My name is Jake Dodge and I’m the Owner/Operator of Deep South Grading. I’ve been around heavy equipment for as long as I can remember. I grew up learning the trade alongside my dad, long before I could run the machines myself, which has given me a true lifetime of experience in the land management world.

For the past 10 years, I’ve proudly carried on the family business, taking the traditional values I was raised with to deliver precise, dependable results. I take a lot of pride in my work, and I genuinely enjoy what I do. Every project is approached with the same care and hopes to build a lasting relationship.

When I’m not on the job, I’m at home in Gainesville, Georgia, with my wife and our two dogs, Sadie and Tucker. Being locally owned and operated means my reputation matters, and I’m committed to providing honest work, clear communication, and results my customers can trust.
