The Triangle Business Journal recently sat down with our founder and president, Tyler Marks, for its Executive Voice series.

The profile traces the Marks story from the start. In 2018, Tyler launched the company with a single Bobcat, grading driveways and taking on small clearing jobs for anyone who needed the work done. The approach was simple from day one: do honest work, stay dependable, and treat people fairly. Those relationships are what built the company.

Today, Marks Clearing & Grading is a turnkey sitework contractor focused on large residential and commercial developments, operating within a 75-mile radius of Raleigh. The company employs 215 people, runs a fleet of 265 pieces of equipment, and carries an estimated $135 million backlog of work for 2026.

The feature also covers MC&G Capital, our land acquisition and development arm. Through Capital, we acquire, entitle, and develop land to deliver finished lots to national homebuilders; allowing Marks to manage a project from raw land all the way to build-ready development, and to strengthen long-term partnerships with builders, municipalities, and the communities we work in.

Tyler credits the company’s growth to its culture and its people, and points to a clear goal ahead: scaling responsibly while protecting the values of faith, family, and excellence that define Marks.

Congratulations Tyler, and thank you to every member of #TeamMarks who makes this growth possible every day.
