About earthwork contractors in Louisiana
We list 273 earthwork contractors across 91 cities in Louisiana.

The deepest lists are in Lafayette (18), Shreveport (18) and New Orleans (17). The trades with the most Louisiana coverage are excavation (207), demolition (108) and hauling & materials (45). 213 of these Louisiana listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.7 stars, and 175 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. 63 cover three or more trades, which is often the cheaper hire: one machine owner carries the job from clearing through grading to the dig.

Excavation in Louisiana: questions
Which Louisiana cities have the most excavation contractors?
Lafayette with 18, Shreveport with 18, New Orleans with 17, Baton Rouge with 16 and Lake Charles with 15 lead the Louisiana list. In total we cover 91 cities in the state, 273 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Louisiana?
There is no Louisiana rate card: contractors quote after seeing access, soil and haul distance. As national reference points, small residential digs commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000, land clearing runs about $1,500 to $5,000 an acre, and a conventional septic install is $5,000 to $15,000. Describe one identical scope to two or three of the 273 Louisiana contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Louisiana contractor clear, grade and dig?
63 of the 273 contractors we list in Louisiana show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Hackley Enterprises Construction in Sulphur, covering 6: excavation, land clearing, demolition and drainage & ponds. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who does land clearing in Louisiana?
42 of the 273 Louisiana listings show land clearing: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot before anything can be dug or built. Clearing is priced per acre and moves hardest on tree density and the debris plan (mulch on site, burn, or haul off), so settle the debris question first. Filter any Louisiana city page by "land clearing" to see who takes it.
