Before the build,
there is the ground.
Access, grade, drainage, and what is below the surface all shape the work. A few clear details help a contractor understand the site before quoting it.
Explore the guideA locate ticket is not optional
Public utilities should be marked before a bucket goes in the ground. In Washington that request goes through Washington 811. A private line, like power to a shop or a propane run, may not show up on a public ticket. Mention what you know is buried when you describe the project.
Spokane Excavation Co does not locate lines, pull permits, or operate equipment. Contractors who respond are responsible for their own licensing and insurance. You can check Washington registration yourself through L&I's guide to hiring a contractor.
Coverage is the Spokane area: the cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Deer Park, and Cheney, plus Mead and Nine Mile Falls. See the service area page for how those places differ. A contractor may still decline a site that is too far or too tight for their machine.

A few straight answers.
Know how the request works.
Does Spokane Excavation Co do the digging?
No. Spokane Excavation Co is a referral service. Independent contractors do the work, set the price, and carry their own registration and insurance. We share your request so they can contact you.
How many contractors receive my request?
Up to three independent local service providers. Your request is not posted on this website. You decide whether to hire anyone.
What does it cost to request quotes?
Nothing. The referral is free. A contractor's price, if you hire one, is between you and that contractor. Consent to be contacted is not a condition of any purchase.
What should I include in the project details?
Say what you want dug or cleared, the rough size, whether a machine can reach the spot from the driveway, and whether soil can stay on the property. A ZIP code or city is enough for location. You do not need a survey to ask for quotes.
How much does excavation cost?
National cost guides, including HomeGuide's excavation cost overview, often put a typical residential yard-grading job around $1,000 to $5,000, with smaller touch-ups lower. That is a U.S. estimate, not a Spokane average and not a price from this site. Rock, access, and haul-off move it. Each contractor sets their own price.
