About earthwork contractors in Bloomington

Excavation dominates the Bloomington list: 14 of the 15 contractors show it, with demolition (3) and septic systems (2) behind it. Dave Capodice Excavating & Material Sales leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 31 reviews; across all 11 rated listings the average is 4.5, and 6 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 15 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 Bloomington 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 Bloomington: questions

How much does excavation cost in Bloomington?

Excavation in Bloomington 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 IL permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 15 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Bloomington clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Dave Capodice Excavating & Material Sales covers 5 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Bloomington: excavation, septic systems, demolition and trenching & utilities. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Which Bloomington contractors install septic systems?

2 of the Bloomington listings carry 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.

Dave Capodice Excavating & Material Sales is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Bloomington list, at 5.0 stars from 31 Google reviews. Of the 15 contractors working Bloomington, 6 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.5).
