Pond Builder and Land Contractor in Walnut Cove, NC
A Local Crew for Walnut Cove Land
J.S. Excavation is a family-owned business on Rothrock Road, just outside Walnut Cove. When you call, you talk to the person who will walk your land and run the machine. Because we are close, we can get out to look at a property quickly, and moving equipment to a Walnut Cove job costs very little.
The ground around town is classic Stokes County: red clay hills, pasture draws, creek bottoms along Town Fork Creek, and plenty of land that has grown up in pines and briars since it was last farmed.
Ponds Around Walnut Cove
Much of the clay here holds water well, which is why there are so many farm ponds in this part of the county. We build farm ponds for livestock and irrigation and fishing ponds for the family. Before you call anyone, read how to tell if your land will hold a pond. It covers the soil, slope and water questions we check on every site.
Clearing, Grading and Drainage Close to Home
Not every job is a pond. We clear home sites with land clearing, open up overgrown fence lines with forestry mulching, cut drives and pads with excavation and grading, and fix wet yards with French drains and swales. Small jobs in Walnut Cove are welcome.
★★★★★
We had ongoing issues with water pooling and flooding in our front and back yard, and Justin from J.S. Excavation did an excellent job helping us fix it. He gave a clear evaluation with multiple options, explained everything in a way we could easily understand, and was honest about what would and wouldn’t work. Justin was responsive, professional, and took the time to make sure the solution was done right. Our yard is already draining so much better. Highly recommend J.S. Excavation & Land Management.
