work both, including airport and heavy-civil sitework, road work, and licensed underground utilities. Not classifications we merely hold on paper. We're insured, and certificates of insurance are furnished on request. Verify the license at aclb.arkansas.gov, our carrier status at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov, and our record at bbb.org.
We self-perform mass grading and GPS pad prep, clearing and grubbing, underground utilities (water service, sanitary sewer mains and laterals, storm drainage), boring under drives and roads, culverts and storm structures, rock excavation with our own hydraulic hammer, erosion control and riverbank stabilization, demolition and debris haul-off, aggregate supply and hauling on our own trucks, and ponds and detention basins. That's one sub carrying the scope instead of a daisy-chain of smaller subs — one mobilization, one point of accountability on your job.
Yes. We run a 10,000-lb hydraulic hammer on an 80,000-lb excavator — no blasting sub, no blast permits, no evacuating the site. It works right beside existing structures and utilities and breaks rock in place, so a rock encounter doesn't stall your schedule waiting on a specialty sub to mobilize.
