R.D. Johnson Excavating was founded by Roger Johnson in 1974 with a dump truck and a backhoe. In the last 40 years the company has grown to become the largest excavating company in Lawrence, Kansas. R.D. Johnson has added utility work, a recycle center and an asphalt plant over the years to better serve the Lawrence community.
