About Jones EarthWorks

Hi, I'm Wade Jones

I own Jones EarthWorks LLC, and "own" is doing a lot of work in that sentence — I'm also the estimator, the operator, and the guy who answers the phone. I started this company in Adams County because I saw the gap from the customer's side: the big excavation outfits don't want a half-day pad job in Byers, and the guy-with-a-tractor crowd doesn't always have the insurance, the equipment, or the follow-through. There's a wide-open middle of honest, right-sized dirt work, and that's where Jones EarthWorks lives.

My setup is deliberately simple. One operator — me. One main machine — a Bobcat E42 mini excavator, which is big enough for real excavation, grading, pads, culverts, and trenching, and small enough to work around your house and trees without destroying your property getting in and out. When a job genuinely needs more iron than that, I'll tell you up front instead of pretending otherwise.

A few things I believe about this work, because they shape every quote I write: I walk every job site myself before I price it — I don't trust customer measurements, satellite photos, or my own memory of a property, because dirt doesn't care about any of those. I put estimates in writing. I show up when I say I will. And if a job isn't right for me — too big, wrong trade, outside my area — I'll say so and, when I can, point you at who it is right for.

Jones EarthWorks is fully insured (liability and equipment coverage through Selective Insurance), based in Strasburg, and built mostly on word of mouth across Strasburg, Bennett, Byers, Watkins, and the surrounding corridor. When you hire this company, the reputation on the line is my family's name — and I run every job like it.
