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.

Expert Land Clearing in Nelson County, VA
Land clearing in Nelson County, VA comes with real challenges. Properties here sit along the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills, where steep slopes, dense hardwood growth, and uneven terrain are common. J.Johnson Excavation And Fencing LLC handles tree and brush removal, stump grinding, debris hauling, and site grading so your land is ready for its next use. Whether you are preparing a building pad, opening pasture for livestock, or reclaiming overgrown acreage, we work the site to match your goal. Nelson County's rural character means many parcels have not been touched in years. Heavy root systems, rocky soil, and drainage shifts after vegetation removal all require hands-on planning before equipment moves. We assess each property before we start so the cleared site holds up over time. If you own land near Lovingston, Nellysford, Afton, or anywhere in the county, call us to talk through what your property needs.
