We treat your land like it’s our own, because to us, it matters.
How Can We Help?
AVOID COSTLY MISTAKES:
Do NOT hire an excavating contractor without first reading our free guide:
The ULTIMATE Excavation & Septic "Success Guide."
Let’s talk money—because you’re thinking about it, and you should be.
The cost of excavation near St. Maries can vary depending on a few big factors:
Size of the job (clearing a small pad vs. full site prep)
Type of soil (rocky, sandy, or waterlogged?)
Access to the site (tight driveways or steep grades add time)
Permits and prep work
Here’s a rough idea:
Service Type | Typical Price Range (Local) |
---|---|
Small trenching job | $800 – $2,000 |
Land clearing (1 acre) | $2,000 – $5,000+ |
Full site prep | $5,000 – $15,000+ |
We offer transparent quotes—no hidden fees, no upselling. If your property throws us a curveball, we’ll talk through it and adjust together. That’s how we’ve built trust with folks across Benewah County.
We won’t sugarcoat it—excavation can go sideways when it’s not done right.Here’s what we’ve seen in the field:
Water pooling because of bad grading
Over-excavation leading to costly backfill
Inexperienced operators hitting underground lines
Delays from permit issues or poor planning
Drainage disasters after heavy rain
At Western Earthworks, we obsess over the details because that’s what prevents problems down the road. We know the local soil. We call 811 before we dig. We communicate with you the whole way. And we don’t touch the jobsite until you know exactly what’s happening.
