About earthwork contractors in Boston

The 14 earthwork contractors working Boston, Massachusetts spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: demolition (9), excavation (7), driveways & gravel roads (2) and concrete & foundations (1). Circa Demo & Disposal leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 50 reviews; across all 13 rated listings the average is 4.0, and 8 sit at 4.5 or higher. 1 of the 14 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. 1 runs mobile with no yard address; most directories drop those outfits, we flag them and keep them. Prices in Boston 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 Boston: questions

How much does excavation cost in Boston?

Excavation in Boston 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 MA permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 14 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Boston clear, grade and dig?
