About earthwork contractors in Troy

Excavation dominates the Troy list: 9 of the 9 contractors show it, with septic systems (3) and driveways & gravel roads (2) behind it. Kaczmar Enterprises LLC Excavation Company leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 15 reviews; across all 9 rated listings the average is 4.4, and 6 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 9 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. Prices in Troy 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 Troy: questions

How much does excavation cost in Troy?

Excavation in Troy 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 NY permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 9 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Troy clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Bob Talham Inc covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Troy: excavation, septic systems, driveways & gravel roads and concrete & foundations. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Which Troy contractors install septic systems?

3 of the Troy listings carry 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.

Kaczmar Enterprises LLC Excavation Company is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Troy list, at 5.0 stars from 15 Google reviews. Of the 9 contractors working Troy, 6 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.4).
