Excavation dominates the Bethlehem list: 16 of the 18 contractors show it, with demolition (2) and driveways & gravel roads (1) behind it. Dreisbach Bruce G leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 6 reviews; across all 11 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 9 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 run mobile with no yard address; most directories drop those outfits, we flag them and keep them. Prices in Bethlehem 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 Bethlehem: questions

How much does excavation cost in Bethlehem?

Excavation in Bethlehem 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 PA 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.

Who does land clearing in Bethlehem?

1 of the 18 Bethlehem listings show land clearing work: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot so it can be dug or built on. Filter by "land clearing" above to see just those. Clearing is priced per acre and swings hard on tree cover and what happens to the debris, so ask early whether they mulch on site, burn, or haul off.

Which Bethlehem contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Bethlehem 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.

Dreisbach Bruce G is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Bethlehem list, at 5.0 stars from 6 Google reviews. Of the 18 contractors working Bethlehem, 9 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.7).
