Learn More About A & J Development & Excavation Inc

A & J was founded by brothers Andy and J.C. DePoy in August of 1985. Andy became the sole owner in 1995 and expanded A & J to the successful business it has become today. In April 1999, A & J bought its first curb machine, concrete forms and hired additional employees to begin our Concrete Team. In May 2001, A & J acquired experienced crane operators, certified blasters, equipment operators, and more with the closing of David A. Reed & Sons, founded in 1947. This added to our Excavation Team and began our Crane Team.

January 2004 brought more additions to A & J with the closing of Monger Brothers in Elkton, Virginia. A & J expanded by purchasing rock trucks, track drills, and a blasting truck. Former Monger employees including the owner, M.L. Monger, Jr. joined A & J to enhance our Blasting Team and Drilling Team. In February 2005, A & J once again expanded by offering asphalt paving. The Asphalt Paving Team gave A & J the ability to offer a complete earthworks package: excavation, concrete, crane service, drilling, blasting, and paving - all of your site work under one roof.

In March 2006, A & J added Topcon’s 3D GPS grade-control system to our equipment. Electronic grade controls put an entire project’s model in the memory of a computer in the machine’s cab. This technology has given us a better way to control our job site. Operators are no longer dependent upon grade stakes and can grade with complete accuracy.

In 2010, A & J lost its founding member with Andy’s passing. Andy’s vision continues with the management he had in place. With the A & J Team, the hard work of its employees, and the use of the latest technology, A & J continues to grow and remains one of the most successful site management businesses in the Shenandoah Valley.
