I love my fence that John and his team built for me. He created exactly what I needed and the workmanship is outstanding. It’s been one year now and it is just like the day it was installed, strong and beautiful. John was so easy to work with and communication was spot on. I highly recommend J Johnson’s excavation company.

J Johnson is an exceptional company. I had them remove and replace my privacy fence. John and his crew were professional. Gave me an agreeable estimate for the job, showed up on time and I am very satisfied with their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We have had issues on our mountain property with an overflowing culvert. It has been replaced several times. Jonathan designed a bridge that not only looks beautiful, but has given us the peace of mind that that area will no longer be washed out. He is very pleasant and very easy to work with
