About earthwork contractors in Durham
EarthworkScout lists 16 earthwork contractors working Durham, North Carolina: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 11 of these Durham listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.8 stars, and 10 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, grading & site prep, demolition and drainage & ponds. 5 of them handle three or more of these trades, which matters more than it looks: a single outfit that can clear, grade and dig takes a lot from raw to pad-ready without a handoff, and handoffs are where a schedule slips. Earthwork in Durham is priced by the job rather than by a rate card, so the sensible move is to describe the same scope to two or three contractors and compare what comes back. Every listing here is built from public business data and the full set of categories a firm is filed under, and a service we do not show simply means we found no evidence of it, not that they turn the work down. Updated for 2026.
Excavation in Durham: questions
How much does excavation cost in Durham?
Excavation in Durham 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 NC permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 16 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Durham clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Max Tractor Service, inc. covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Durham: excavation, drainage & ponds, driveways & gravel roads and hauling & materials. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
Who does land clearing in Durham?
2 of the 16 Durham listings show land clearing work: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot so it can be dug or built on. Filter by "land clearing" above to see just those. Clearing is priced per acre and swings hard on tree cover and what happens to the debris, so ask early whether they mulch on site, burn, or haul off.
Which excavation contractor in Durham is rated highest?
Hunter Excavating is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Durham list, at 5.0 stars from 172 Google reviews. Of the 16 contractors working Durham, 10 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.8).
