About earthwork contractors in Hickory
EarthworkScout lists 23 earthwork contractors working Hickory, North Carolina: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 13 of these Hickory listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.2 stars, and 7 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, grading & site prep, land clearing and hauling & materials. 3 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 Hickory 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 Hickory: questions
How much does excavation cost in Hickory?
Excavation in Hickory 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 23 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Hickory clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. CBC "CONSTRUCTION BY CLARK LLC" covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Hickory: excavation, septic systems 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 Hickory?
3 of the 23 Hickory 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 Hickory contractors install septic systems?
1 of the Hickory listing carries septic installation. That is installers, not tank pumpers: we drop the pump-and-haul outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. Septic work is permitted and usually needs a perc test before anyone digs, so start that conversation well before you want the machine on site.
Which excavation contractor in Hickory is rated highest?
CBC "CONSTRUCTION BY CLARK LLC" is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Hickory list, at 5.0 stars from 18 Google reviews. Of the 23 contractors working Hickory, 7 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.2).
