About VT Outdoor Services

The Lamoille River runs slow and brown-green through Johnson, past the old mill blocks and up into hillsides of maple and ledge, and that ground — gravel here, hardpan there, water always looking for somewhere to go — sets the terms for every job. VT Outdoor Services works it directly: septic installation and repair, drainage systems from gutter lines to french and footing drains, lot clearing, overall site work and excavation, backyard expansion and refresh projects, and roads and driveways built new or brought back with grading, gravel and paving. There is a real satisfaction in a driveway that sheds a March thaw instead of holding it, in a hillside lot opened to afternoon light, in a yard that finally drains the way the valley intends. Come winter the same machines turn to snow removal, so a Vermont dooryard is open and passable before the light has climbed back over the ridge.
