Nelson County

Built on hard work,
rooted in family

J. Johnson Excavation And Fencing LLC was founded in 2015 with a clear purpose: help people turn their property goals into real, finished results at prices that make sense. What started as one person's drive to build something lasting has grown into a full-service excavation and fencing company serving homeowners, landowners, and property managers across Central Virginia.

We built this company on a simple belief. Hard work, honest pricing, and showing up ready to do the job right should never be hard to find. That belief shapes every project we take on, whether we're clearing a raw piece of land, installing a fence line, or hauling material to prep a site for construction.

I love my fence that John and his team built for me. He created exactly what I needed and the workmanship is outstanding. It’s been one year now and it is just like the day it was installed, strong and beautiful. John was so easy to work with and communication was spot on. I highly recommend J Johnson’s excavation company.

Terry Stone Google review · March 2026

J Johnson is an exceptional company. I had them remove and replace my privacy fence. John and his crew were professional. Gave me an agreeable estimate for the job, showed up on time and I am very satisfied with their work. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We have had issues on our mountain property with an overflowing culvert. It has been replaced several times. Jonathan designed a bridge that not only looks beautiful, but has given us the peace of mind that that area will no longer be washed out. He is very pleasant and very easy to work with
