Reviews of local pros in Johnson, Vermont

Extremely pleased and satisfied with the driveway paving project VT Outdoor Services completed last week. Communications and timing were spot on; pricing was fair; job was done right by their hardworking crew. We'd recommend highly.

We hired VT Outdoor Services to build a shed pad in our backyard and couldn't be happier with the results. The work was done professionally, the quality is excellent, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend them for any outdoor project!

Being new homeowners in the area with a surprise sinkhole in the yard and a leaking foundation (that didn't show up on inspection,) we were thankful and relieved to find Hugh @ VT Outdoor services. We initially called 3 companies, 2 of which kicked the can down the road. Hugh on the other hand was out to our house in 24 hours to access our situation. He thoroughly investigated the root causes of our property's water issues and provided us with a comprehensive drainage and foundation repair plan/quote the following day.

Large equipment was carefully placed in our yard and a stellar crew was able to detach our deck, completely excavate the perimeter of our house, repair the foundation leak, and more importantly create a drainage system that now moves any and all water away from the home. They also discovered that the footing drain installed when the house was built in the 90s was improperly placed. Best part is this whole project was wrapped up in 2 days during sub zero temps in February leaving us with no worries and a dry basement for the Spring melt. When the project was completed in less time than expected, Hugh reduced the amount of the quote.

Can't thank these guys enough! They check every box, do highly skilled & careful work, and provide an exceptional level of communication during what is an extremely stressful and urgent situation for any homeowner. 👊🏼

It was a pleasure doing business with Hugh. He made sure that we were satisfied with the work and came back on several occasions to ensure that we were happy. I would highly recommend vt outdoor services. I've attached before and after photos. He put in roughly 500 ft of French drains. Our lawn was unusable and a swamp before he started and now our kids are able to play safely back there.

Hugh and his team we great. He shows up when he says he is going to, is very professional and communicates everything they are doing and finds out exactly what you need before they start. Graded our very long driveway and put down gravel. It has been less than 24hrs and I have had 3 compliments on how it looks already.

We hired VT Outdoor Services for a semi overhaul of our driveway and overall was pleased with the experience/results. Hugh checked in with us numerous times throughout the process, was able to flex and add in extra work ditching, widening a section, and replacing a culvert. The end results exceeded my expectations, especially with them using the roller for compaction. Hire them!

Hugh is fantastic to work with and responds quickly and kindly. These guys work hard and do a great job. They replaced our large culvert and stabilized a sinking driveway. Prices couldn't be beat, very reasonable. I have recommended them to my family and friends and would suggest you give them a try.

We were lucky to connect with Hugh and his team to take care of our driveway repair last fall. They were friendly, professional and promptly got our driveway in great shape before the snow arrived. We were very pleased with the outcome and the driveway looks like it will hold up to mud season perfectly. We highly recommend them for your outdoor projects. Hoping we have an opportunity to work with VT Outdoor Services for our future property needs. Thanks Hugh and team…. We appreciated your help and service!

If you need someone to plow who wont destroy your driveway, this is it.

Excellent services at our property. Timely and communication is excellent in addition to great work. Thanks for everything you do for us.

I was actually inspired and my cynicism shattered by Jeremy and Stephanie. Above and beyond doesn’t begin to describe the quality of their service. I was in a do or die situation when the propane truck couldn’t get up my drive. No one would help until I got JJ Plowing. They seem to view their work as a mission. Gratitude is a excellent virtue

I’ve never used JJ’s services, but; Today I found myself broken down and stuck in the travel portion of the roadway (rt. 15) just prior to a crest in the hill. Not safe. With me standing, tow strap in hand for just over 5min as truck after truck drove past; JJ was the only one to stop. The moment he stepped out of his truck he was positive, professional, and polite. Taking only 3min. out of his day, shows me he’s a business owner with a heart, not something you find much these days!

JJ and his crew are amazing. They’re so responsive to our needs and communication is first class. This is a truly professional business.
Now to talk about their work! This crew does such an amazing job. They’re work cleanly and efficiently meeting all our plowing needs. Long serving veterans that show up every time you need them.
Thank you JJ and you hard working team.

While I haven’t used JJ’s plowing services, he helped me out when I slid off an icy road and my car was stuck in a snowbank. He was the only person to stop, and had me out within 10 minutes… and even gave me a few zip ties to temporarily reattach my muffler! JJ is a great businessman and such a kind person, and I’m lucky that he was in the area!

This is the third year that Jeremy, Stephanie, and their Green Mountain Crew have been instrumental in helping me to keep my driveway ready, and safe, throughout the winter season. If I need assistance, with driveway care, in between the times he, or his crew, help to clear, or sand it, Jeremy is just a phone call away ! I also enjoy his up-dates on in-coming weather, and road conditions, so his customers are aware of what to expect.

For the past 3 days, August 21-23, 2025, Jeremy has worked diligently to rebuild my driveway. From our initial conversations regarding what I was wanting to achieve, and his expertise and advisement, my driveway is the best it has ever been ! I highly recommend him to anyone who is needing driveway repairs.

Ask yourself what you want from a plowing business that takes care of your driveway.
1. You need a company that is competent and reasonably priced.
2. You need a company that will come the day of, and right after, a storm.
3. You need a company that will come back multiple times in the event of long-duration storm - especially if you have a problem with drifts due to wind.
4. You need a company that is setup for sanding and comes during and after ice-events.
5. You need a company that pays extra-attention to your driveway before the ground freezes - because we all have experienced plow guys ripping up parts of our lawn.

Well I can tell you that the people that work for JJ's are extremely conscientious and treat your driveway like it was own. I've watched these guys - before the ground has frozen - pull snow (as opposed to pushing snow) off my parking area (a lawn in summer) - to make sure the turf isn't ripped up. That kind of attention to detail and respect for the customer is hard to find. And JJ's also a full-service lawn care business.

I can't recommend these guys enough! Give them a try - you will be happy you did.
