About earthwork contractors in Washington

The 11 earthwork contractors working Washington, Washington, D.C. spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: demolition (7), excavation (6), concrete & foundations (1) and drainage & ponds (1). Compliance Construction & Remediation Inc. leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 25 reviews; across all 10 rated listings the average is 4.1, and 7 sit at 4.5 or higher. 1 of the 11 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 Washington 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 Washington: questions

How much does excavation cost in Washington?

Excavation in Washington 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 DC permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 11 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Washington clear, grade and dig?
