About earthwork contractors in San Diego
EarthworkScout lists 19 earthwork contractors working San Diego, California: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 15 of these San Diego listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.6 stars, and 10 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, demolition, drainage & ponds and concrete & foundations. 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 San Diego 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 San Diego: questions
How much does excavation cost in San Diego?
Excavation in San Diego 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 CA permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 19 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in San Diego clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. John Smith Earthworks Inc covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in San Diego: excavation, demolition and hauling & materials.
