About earthwork contractors in Salem

EarthworkScout lists 26 earthwork contractors working Salem, Oregon: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 23 of these Salem listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.5 stars, and 17 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, concrete & foundations, septic systems and trenching & utilities. 5 of them handle three or more of these trades, which matters more than it looks: a single outfit that can clear, grade and dig takes a lot from raw to pad-ready without a handoff, and handoffs are where a schedule slips. Earthwork in Salem is priced by the job rather than by a rate card, so the sensible move is to describe the same scope to two or three contractors and compare what comes back. Every listing here is built from public business data and the full set of categories a firm is filed under, and a service we do not show simply means we found no evidence of it, not that they turn the work down. Updated for 2026.

Excavation in Salem: questions

How much does excavation cost in Salem?

Excavation in Salem 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 OR permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 26 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Salem clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Power Concrete Cutting & Demolition, Inc. covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Salem: excavation, demolition, concrete & foundations and hauling & materials. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Which Salem contractors install septic systems?

3 of the Salem 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.

Which excavation contractor in Salem is rated highest?

Roth Construction is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Salem list, at 5.0 stars from 15 Google reviews. Of the 26 contractors working Salem, 17 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.5).
