About earthwork contractors in Chicago
EarthworkScout lists 34 earthwork contractors working Chicago, Illinois: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 31 of these Chicago listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.5 stars, and 20 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover demolition, excavation, concrete & foundations and driveways & gravel roads. 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 Chicago 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 Chicago: questions
How much does excavation cost in Chicago?
Excavation in Chicago 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 34 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Chicago clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Atlas Demolition - Chicago covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Chicago: excavation, demolition, driveways & gravel roads and concrete & foundations. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
