Since 1997, Vertical Earth has cooperated with both public and private clients to construct civil and structural improvements throughout the Southeast.  We are a licensed GA General Contractor, GA Utility Contractor and are a GDOT prequalified Prime Contractor. We also maintain General Contracting licenses in other states. Our corporate philosophies of self-performance of the majority of scopes within each contract and re-investment into company assets allow us to accomplish our overall goal: satisfying the goals of our clients.  From aggressive schedules to highly sensitive sites, each project has unique needs that are best controlled by seasoned staff accustomed to working with one another in familiar elements.  As evidenced by a 2007 Inc 5000 award, Vertical Earth’s approach towards value and quality have successfully gained the trust of both new and repeat clients.  

Our experienced team includes an active President, Brett Johnson, who has been with the company since inception.  Since 1999, Vice President, Russell Swafford has served in the capacity of project manager. Grant Bennett, Operations Manager, completed his military service in 2003 and joined our team to coordinate/allocate both crew and equipment assets.  In 2010, Elliott Batts, joined the team as Project Manager. In early 2014 Steve Vickery brought commercial contracting experience with 28+ years of management experience. Chief Estimator, Phil Stewart, joined VE in September 2007; He is responsible for estimating and project management of engineered structures: retaining walls, reinforced slopes and shoring applications. Jeff Dunwiddie, Preconstruction Director, oversees estimating operations, strategically evaluating both private and public projects to provide cost effective solutions and budgets. Our veteran staff provides our clients with their years of experience, both from a project coordination and management level, as well as with strong field leadership to provide a quality end product.
