A LEGACY OF LAND DEVELOPMENT
A LEGACY OF LAND DEVELOPMENT
We’ve spent more than five decades building expertise in land development planning and execution for commercial, municipal and residential projects. Today, we offer our customers an unbeatable combination of advanced technology, comprehensive services and a customer-first mindset that would make our grandfather proud. Our team of professionals harness advances in technology to enhance every step of the process, from planning through execution. Whether it’s a backyard retreat or a 300-acre development, we help our clients bring their vision to life.
OUR
HISTORY
Everything we do today and plan for tomorrow rests on the work of those that came before us.
The story begins with our grandfather, Albert Reesman.
Albert worked for a local farmer in Union Grove who owned an Insley track cable excavator. This experience was the inspiration that led him to purchase his own Insley excavator and started his own business in 1947 with a partner. The two partners were successful and became one of the larger contractors in Racine County, but both had health problems and in 1968 they ended operations.
Starting over in 1970, with Alberts guidance and experience behind them, Albert’s sons Mike and Greg, and a handful of truly dedicated employees, built the company from the ground up. The company focused on Grading and Underground utility construction. The Reesman family values of hard work and service to the customer were always reinforced.
In 1993 the next generation, Alberts grandson’s, started working in the business. Albert passed away that same year unable to further witness the full extent of the legacy he had created. Over the next 10 years all of Greg and Mike’s sons joined the business. (JR, John, Chris, Eric and Adam). All worked in the field and learned construction hands on. A full technical skill set was the foundation for development of this next generation.
Reesman’s Excavating & Grading, Inc. added Aggregate operations in 2007. In 2012, we added The Reesman Service Corporation- expanding our offerings to include landscaping and light construction. In 2018, the company divisions were consolidated and branded as The Reesman Company.
Today, our company is better, stronger and more diverse than ever before. Our technology, services and methods have advanced, but the Reesman core values remain intact. We still build every project as if were our own. The success of our customers and their projects is the ultimate measure of our own success.

TESTIMONIALS
They stay ahead of the project, very proactive – there is never any surprises. We use them for the entire project; soils/grading, excavation, utilities, and landscaping. Their ability to provide these services together gives us synergy and accountability on our site.

They help us solve and prevent problems. They are extremely organized – keeping things on time with quality work. They always meet their deadlines.
VP of a Commercial and Residential Builder in Southeast WI
Reesman’s provides the true cost and scope of the project. Their extensive knowledge of sitework and landscaping really helps us plan well. They stick to their word, they do not play games and underbid projects and then ask for change orders. It allows us to accurately forecast our budgets. From the beginning of the project they treat it as if it is theirs.
