About earthwork contractors in New Orleans

Demolition dominates the New Orleans list: 13 of the 17 contractors show it, with excavation (6) and hauling & materials (3) behind it. Big Easy Demolition: New Orleans Concrete & Demolition Company leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 22 reviews; across all 15 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 11 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 17 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans: questions

How much does excavation cost in New Orleans?

Excavation in New Orleans 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 LA permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 17 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in New Orleans clear, grade and dig?

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