About earthwork contractors in DeKalb
EarthworkScout lists 6 earthwork contractors working DeKalb, Illinois: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 4 of these DeKalb listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.6 stars, and 3 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, demolition, hauling & materials and snow removal. 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 DeKalb 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 DeKalb: questions
How much does excavation cost in DeKalb?
Excavation in DeKalb 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 6 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in DeKalb clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Sipes & Sons Dumpster Rental & Demolition covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in DeKalb: excavation, demolition, hauling & materials and snow removal.
