About earthwork contractors in Chicago
The 34 earthwork contractors working Chicago, Illinois spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: demolition (24), excavation (20), concrete & foundations (3) and driveways & gravel roads (1). JUNK Relief leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 2,096 reviews; across all 31 rated listings the average is 4.5, and 20 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 34 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 Chicago 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 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.
