Excavation Companies in San Diego: common questions

How many excavation companies are there in San Diego?

We list 66 excavation companies with a Google Business Profile within about 25 miles of downtown San Diego, CA, including land clearing, demolition and grading contractors. Another 44 profiles were left out as duplicates, closed or suspect. Last update October 2026.

Which excavation company in San Diego has the most reviews?

Are the excavation companies in San Diego still active?

22 of the 66 companies listed in San Diego received a Google review in the last 12 months, and the newest review we have for any of them is from October 15, 2026. Each card shows its reviews in the last 12 months.

Do I need to call 811 before digging in San Diego, CA?

Yes. Before any digging, trenching or grading, California law requires a locate request through 811, by phone or on the California 811 center's website, usually two to three business days ahead. It is free. Your contractor should open its own ticket; ask for the ticket number before work starts.

Do I need a permit to demolish a house in San Diego?

Almost always. The city or county building department issues demolition permits and usually asks for utility disconnect letters first. Many places also require an asbestos survey before demolition, and federal rules require notice at least 10 working days ahead for most buildings other than houses of four units or fewer. Ask the contractor who pulls the permit.

When is the best time to book land clearing or excavation in San Diego?

Nationally, searches for land clearing peak in September and March, and searches for excavation in March and April; both are lowest in November and December. Book a few weeks ahead of those peaks. Wet or frozen ground can delay grading and clearing in any season.

Is there an excavation company near San Diego if none of these fits?

The nearest cities we cover are Los Angeles (111 mi, 202 listed). Many crews travel for larger jobs; each profile shows the service area the company states.
