How much does excavation cost in Ohio?
There is no Ohio rate card: contractors quote after seeing access, soil and haul distance. As national reference points, small residential digs commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000, land clearing runs about $1,500 to $5,000 an acre, and a conventional septic install is $5,000 to $15,000. Describe one identical scope to two or three of the 950 Ohio contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Ohio contractor clear, grade and dig?
173 of the 950 contractors we list in Ohio show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Green Peake Projects in Cincinnati, covering 6: excavation, land clearing, drainage & ponds and concrete & foundations.

Who does land clearing in Ohio?
89 of the 950 Ohio listings show land clearing: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot before anything can be dug or built. Clearing is priced per acre and moves hardest on tree density and the debris plan (mulch on site, burn, or haul off), so settle the debris question first.
