Why Roxboro Trusts Us

Personal stories of transformation from our happy clients

I have a small lot in the River Ridge campground that I recently purchased that needs some grading and landscaping work done to prepare for a garage. I called many local businesses that took my message and never called back, or the ones I talked to never showed up to give me an estimate on the work I needed done. When I came across JG Grading & Landscapings ad I read about the history and life story how they made their business so successful by honest hard work and satisfying customers needs. When I called, John answered and told me he was going to be in my area in a couple of days he'd be glad to come out and give me a estimate on the work I needed. When he arrived he was very professional and polite nice person to talk with. He looked my lot over and told me he couldn't give me estimate at this time because of not knowing the exact property lines, my fault for not having a survey done beforehand. He spend quite a bit of his time looking walking checking the grade difference explaining everything. I really appreciated him coming out and I hope he can come back soon now I've had property surveyed. I'll give part 2 of my review once work has been completed. Thank you John.

We recently had the pleasure of working with John from JG Grading and Landscaping, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the service we received. From the very start, John took the time to meet us on-site and truly listen to our needs. He provided professional advice on what should and shouldn’t be done, without trying to upsell unnecessary services. What really stood out was how John offered us several options, including more budget-friendly alternatives. He walked us through the pros and cons of each option, giving us all the information we needed to make an informed decision. His honesty and transparency made us feel confident in our choices. John was also a pleasure to work with—very personable, approachable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. We highly recommend his services to anyone in need of grading or landscaping work. We’re thrilled with the results and will definitely be calling him again for future projects!

Excellent service. Mr. Glover worked with requirements involving setbacks, complex drainage and a substantial elevation buildup to create a new property contour perfect to build our house and large garage. He accurately estimated the materials and labor, and Mr. Glover's suggestions during excavation and grading proved invaluable, ensuring pleasing aesthetics and proper drainage.
