Founded and operated locally, John Smith Excavating was built on a strong work ethic and a deep understanding of the unique desert terrain that defines the Lake Havasu area. Unlike out-of-town contractors, we know the soil conditions, hardpan layers, rocky slopes, and drainage challenges that are common throughout Havasu, Desert Hills, Yucca, Parker, Topock, and Mohave Valley. This local expertise allows us to deliver accurate cuts, stable grading, and trenching that meets safety, inspection, and construction requirements the first time—without delays or rework.
