About earthwork contractors in Memphis

The 24 earthwork contractors working Memphis, Tennessee spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (16), demolition (10), driveways & gravel roads (4) and hauling & materials (2). Midsouth Land Clearing leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 8 reviews; across all 14 rated listings the average is 4.3, and 9 sit at 4.5 or higher. 3 of the 24 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 Memphis 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 Memphis: questions

How much does excavation cost in Memphis?

Excavation in Memphis 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 24 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Memphis clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Concrete Construction Services covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Memphis: excavation, demolition, 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 Memphis?

1 of the 24 Memphis 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 Memphis is rated highest?

Midsouth Land Clearing is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Memphis list, at 5.0 stars from 8 Google reviews. Of the 24 contractors working Memphis, 9 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.3).
