Whether you’re in historic Uptown with its red-brick storefronts, near lakes like Hyco or Mayo needing waterfront land work, or further out in agricultural parts of Person County, JG Grading & Landscaping delivers grading, excavation, and site prep work you can depend on. From ponds and roads to full site packages, we partner with Roxboro landowners to transform land safely and sustainably.
From historic mills and lakeside recreation (and yes, a little grading too) — here are a few things you might not know about Roxboro and how JG Grading & Landscaping ties into it.
Roxboro is named after Roxburgh, Scotland, was once called Mocassin Gap, incorporated in 1855, and has a rich textile history including the Roxboro Cotton Mill and its historic downtown commercial district.
The Personality Festival, held in Uptown Roxboro every October, draws people from across Person County for food, vendors, live music, and family fun, making it one of the biggest local celebrations of the year.
Because Roxboro mixes older neighborhoods, historic lots, and lake-front or rural land, property owners frequently require driveway installations, land & lot clearing, and drainage solutions to protect against runoff and maintain access.
We’re proud to serve Roxboro because its history, natural beauty, and commitment to community reflect the same values we bring to every project — longevity, care, and quality workmanship rooted in respect for land and heritage.
Personal stories of transformation from our happy clients
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.
