A Family Culture
People Are the Heart of Plateau
We work best when we serve others, from our employees to our customers and our community.
We believe that time spent with loved ones is vital, and since our beginnings, we have always put people first. We are a family of employees dedicated to not only the success of Plateau but also the success of each other.
Putting the Hat Down
We are a company that operates like family. One notable way we do this within our field teams is by “Putting the Hat Down,” which is a mission-forward way the team raises money for one another when a crew member is facing a hardship or tragedy.
Fulfilling Our Promise to Commitment through the Plateau Classic
Plateau launched the Plateau Classic in 2024, a golf tournament to raise money for charitable causes. The first annual Plateau Classic took place in September 2024 and raised $100,000 for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorders Center.
Our goal for the 2025 tournament is to raise $125,000, benefiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Aflac Cancer & Blood Disorder Center. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has been the place Georgia families rely on for specialized pediatric care for more than 100 years.
The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s is a national leader in pediatric cancer and blood disorders treatment and research. They compassionately treat each child’s unique needs and develop a special treatment plan for the child and the whole family, starting from day one. This center is near and dear to the heart of Brad Carroll, Plateau’s President and CEO, who had a family member receive treatment at this center. Brad saw this center truly from within, and since then, has been a supporter of this organization.
Reaching Our Community with My Friends and Me
Family time is special, and sharing Thanksgiving meals together is a time that should be cherished. One of the ways we serve the children in our community is by providing a Thanksgiving meal. Not only does the Thanksgiving meal fill a basic necessity for families in need, but it also enables children to make priceless memories surrounded by people they love.
In 2013, the non-profit, My Friends and Me, was formed. Working with guidance counselors at local school districts, Plateau Excavation and My Friends and Me identified families in need of a Thanksgiving meal and anonymously provided the supplies for an entire meal. While we started by providing Thanksgiving meals for 80 families through the local schools, we now provide 1,500 Thanksgiving meals each year for families who otherwise might not be able to afford this special meal.
Through My Friends and Me, Plateau is able to serve children in our community. The majority of all contributions that assist with supplies are made by clients, vendors, suppliers and other corporations that have a long history of working with Plateau Excavation.
Whether it’s moving tons of soil across a worksite, helping employees reach personal goals or providing for children and their families in our community, Plateau Excavation works hard to serve others.
