Our Story

Our company was founded on a simple principle: to provide the best excavation services with integrity and hard work. For generations, we have served our community, building a reputation for reliable work and a commitment to our clients.

Jake continued in the footsteps of his father, Carl Johnson, who worked hard to establish trusted businesses in Jefferson County, including Carl’s Building Supply, Carl Johnson Trucking, and Carl H. Johnson Clams & Oysters. Carrying on that legacy of integrity and dedication, Jake established his own excavation business in 1991. Joined by his wife Kristen, they continue to serve the community with professionalism and quality workmanship.

Built on a foundation of integrity, hard work, and quality craftsmanship, the business has earned a solid reputation for dependability and excellence. Over the years, Jake and Kristen have been fortunate to build lasting relationships with their customers, many of whom return time and again because they trust them to get the job done right.

They take pride in giving back to the community that has supported them, and they approach every project as an opportunity to serve their neighbors with honesty and professionalism. Handling both residential and commercial projects, they provide solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of every job site.
