About earthwork contractors in Akron

Excavation dominates the Akron list: 14 of the 18 contractors show it, with demolition (5) and drainage & ponds (2) behind it. Northern Ohio Excavation & Grading LLC leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 5 reviews; across all 16 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 13 sit at 4.5 or higher. 1 of the 18 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 Akron 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 Akron: questions

How much does excavation cost in Akron?

Excavation in Akron 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 OH permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 18 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Akron clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization.
