About earthwork contractors in Athens
EarthworkScout lists 7 earthwork contractors working Athens, Alabama: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 7 of these Athens listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.6 stars, and 5 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, demolition, hauling & materials and septic systems. 1 of them handle three or more of these trades, which matters more than it looks: a single outfit that can clear, grade and dig takes a lot from raw to pad-ready without a handoff, and handoffs are where a schedule slips. Earthwork in Athens is priced by the job rather than by a rate card, so the sensible move is to describe the same scope to two or three contractors and compare what comes back. Every listing here is built from public business data and the full set of categories a firm is filed under, and a service we do not show simply means we found no evidence of it, not that they turn the work down. Updated for 2026.
Excavation in Athens: questions
How much does excavation cost in Athens?
Excavation in Athens is quoted by the job or the machine day, not off a price list. A small residential dig commonly lands between $1,500 and $5,000; what moves it is access, how far the spoil has to travel, whether you hit rock, and what the AL permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 7 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Athens clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Strickland Dirt Works, LLC covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Athens: excavation, demolition and hauling & materials. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
Which Athens contractors install septic systems?
1 of the Athens listing carries septic installation. That is installers, not tank pumpers: we drop the pump-and-haul outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. Septic work is permitted and usually needs a perc test before anyone digs, so start that conversation well before you want the machine on site.
Which excavation contractor in Athens is rated highest?
Dry Creek Grading is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Athens list, at 5.0 stars from 17 Google reviews. Of the 7 contractors working Athens, 5 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.6).
