Gibbs Grading & Land Management provides large-scale mass grading for subdivisions, commercial developments, industrial sites, and multi-acre projects across Polk County, Bartow County, Floyd County, and all of NW Georgia and NE Alabama.
When You Need Mass Grading
- Subdivision development — grade entire neighborhoods to finished pad elevations
- Commercial site pads — level large areas for retail, warehouse, and industrial buildings
- Road construction — cut and fill for new road beds and access roads
- Multi-acre developments — move thousands of yards of earth efficiently

Mass grading is different from standard site grading. It involves moving large volumes of earth across a site to achieve designed elevations. Gibbs Grading has the heavy equipment fleet — dozers, excavators, scrapers, and compactors — to handle mass earthwork projects throughout Cartersville, Rome, Cedartown, Rockmart, and the surrounding region.
Our Mass Grading Process
We start with your civil engineer plans and stake the site to design grade. Our crew strips topsoil, performs rough cut and fill operations, compacts in lifts to specification, and finishes to within tolerance. We coordinate with your general contractor, civil engineer, and inspectors to keep the project on schedule.
Developers and general contractors in Bartow County and Floyd County trust Gibbs Grading for mass earthwork because we have the equipment to move dirt efficiently and the experience to hit grade the first time.

How long does a mass grading project take?
Mass grading timelines depend on the volume of earth, weather conditions, and site complexity. A typical subdivision pad may take two to six weeks. Gibbs Grading coordinates with your project schedule.
