Excavation in Mississippi: questions
Which Mississippi cities have the most excavation contractors?
Gulfport with 16, Jackson with 9, Olive Branch with 7, Hattiesburg with 6 and Vancleave with 6 lead the Mississippi list. In total we cover 51 cities in the state, 129 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Mississippi?
There is no Mississippi 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 129 Mississippi contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Mississippi contractor clear, grade and dig?
21 of the 129 contractors we list in Mississippi show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is M Collins Construction in Ellisville, covering 5: excavation, demolition, drainage & ponds and driveways & gravel roads. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who does land clearing in Mississippi?
26 of the 129 Mississippi 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 Mississippi city page by "land clearing" to see who takes it.
