Excavation Companies in Detroit: common questions

How many excavation companies are there in Detroit?

We list 153 excavation companies with a Google Business Profile within about 25 miles of downtown Detroit, MI, including land clearing, demolition and grading contractors. Another 115 profiles were left out as duplicates, closed or suspect. Last update October 2026.

Which excavation company in Detroit has the most reviews?

DEMOLITION MAN has the most Google reviews of any company listed in Detroit, with 199. Ratings and counts come from Google at the last refresh; open a profile to see how recent the reviews are and which jobs customers mention.

Are the excavation companies in Detroit still active?

73 of the 153 companies listed in Detroit received a Google review in the last 12 months, and the newest review we have for any of them is from October 14, 2026. Each card shows its reviews in the last 12 months.

Do I need to call 811 before digging in Detroit, MI?

Yes. Before any digging, trenching or grading, Michigan law requires a locate request through 811, by phone or on the Michigan 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 Detroit?

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 Detroit?

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.
