About earthwork contractors in Tempe
Excavation dominates the Tempe list: 7 of the 8 contractors show it, with trenching & utilities (2) and septic systems (1) behind it. Bulliner Enterprises leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 2 reviews; across all 7 rated listings the average is 3.5. 1 of the 8 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 Tempe 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 Tempe: questions
How much does excavation cost in Tempe?
Excavation in Tempe 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 8 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Tempe clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Arizona Septic Tank covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Tempe: excavation, septic systems and drainage & ponds. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
Which Tempe contractors install septic systems?
1 of the Tempe 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 Tempe is rated highest?
Bulliner Enterprises is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Tempe list, at 5.0 stars from 2 Google reviews. Of the 8 contractors working Tempe, 1 is rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 3.5).
