About Circle J Earthworks
Site Preparation Contractor in Rockwell, North Carolina
Veteran owned and fully insured since 2019
Our Story
Circle J Earthworks is a family business built on service, integrity, and hard work. Founder John Michael Johnson served 11 years in the U.S. Army with tours in Iraq and Qatar. After a training injury, he was medically discharged as a First Lieutenant in 2015 and began looking for a second career that kept him outdoors and helping people. With a family background in farming and construction, site work was a natural fit. He launched Circle J Earthworks in 2019.
In 2023, John’s wife Erin joined the team after 17 years as a Registered Dietitian. She manages scheduling, communication, and the details that keep every project moving smoothly.
