Gates Mulching and Excavation, LLC | Application Preview
Gates Mulching and Excavation, LLC is seeking government grants to expand its operations by acquiring more trucks and machinery for hauling materials. By achieving more self-sufficiency, the business aims to eliminate the costs associated with outsourcing hauling services.
The business plan focuses on increasing capacity to handle gravel and soil deliveries for various construction projects, including house pads, ponds, and driveways. Currently, the company owns two new pieces of equipment, one older machine, a semi-truck, and two trailers, and employs one motivated individual who has recently graduated with relevant qualifications.
The owner emphasizes their dedication and long hours of work, highlighting a commitment to customer satisfaction, evidenced by positive reviews. They also point to their status as a veteran-owned and fully VA disabled business, framing this as a key reason for funding approval.
In terms of competition, they recognize established players in the market, including Gilliam Environmental, Bennett Dirtwork, and Jennings Trucking, each with their own advantages. However, the owner believes that their determination, community service ethos, and commitment to quality service give them a competitive edge. They focus on delivering results right the first time, establishing a reputation that sets them apart.

Business Plan
More machines, and more trucks to haul gravel and soil to focus on house pads, ponds, and driveway construction either new or existing construction. I am a veteran owned and operated company that is 100% VA disabled. I started my business from nothing and now have 2 new pieces of equipment, 1 older piece, my own semi and 2 trailers. I wake up early and put long hours into this. I have 1 employee that is a self driven man that just graduated Pontotoc Technology Center in Ada OK for heavy machine operated with his CDL so he is very ambitious. We strive to make every customer happy at what we do, even it takes longer than we anticipated. Customer satisfaction as you can tell from my reviews is all we want!

Self Identified Competition
Gilliam Environmental. Has contacts through prior working for ODOT. Bennett Dirtwork. Has been handed down the business from family. Jennings Trucking. Is a multi generation trucking business that runs multiple trucks that have been passed down to him. The fact that I am veteran owned and operated and do not use my disability as a crutch, instead I push harder to make a name for myself and strive to do it right the 1st time so nobody can ever say we didn’t complete a job to the fullest. Also strive to serve my community and give back as much as my small business can.
