About earthwork contractors in Providence

The 14 earthwork contractors working Providence, Rhode Island spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (10), demolition (4), snow removal (3) and driveways & gravel roads (2). Powerhouse Junk Removal RI/MA leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 439 reviews; across all 9 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 8 sit at 4.5 or higher. 2 of the 14 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. 1 runs mobile with no yard address; most directories drop those outfits, we flag them and keep them. Prices in Providence 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 Providence: questions

How much does excavation cost in Providence?

Excavation in Providence 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 RI permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 14 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Providence clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. R. Capaldi Enterprise Inc. covers 5 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Providence: excavation, land clearing, driveways & gravel roads and concrete & foundations. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Who does land clearing in Providence?

1 of the 14 Providence 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.

Powerhouse Junk Removal RI/MA is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Providence list, at 5.0 stars from 439 Google reviews. Of the 14 contractors working Providence, 8 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.7).
