About earthwork contractors in Charlottesville
EarthworkScout lists 12 earthwork contractors working Charlottesville, Virginia: the excavators, land clearers, grading crews and septic installers you can compare side by side instead of opening a dozen tabs. 9 of these Charlottesville listings carry Google reviews, averaging 4.4 stars, and 6 are rated 4.5 stars or higher. Between them they cover excavation, demolition, drainage & ponds and land clearing. 1 of them handle three or more of these trades, which matters more than it looks: a single outfit that can clear, grade and dig takes a lot from raw to pad-ready without a handoff, and handoffs are where a schedule slips. Earthwork in Charlottesville is priced by the job rather than by a rate card, so the sensible move is to describe the same scope to two or three contractors and compare what comes back. Every listing here is built from public business data and the full set of categories a firm is filed under, and a service we do not show simply means we found no evidence of it, not that they turn the work down. Updated for 2026.
Excavation in Charlottesville: questions
How much does excavation cost in Charlottesville?
Excavation in Charlottesville 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 VA permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 12 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.
Can one contractor in Charlottesville clear, grade and dig?
Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. Aardvark Demolition Excavation Land Clearing Ponds covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Charlottesville: excavation, land clearing, demolition and drainage & ponds. Use the filters above to stack the trades your job needs and see who covers all of them.
Who does land clearing in Charlottesville?
1 of the 12 Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville contractors install septic systems?
1 of the Charlottesville 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 Charlottesville is rated highest?
BroHaul LLC is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Charlottesville list, at 5.0 stars from 52 Google reviews. Of the 12 contractors working Charlottesville, 6 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.4).
