What people are saying:
“We recently hired Circle J Earthworks for a residential demolition project, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly respectful of our property and timeline.
They handled everything with precision and care, making what could have been a stressful process smooth and seamless. Communication was top-notch — we always knew what to expect and when.
Thank you again for an amazing job!”

“Circle J Earthworks removed three 100-foot pines and several smaller trees from our lot. They carefully removed and reinstalled a section of our fence, pulled every stump, and graded the area. Excellent work, fair pricing, and they left everything clean. Highly recommend!”
