About earthwork contractors in Hickory
The 23 earthwork contractors working Hickory, North Carolina spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (16), grading & site prep (12), land clearing (3) and hauling & materials (2). CBC "CONSTRUCTION BY CLARK LLC" leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 18 reviews; across all 13 rated listings the average is 4.2, and 7 sit at 4.5 or higher. 3 of the 23 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. 2 run mobile with no yard address; most directories drop those outfits, we flag them and keep them. Prices in Hickory 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 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).
