About earthwork contractors in Chelsea

Excavation dominates the Chelsea list: 6 of the 7 contractors show it, with land clearing (4) and demolition (2) behind it. Big Dig Demolition and Excavating leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 23 reviews; across all 6 rated listings the average is 4.9, and 5 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 7 cover three or more trades. That matters when a lot has to go from raw to pad-ready: a firm that clears, grades and digs keeps the job off a second mobilization, and mobilizations are where budgets slip. Prices in Chelsea are set per job, not off a rate card, so describe one scope to two or three of these firms and compare what comes back. Every listing is compiled from public Google Maps business data (our harvest ran July 2026), and a trade we do not show is one we found no evidence of, not one the firm turns down. Updated for 2026.

Excavation in Chelsea: questions

How much does excavation cost in Chelsea?

Excavation in Chelsea 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 Chelsea clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Big Dig Demolition and Excavating covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Chelsea: excavation, land clearing, demolition and concrete & foundations. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Who does land clearing in Chelsea?

Clearing is priced per acre and swings hard on tree cover and what happens to the debris, so ask early whether they mulch on site, burn, or haul off.
