About earthwork contractors in Urbana

Excavation dominates the Urbana list: 7 of the 8 contractors show it, with concrete & foundations (5) and driveways & gravel roads (2) behind it. The Mule Junk Removal leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 393 reviews; across all 7 rated listings the average is 4.0, and 2 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 8 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 Urbana 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 Urbana: questions

How much does excavation cost in Urbana?

Excavation in Urbana 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 8 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Urbana clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization.
