About earthwork contractors in Greenville

The 16 earthwork contractors working Greenville, South Carolina spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (10), grading & site prep (6), demolition (5) and land clearing (3). American Drainfield Septic Service leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 75 reviews; across all 12 rated listings the average is 4.8, and 10 sit at 4.5 or higher. 3 of the 16 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. Prices in Greenville 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 Greenville: questions

How much does excavation cost in Greenville?

Excavation in Greenville 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 SC permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 16 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Greenville clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Houston Grading and Hauling covers 5 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Greenville: excavation, grading & site prep, demolition and driveways & gravel roads. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Who does land clearing in Greenville?

3 of the 16 Greenville 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 Greenville contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Greenville 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.

Which excavation contractor in Greenville is rated highest?

American Drainfield Septic Service is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Greenville list, at 5.0 stars from 75 Google reviews. Of the 16 contractors working Greenville, 10 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.8).
