3J'S EXCAVATING

3J's Excavation started from simple roots. In 2009 owner Josh Gaerte purchased a John Deere 490E excavator for clearing off land he purchased. His uncles and dad owned an old Td6 international track loader that was converted to a dozer. After finishing his home project he was approached by others asking to do work. Josh started by digging irrigation pipelines, clearing fence rows, and digging basements. As word grew so did the services Josh provided. His mechanical engineering degree, upbringing around heavy machinery, and devotion to studying and learning excavation practices increased his skills and abilities to better server his customers and branch out into other areas in the trade. This was all happening on the side as Josh worked as a full time engineer.
