Excavation in Texas: questions
Which Texas cities have the most excavation contractors?
Houston with 73, Dallas with 60, San Antonio with 54, Austin with 52 and Grand Prairie with 49 lead the Texas list. In total we cover 452 cities in the state, 1720 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Texas?
There is no Texas rate card: contractors quote after seeing access, soil and haul distance. As national reference points, small residential digs commonly land between $1,500 and $5,000, land clearing runs about $1,500 to $5,000 an acre, and a conventional septic install is $5,000 to $15,000. Describe one identical scope to two or three of the 1720 Texas contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Texas contractor clear, grade and dig?
336 of the 1720 contractors we list in Texas show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is A.M. Pitts Construction in Leander, covering 6: excavation, land clearing, demolition and trenching & utilities. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who does land clearing in Texas?
305 of the 1720 Texas listings show land clearing: taking trees, brush and stumps off a lot before anything can be dug or built. Clearing is priced per acre and moves hardest on tree density and the debris plan (mulch on site, burn, or haul off), so settle the debris question first. Filter any Texas city page by "land clearing" to see who takes it.
