About earthwork contractors in Sumter

Excavation dominates the Sumter list: 6 of the 8 contractors show it, with land clearing (3) and demolition (2) behind it. L&L Enterprises LLC leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 10 reviews; across all 7 rated listings the average is 4.6, and 6 sit at 4.5 or higher. 3 of the 8 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 Sumter 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 Sumter: questions

How much does excavation cost in Sumter?

Excavation in Sumter 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 8 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Sumter clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. State Tree Services, Inc covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Sumter: excavation, land clearing, demolition and hauling & materials.

Who does land clearing in Sumter?

3 of the 8 Sumter 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.
