Where we work in Bentonville
Crews and equipment mobilize anywhere in the United States, with travel built into a fixed quote after a free site survey. The buildings we quote most often in Bentonville are office towers, hotels and resorts, retail centers, apartment communities and municipal and public buildings.
Walmart Home Office campus
Walmart's 350-acre home office campus is planned around 12 office buildings for about 15,000 corporate employees, includes the 360,000 square foot Walton Family Whole Health and Fitness Center, and opened in phases through 2025.
Downtown Square
The downtown square holds the Benton County Courthouse, the original Walton's 5 and 10 store and a ring of historic commercial buildings that serve as the city's civic center.
Crystal Bridges and the museum district
Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art at 600 Museum Way spans eight pavilions totaling about 200,000 square feet, built of architectural concrete, western red cedar, copper roofing and fieldstone on roughly 120 acres of Ozark forest.
Bentonville building stock
The 2020 census counted 54,164 residents in Bentonville, the ninth most populous city in Arkansas and the seat of Benton County.
Walmart's new home office campus covers 350 acres with 12 planned office buildings, room for 15,000 corporate employees and a 360,000 square foot fitness center, and opened in phases through 2025.
Bentonville added 147,962 square feet of new office space in 2023, more than half of the 277,228 square feet that opened across Northwest Arkansas that year, while the regional office vacancy rate held at 8.8 percent.
Crystal Bridges' eight interconnected pavilions total about 200,000 square feet of museum space with concrete, cedar, copper and fieldstone exteriors set around spring-fed ponds.
Bentonville listed 43 office spaces for lease totaling about 72,066 square feet, and buildings completed in or after 2000 make up about 36 percent of the office inventory.
A tethered drone reaches up to 200 ft, about 18 stories, from one staging position; taller towers are worked from podiums, setbacks or the roof. Height is a planning question at the survey, not a limit.
Climate, soiling and season in Bentonville
Bentonville has a humid subtropical climate with about 47.3 inches of precipitation a year and July highs near 89 degrees, so shaded masonry, cedar and glass pick up algae, pollen and mildew through the warm months.
Bentonville averages its last spring frost in mid-April and its first fall frost in mid-October, about 183 frost-free days at the Bentonville climate station, so the dependable water-based washing window runs from spring into mid-autumn.
Bentonville's average first freeze is mid-October, and the average last freeze is mid-April. These are averages; the survey confirms the window for your building.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Bentonville
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
Bentonville sits under the Class C airspace of Northwest Arkansas National Airport, so LAANC authorization governs drone flights in the controlled rings over the city.
Northwest Arkansas cities regulate drones through city-park and city-property conduct policies for launch and landing rather than airspace rules.
Bentonville's stormwater Ordinance 2006-167 sets goals that include public awareness of the hazards of improperly discharging trash, yard waste, cleaning products, paint, oil and sediment into the storm drainage system.
Bentonville requires a Right-of-Way Permit for any work upon, in, under or above a street, alley, curb, gutter or sidewalk, plus a Traffic Management Plan for every closure or detour; submittals take five business days to review.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Arkansas page. See also where drones need permits.
