About earthwork contractors in Montana
We list 179 earthwork contractors across 45 cities in Montana. The reason to browse them here rather than on Maps is the trades: Google files each firm under one category, and we show every job we can evidence. The deepest lists are in Missoula (30), Billings (26) and Bozeman (23). The trades with the most Montana coverage are excavation (172), concrete & foundations (19) and demolition (17). 141 of these Montana listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.5 stars, and 101 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. 24 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 Montana: questions
Which Montana cities have the most excavation contractors?
Missoula with 30, Billings with 26, Bozeman with 23, Great Falls with 23 and Belgrade with 11 lead the Montana list. In total we cover 45 cities in the state, 179 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Montana?
There is no Montana 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 179 Montana contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Montana contractor clear, grade and dig?
24 of the 179 contractors we list in Montana show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Ragland Earthworks LLC in Big Sky, covering 6: excavation, septic systems, 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 installs septic systems in Montana?
15 of the 179 Montana 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.
