About earthwork contractors in Tyler

Excavation dominates the Tyler list: 27 of the 31 contractors show it, with land clearing (7) and demolition (6) behind it. LongHorn Dumpster leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 41 reviews; across all 26 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 24 sit at 4.5 or higher. 5 of the 31 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. 1 runs mobile with no yard address; most directories drop those outfits, we flag them and keep them. Prices in Tyler 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 Tyler: questions

How much does excavation cost in Tyler?

Excavation in Tyler 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 31 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Tyler clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. SMG Concrete And Dirt Work covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Tyler: 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 Tyler?

7 of the 31 Tyler 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 Tyler contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Tyler listing carries septic installation. That is installers, not tank pumpers: we drop the pump-and-haul outfits because a new tank, drain field or leach bed is an excavation job. Septic work is permitted and usually needs a perc test before anyone digs, so start that conversation well before you want the machine on site.

Which excavation contractor in Tyler is rated highest?

LongHorn Dumpster is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Tyler list, at 5.0 stars from 41 Google reviews. Of the 31 contractors working Tyler, 24 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.7).
