From WWII roots to farmland heritage (and yes, a little grading too) — here are a few things you might not know about Butner and how JG Grading & Landscaping ties into it.
Butner is best known for Camp Butner, a massive World War II training facility that covered more than 40,000 acres and trained thousands of soldiers. The layout of the town’s streets still reflects its military origins.
Butner is home to the NC State University Beef Cattle Field Laboratory, which contributes research and innovation to the state’s farming community.
With a mix of farmland, industrial sites, and residential properties, Butner property owners often call us for land clearing, driveway installation, and pond building to make their land more usable.
Serving Butner means working in a town that has transformed from farmland to a place of history, research, and growth. Every project here is a chance to help landowners build on that legacy with reliable results.
Personal stories of transformation from our happy clients
Did a great job clearing several acres of our property that had become overgrown. It was a difficult job and they took extra care to not damage any trees. They also did a great job regrading the areas that were very uneven from past work others did on the land. Easy to work with, responsible and professional. I highly recommend them.
John is a true professional that knows his business. Stayed in contact before the job was done. Showed up on time and did a great job straightening out some erosion problems I had and gravelling our driveway. Highly recommend.
Had JG Grading and Landscaping out to my new construction home for a driveway and grading job. He did a fantastic and quick job at a reasonable price. His attention to detail was top notch concerning the design of my new driveway. Highly recommend!
