Garrett Jones is a North Carolina native, a die-hard Tar Heels fan, a devoted husband and father, and the proud owner of Cornerstone Concrete and Civil. His wife, Lauren, is a lifelong Roman, growing up in the Coosa community, and as it often does, love helped him find a new place to call home.
It was in Rome that he started his business, and the Rome community fostered its growth. What started in 2008 with two guys and a wheelbarrow has expanded into a company that while primarily serving the Northwest Georgia region, expands into several other states in the Southeast.
Garrett remembers those humble beginnings well
“I was working for a regional company, and they had me on the road constantly,” recalls Jones. “I just remember waking up to leave with my wife still asleep and not wanting to leave. So, me and my business partner started Cornerstone and I’ve been doing it ever since.”
