About earthwork contractors in Seattle

Excavation dominates the Seattle list: 22 of the 26 contractors show it, with demolition (10) and concrete & foundations (7) behind it. Action Junk Hauling Seattle North leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 43 reviews; across all 19 rated listings the average is 4.8, and 16 sit at 4.5 or higher. 7 of the 26 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 Seattle 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 Seattle: questions

How much does excavation cost in Seattle?

Excavation in Seattle 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 WA permit and dig-safe process adds. Call two or three of the 26 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Seattle clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. ACES FOUR Enterprises - Sewer Repair & Replacement covers 4 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Seattle: excavation, demolition, trenching & utilities and drainage & ponds.
