LAYING A FIRM FOUNDATION
Founded in 1983 by Greg Rogers, Plateau Excavation began with leased machines and small jobs. Following the banking industry crisis of the early 80s, Rogers saw opportunity in the rapid growth of the Atlanta area and dove headfirst into excavation. Plateau's growth started with grading streets in budding subdivisions and parking lots for shopping malls while relying on solid knowledge of finance and business growth. Through hard work, late nights, strong mentorship relationships and unbreakable spirits, Plateau Excavation grew steadily to become the top construction and excavation company in the Southeast.
The early days of Plateau Excavation set the tone and spirit in which the company still operates today.
