For excavation and site work

Dirt work quoted by the acre, before the first call.

“Need some land cleared” costs you a drive out to find two acres of cedar on a slope. Collect the acreage, location, what’s on it and the deadline up front, and spend truck time only on the jobs worth it.

What your buyers search

What landowners and builders search.

A lot of dirt work is rural, so buyers search by county and by the job, not by city. Builders and developers search for capability. Your pages should read the way both of them search.

  • land clearing near me
  • excavation contractor
  • house pad construction
  • land clearing cost per acre
  • forestry mulching
  • pond digging contractor
  • driveway grading
  • site prep for new construction

The work worth chasing

  • Land clearing and mulching

    Acreage jobs for landowners getting ready to build, fence or graze.

  • Building pads and site prep

    Pads, grading and prep for homes and shops, often for builders who hire you again.

  • Ponds and drainage

    Stock ponds, drainage fixes and culverts, where local know-how wins.

  • Commercial site work

    Bid work for developers and general contractors, with deadlines and scopes.

What goes wrong

Where dirt-work jobs cost more than they should.

The work is out in the field. The waste usually starts before the truck leaves the yard.

  • Vague requests waste truck time.

    A phone message with no acreage, no address and no description means a site visit before you can even say whether it is your kind of job.

  • Rural buyers search by county.

    A landowner outside town searches “land clearing” plus the county or the nearest small town. A site with one generic service page doesn’t show up for any of them.

  • Commercial bids have deadlines.

    Developers and general contractors put bids out with due dates. If your equipment and past site work aren’t easy to find, you are not on the list that gets the invitation.

  • Weather wrecks the schedule.

    Wet weeks push every job back. Without a backlog of quoted work, a dry stretch after the rain goes to whoever answered first.

Who buys and when

Three kinds of dirt-work buyer, three timelines.

A landowner, a builder and a developer buy the same equipment time in completely different ways.

  1. Landowners

    Buy land, clear it, build

    Usually after a land purchase, before a house, barn or fence. They search by county and want a price per acre.

  2. Builders

    Pads on a build schedule

    Home and shop builders need pads and grading on a date. Reliability wins repeat work, so reviews and responsiveness matter.

  3. Developers and GCs

    Bids with due dates

    Commercial site work goes out to bid. Capability pages, equipment lists and past projects get you invited.

  4. All year

    Weather sets the pace

    Wet stretches stack up demand. A pipeline of quoted jobs means the dry days are already sold.

In measurement

What we built

Land clearing and excavation contractor. We built a quote-form lead pipeline tuned to commercial bid windows, so estimate requests land structured and ready to price instead of as loose phone tag.

The engagement is underway and the measurement window is open. Numbers publish here once they verify.

How you pay

How a dirt-work plan is built.

Every plan is built from the same three parts. What changes by trade is what counts as a lead and how long a job takes to close.

What counts as a lead

A quote request from a landowner, builder or developer inside your haul radius, with a location, rough acreage or scope, and a timeline.

What does not

A request for a job you don’t do, a site far outside your radius, or a “how much for a load of dirt” call with no job behind it.

  • A monthly retainer

    Covers the site, the county pages, SEO and the Friday read, so the pipeline keeps building through wet weeks and slow months.

  • A price per qualified lead

    A set price for each quote request that meets the definition above, with the details you need to price it.

  • A share of each closed job

    A share of each job that signs from those leads, from a one-acre clear to a commercial site package.

What counts as a lead is agreed before work starts. Prices depend on your market, so we quote them on a call. No setup fee.

Questions owners ask

About marketing for excavation contractors.

Most of our work is rural. Can search still find us?
Yes. Rural buyers still search, they just search by county and small town. A page for each area you serve, with the work you have done there, is how you show up.
Can the form tell a homeowner pad from a commercial bid?
Yes. It asks who the buyer is and what the job is, so a landowner clearing two acres and a developer sending a site package reach you labeled differently.
Can you help us get on commercial bid lists?
We can make your capability easy to find and easy to judge: equipment, past site work, service area and a clear way to send a bid invitation. Getting invited is still up to the GC or developer.
We are booked months out. Why market?
To choose the jobs. With more requests coming in than you can take, you keep the ones with the best margin and the shortest haul, and you have a backlog when the weather turns.
Do we need photos and video?
Before-and-after photos of your own jobs help more than anything else on a dirt-work site. Phone photos taken on the job are fine.
How do you charge?
A monthly retainer, a set price per qualified quote request and a share of each job that closes from those leads. Prices depend on your market, so we quote them on a call.
