Excavation in Locust: questions

How much does excavation cost in Locust?

Excavation in Locust 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 3 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Locust clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Dirt Works Site Solutions Inc covers 3 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Locust: excavation, septic systems and drainage & ponds. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Which Locust contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Locust 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.

Carolina Iron Clad is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Locust list, at 5.0 stars from 5 Google reviews. Of the 3 contractors working Locust, 2 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 3.6).
