About earthwork contractors in Franklin

EarthworkScout lists 13 earthwork contractors working Franklin, Tennessee: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 11 of these Franklin listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.8 stars, and 9 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, land clearing, drainage & ponds and demolition. 2 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 Franklin 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 Franklin: questions

How much does excavation cost in Franklin?

Excavation in Franklin 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 TN permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 13 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Franklin clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Claiborne Services LLC covers 5 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Franklin: excavation, land clearing, trenching & utilities and drainage & ponds. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.

Who does land clearing in Franklin?

4 of the 13 Franklin 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 excavation contractor in Franklin is rated highest?

Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Franklin list, at 5.0 stars from 148 Google reviews. Of the 13 contractors working Franklin, 9 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.8).
