Built for North Georgia. Built to Last.
Serving Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Jasper, Blairsville & Surrounding Counties
Explicit Grading & Land Clearing is an Ellijay-based contractor serving the mountain communities of North Georgia with serious land preparation, grading, and forestry mulching work. We show up with the right equipment, do the job right, and stand behind every project.
Our Story
Explicit Grading & Land Clearing was founded right here in Ellijay, Georgia — in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. We were built by people who know this terrain, understand the soil, and respect the work it takes to prepare land in the hills and hollows of Gilmer, Pickens, and Fannin Counties.
We handle the jobs that demand real equipment and real experience. From clearing timber and brush on steep mountain lots to precision grading for homesites, driveways, and commercial pads — every project gets the same attention: the right machine for the job, an operator who knows how to run it, and a crew that doesn't cut corners.
When you hire Explicit Grading & Land Clearing, you're hiring a local contractor who shows up on time, communicates straight, and delivers results you can see. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every site in North Georgia.
The Equipment Behind Every Job
We run professional-grade heavy machinery suited to North Georgia's terrain — steep lots, thick timber, rocky soil, and tight access roads. Our fleet means we can handle residential and commercial land work without subcontracting the hard parts.
Excavator
Our excavator handles deep cuts, stump removal, trench work, and rough grading on mountain terrain where lesser machines can't get traction. Built for precision earthmoving on steep and irregular sites.
Compact Track Loader
Heavy pushing power for clearing timber, stripping topsoil, and moving large volumes of material across wide lots or commercial pads. The workhorse of every major site prep job.
Forestry Mulcher
Our forestry mulcher grinds trees, brush, and stumps into ground-level mulch in a single pass — no hauling, no burning, no mess. Ideal for lot clearing and right-of-way work in North Georgia's dense timber country.
Skid Steer
Compact and highly maneuverable, the skid steer handles finish grading, material spreading, and detail work on tighter residential lots and driveways where full-size equipment can't operate.
Dump Truck
We haul our own materials and debris — fill dirt, gravel, cleared brush — keeping job sites clean and schedules moving without waiting on third-party haulers.
Grading Blade
Precision surface grading for driveways, building pads, and access roads. We achieve the level, compacted finish that foundations, paving, and drainage systems require.
