About Us

A measured expansion. A consistent standard.

JL Earthworks & Design LLC is the next chapter of a family-owned business with deep industry roots. Predecessor JL Excavation LLC was founded in 2005 and incorporated in 2013 in northern New York, earning a strong reputation for safe, dependable earthwork and utility work — municipal water and sewer, commercial site development, and large-scale excavation.

In 2024, the business was reestablished in Oklahoma as JL Earthworks & Design LLC — heavy construction experience paired with in-house GPS machine-control modeling. Today the company delivers complete site preparation and utility construction for commercial and municipal projects.

We install and connect critical utility systems — water mains, sanitary sewer, and stormwater drainage — to engineering standards and local regulations.
