About earthwork contractors in Houston

The 73 earthwork contractors working Houston, Texas spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (43), demolition (33), concrete & foundations (11) and trenching & utilities (10). Goldmine Dumpsters leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 86 reviews; across all 62 rated listings the average is 4.6, and 45 sit at 4.5 or higher. 15 of the 73 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 Houston 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 Houston: questions

How much does excavation cost in Houston?

Excavation in Houston 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 TX permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 73 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Houston clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. American Paving covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Houston: 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 Houston?

8 of the 73 Houston 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.

Goldmine Dumpsters is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Houston list, at 5.0 stars from 86 Google reviews. Of the 73 contractors working Houston, 45 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.6).
