Synopsis: Our driveway desperately needed an overhaul at a vacation home in Blairsville, GA. Our…read moreroofer referred us to Mike Whittemore Jr, Owner/Operator of GA Mountain Grading, LLC, and what an absolute blessing it turned out to be! I am retired from the military and have had a certain level of expectation groomed into me for many years, and I can tell you that it was an absolute privilege to witness someone combine pride in a job well done and customer satisfaction again! These are qualities often overlooked these days and was like a breath of fresh air to know that our money had been well spent. Not only would I refer this man, but I would also say that I prefer this man! Summary: The use of the driveway had been limited to one end because of two exceptionally large holes to the right of the driveway at the other end. They had begun to slowly consume the driveway over the past few years. After fine tuning the details and materials, my wife had signed a contract to have the reasonably priced work performed and was then told by Mike that he put her on the schedule and should take about two or three weekends to get to it. I called Mike and explained that the property was for sale and would prefer not to wait that long. I fully expected an attitude and argument with a chance of attitude and name calling, which did not happen. My jaw hit the floor when Mike said that he could bring one of his machines over that evening and asked if it would be okay to do the work at that time of day to get it done in a timelier manner. Mike used his excavator to dig as far down the two holes as possible and then replaced the dirt 6-8 inches at a time while tamping each layer with the excavator bucket until the dirt had been replaced. This process was so effective that four truckloads of dirt were brought in to top off the holes back to ground level. The existing driveway was graded and the edges tamped down and made ready for the next step. The A-Base was brought in and evenly spread, followed by a layer of clean stone. Not only did we have our driveway back, but Mike explained that the much-used end of the driveway was extremely hard and suggested we forgo the A-Base at that end and exchange it for an additional load of clean rock on top. It saved us nearly $100, looks great, and functions very well. Prior to Mike leaving, he went out of his way to clear and redefine the existing ditches to ensure that rainwater would be appropriately guided to prevent erosion. Mike also made sure to clean the rock from the road, better defining the contrast of white clean rock and the blacktop of the road. This was something I never considered but it improved the curb appeal of the property. My friend, God bless you, your family, and your business.

For this type of work, I highly recommend Conley Contracting. Not only does he live and work here,…read morebut he has done this work his entire career. He trained in large city infrastructure and residential work, and spent almost a decade working in and around Atlanta before moving back to Blairsville where he was born and raised to run a family owned, bonded and insured business and raise his children outside the city in the mountains. Josh is both talented and an expert in his field. He is also honest, reliable, and fair with his pricing. You can count on him to treat you like family. He did wonderful work laying drainage lines, fixing our water leakage in our basement, and re-grading our entire property to resolve drainage problems. He also laid a gorgeous patio. 10 out of 10. Bottom line? A good man with excellent skills. Sure there are lots to choose from, but Josh understands that he will see you again and that his word is his bond, and he treats you as such. We have him lined up to install a driveway on another property next.

After spending thousands we were frustrated to say the least. There are so many "contractors" yet so few with real skills. Owning equipment does not mean you know what you're doing.

Trustworthy, professional, social, and they really know what they're doing. They did lots of grading, some driveway work, stump removal, and installed a new septic system. We are extremely pleased and look forward to having our paths cross in the future.
