About earthwork contractors in Dothan

The 9 earthwork contractors working Dothan, Alabama spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (6), demolition (3), driveways & gravel roads (2) and concrete & foundations (2). Wood Groundworks leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 20 reviews; across all 7 rated listings the average is 4.8, and 6 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 9 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 Dothan 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 Dothan: questions

How much does excavation cost in Dothan?

Excavation in Dothan 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 9 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Dothan clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Wood Groundworks covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Dothan: excavation, driveways & gravel roads, concrete & foundations and hauling & materials. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
