Excavation in Massachusetts: questions
Which Massachusetts cities have the most excavation contractors?
Douglas with 33, Worcester with 16, Boston with 14, Lynn with 13 and Westfield with 13 lead the Massachusetts list. In total we cover 241 cities in the state, 806 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Massachusetts?
There is no Massachusetts 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 806 Massachusetts contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Massachusetts contractor clear, grade and dig?
125 of the 806 contractors we list in Massachusetts show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Titan Excavating, Inc in Newton, covering 6: excavation, septic systems, demolition and trenching & utilities. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who installs septic systems in Massachusetts?
83 of the 806 Massachusetts listings show septic installation. Those are installers, not tank pumpers; we drop pump-only outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. A perc test and a permit come before any digging, so start those early, then filter a city page by "septic systems" to see who does the work near you.
