About earthwork contractors in Scottsdale

EarthworkScout lists 20 earthwork contractors working Scottsdale, Arizona: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 17 of these Scottsdale listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.8 stars, and 13 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, demolition, trenching & utilities and grading & site prep. 2 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 Scottsdale 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.

Excavation in Scottsdale: questions

How much does excavation cost in Scottsdale?

Excavation in Scottsdale 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 AZ permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 20 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Scottsdale clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Dig It Excavating covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Scottsdale: excavation, septic systems and trenching & utilities. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Which Scottsdale contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale is rated highest?

Desert Demo & Junk Removal, LLC is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Scottsdale list, at 5.0 stars from 70 Google reviews. Of the 20 contractors working Scottsdale, 13 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.8).
