Owner/operator Jason Pronovost has been working in natural building and permaculture since 2010. After building multiple homes, both natural and conventional, with various owner-builders, Jason built his own 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom straw bale house from foundation to finish. He then went on to work with a natural building education and affordable housing organization, Community Rebuilds (CR) in Moab, Utah. Jason was a natural building instructor for CR, working with a team of interns and professionals to build 12 homes. After earning the necessary experience and certifications to become a Utah licensed General Contractor, Jason decided to start his own building company, Rooted Earth Construction.

Jason and his crew at Rooted Earth get 5 out of 5 stars for their excellent work on a design/build project to enclose my patio with trellis on 2 sides, including a gate to my backyard. This custom project demanded expertise in design, ordering custom materials, and precise staining and construction. Jason listened closely, designed just what I was looking for, and carried it out on-time and on-budget. I highly recommend Jason and his Rooted Earth crew. They were all very pleasant to work with, and I am so pleased with the result! -Nancy W, Moab UT

“Working with Jason and his team was a pleasure, from start to finish. They designed a metal and wood fence and gate for us, and the resulting product looks wonderful. It was easy to maintain regular communication with Jason, and he and his team were kind and conscientious. Since our fence was built during a pandemic, we were grateful that they were extra precautionary regarding Covid 19. “
