Building and operating in the Blue Ridge Mountains is fundamentally different from flatland trade work. From weathered granite outcrops and heavy clay soil runoff to extreme winter freeze-thaw cycles, Tate's Grading (Colton Enterprises) utilizes heavy-duty equipment specifically tailored to steep topography and local environmental codes.
"Colton and the Tate's crew carved out our steep mountain homesite in Hendersonville through solid granite. Their Peterbilt dump trucks and Kobelco operators are absolute masters."
"Tate's Grading installed our complete mountain driveway and septic system in Flat Rock. Heavy rains hit right after and not an ounce of gravel washed out. Unmatched quality."
