About earthwork contractors in Tacoma

The 29 earthwork contractors working Tacoma, Washington spread across the trades rather than stacking in one: excavation (21), demolition (14), hauling & materials (5) and driveways & gravel roads (3). Clean Slate Hauling And Junk Removal Tacoma leads the list on Google at 5.0 stars from 270 reviews; across all 25 rated listings the average is 4.7, and 18 sit at 4.5 or higher. 6 of the 29 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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma: questions

How much does excavation cost in Tacoma?

Excavation in Tacoma 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 29 contractors above and describe the same scope to each, or the numbers will not be comparable.

Can one contractor in Tacoma clear, grade and dig?

Yes, and it is usually the cheaper route because you are not paying for a second mobilization. PNW Excavation covers 5 of the earthwork trades on our records, the widest in Tacoma: 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.

Which Tacoma contractors install septic systems?

1 of the Tacoma 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.

Clean Slate Hauling And Junk Removal Tacoma is the highest-rated earthwork contractor in our Tacoma list, at 5.0 stars from 270 Google reviews. Of the 29 contractors working Tacoma, 18 are rated 4.5 stars or higher (the list averages 4.7).
