About excavation contractors
Digging and moving dirt: footings, trenches, basements, cuts and fills. EarthworkScout tags every listing with the trades we can evidence from public business data, which is what lets you search by the job in front of you instead of by a trade name. A contractor without the excavation tag is one we found no record of doing it, not one that refuses the work, so treat the list as a floor and ask. Updated for 2026.
Excavation: questions
What is excavation?
Digging and moving dirt: footings, trenches, basements, cuts and fills. It is one of the earthwork trades we tag on every listing, so you can find the contractors who take that specific job rather than guessing from a business name.
How many contractors do excavation?
We have 17,527 on record across 51 states and 5,461 cities. That is the number where we found evidence of the work in public business data; a contractor with no excavation tag may still take the job, so it is always worth asking.
Can one contractor do excavation and the rest of my job?
Often, and it is usually cheaper because you pay one mobilization instead of two. 10,132 of the 21,050 contractors in this directory carry two or more trades. Open a city page and stack the filters for every part of your job to find the ones that cover all of it.
