Excavation in Virginia: questions
Which Virginia cities have the most excavation contractors?
Chesapeake with 18, Christiansburg with 14, Roanoke with 14, Manassas with 13 and Charlottesville with 12 lead the Virginia list. In total we cover 87 cities in the state, 282 contractors between them, and every city page can be filtered down to the specific job you need done.
How much does excavation cost in Virginia?
There is no Virginia 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 282 Virginia contractors listed here; the quotes that come back beat any published range.
Can one Virginia contractor clear, grade and dig?
46 of the 282 contractors we list in Virginia show three or more earthwork trades, and hiring one of them beats paying two mobilizations. The widest on our records is Green Earth Landscaping, LLC in Leesburg, covering 5: excavation, land clearing, drainage & ponds and driveways & gravel roads. Open any city page and stack the job filters to find the firms that cover your whole scope.
Who does land clearing in Virginia?
30 of the 282 Virginia 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 Virginia city page by "land clearing" to see who takes it.
