J.B. Coxwell Contracting

10/29/2026

Across Northeast Florida, our crews are clearing sites, moving earth, and performing the mass excavation and grading needed to prepare the ground for construction.

From excavators and haul trucks to graders working across the site, it takes experienced crews, equipment, and coordination to keep large earthwork projects moving.

It’s part of the work that helps keep our community safe, accessible, and thriving.

Some chapters come full circle.

For more than 40 years, our original office building has been part of the J. B. Coxwell story. It represents decades of hard work, growth, and the foundation laid by our original owner, John Coxwell.

Now, as we prepare to expand our main office and make room for the next chapter of our company’s growth, we’re saying goodbye to a building that holds so much history.

And in a moment that makes this transition even more meaningful, it’s John’s own grandson, JD, who is taking the building down.

While the building itself may be coming down, the legacy John Coxwell built continues to stand strong. His vision helped create something that has grown far beyond those original walls, and we’re proud to continue building on that foundation.

Honoring where we came from. Building what comes next.

Making space for what comes next starts with doing the work responsibly:

Before a site can be cleared for its next phase, our team works through permitting, including environmental requirements, utility disconnects, water management, and the other details each project calls for.

We also separate materials wherever possible to reduce unnecessary hauling and limit what goes to the landfill.

The Baptist Hospital garage demolition is a good example of that approach. Our team carefully removed the four-story parking garage while working close to an active hospital campus, where minimizing noise, dirt, and disruption was a key part of the job.

Did you know concrete, asphalt, and other construction materials can be recycled and repurposed instead of going unused?

At J.B. Coxwell, we use crushing and screening to turn construction debris into usable aggregate for:

-Drainage
- Stabilization
- Parking lot bases
- Driveways

For larger projects, we can bring our portable crushing and screening units directly to the jobsite for immediate recycling and repurposing of the material. We also offer off-site crushing and screening, depending on what the project calls for.

We’re proud to introduce our new Structures Division, an exciting addition to the work J.B. Coxwell is already doing across Northeast Florida.

Our team can now take on an even broader range of structural work, including bridges, bulkheads, pile driving, floating docks, concrete piers, fender systems, maritime demolition, and more.

For us, this division is a natural next step. Since 1983, we’ve built our reputation by taking on complex heavy civil projects and doing the work the right way. Now, we’re bringing that same experience and commitment to even more projects on land and over water.

What do you think of the final result?

At SilverLeaf in St. Johns County, our team completed 7.5 miles of new roadway construction, along with improvements, realignment, and widening to SR 16 and CR 16A. The project also included full utility infrastructure to support the development of 3,500+ lots in North St. Johns County.

Since 1983, J.B. Coxwell has been building the infrastructure that helps keep Northeast Florida communities connected and moving forward.

At J.B. Coxwell, we approach sitework, grading, drainage, underground utilities, roadways, and site preparation with the future in mind. That standard is reflected in projects across Northeast Florida, from roadway and utility improvements along SR200 to industrial development at Crossroads and major utility work at Mayo Clinic.

The work below the surface plays a critical role in how a site performs, expands, and serves the community over time. Our responsibility is to build it right from the start.

Faith. Family. Work.

What makes the difference between a solid foundation and one that settles over time? Proper compaction.

Properly compacting the soil and aggregate creates a stable base that supports the road above it and holds up over time. It may be one of the less visible parts of our job, but it plays a big role in helping prevent settling, rutting, and cracking later on.

That’s why we take the groundwork seriously, because strong infrastructure starts with a strong foundation. See how J.B. Coxwell is helping build Northeast Florida from the ground up at JBCoxwell.com

For the Beach Boulevard project, our team rebuilt a major urban intersection while coordinating with local businesses, limiting traffic disruption, and maintaining access to nearby hospitals and a fire station.

Careful planning helped keep traffic moving, businesses accessible, and essential services connected throughout construction.

At , we build infrastructure that supports how communities move, operate, and grow.
