Simpson Trucking And Grading

What Simpson Trucking And Grading does

Simpson's Trucking & Grading Inc. is a family-owned site development contractor founded in 1984 by James E. Simpson and now led by his son Greg Simpson, operating from a recently opened facility in Talmo, Georgia. The company delivers turnkey site preparation for commercial and residential projects across North Georgia, managing the full lifecycle in-house from raw acreage to finished pad, including land clearing, erosion control, underground utilities (water, sewer, storm), grading, excavation, and stabilization. It also operates a retail mulch and materials yard (Simpsons Mulch Yard) in nearby Gainesville, selling mulch, soil, sand, decorative stone, and construction rock with delivery (20-yard minimum) and pickup options. The business is structured around four integrated service lines: Turnkey Site Development, Prime Contracting, Sub-Contractor earthwork, and Trucking & Hauling, supported by an owned fleet of dump trucks, bulldozers, excavators, loaders, motor graders, skid steers, and rollers equipped with Topcon and Trimble GPS for precision grading.

The company is a privately held Georgia corporation holding a Georgia State Underground Utility Contractor license, which permits in-house execution of utility scopes that many grading-only competitors must subcontract. Its customer base spans three segments: General Contractors and Developers (primary, B2B project work), Project Owners seeking prime-contractor accountability, and Homeowners/Landscapers purchasing materials from the mulch yard. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct — phone inquiries, online quote requests, and walk-in/phone sales at the mulch yard — supplemented by a Facebook page and a service-portfolio website. Pricing is quote-based for construction services and unit/volume-based for materials, with no disclosed subscription, recurring, or SaaS-style contracts. Marketing language emphasizes a "Simpson Standard" of hands-on, family-led execution and seamless single-point accountability across the site work scope.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is founder/family-owned with no institutional investment, no M&A history, no disclosed headcount, and no public filings. Strategic posture is regional and operationally integrated rather than technology-led, with moats rooted in 40+ years of local reputation, owned-fleet economics, and licensed underground-utility capability. Recent activity — facility relocation, materials product-line expansion, and adoption of Paycom-based HR tooling — is consistent with steady, incremental scale-building within the North Georgia market rather than aggressive geographic or product expansion.
