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.

Custom Fire Features

Natural fire boulders are custom-made, unique fire features made from boulders excavated from the earth. Each one is a unique feature that won’t be found anywhere else. Fireplace options are designed and built to meet your space, style, and usage. The design options are endless.

Custom Woodworking Services

Customized wood structures are the perfect complement to the beautiful landscaping in your yard or green space. Well-designed and built wood structures, such as decks, gazebos, arbors and three-season rooms, enhance your home or business while expanding your outdoor living space so you can enjoy the natural world around you.

The Reesman Company designs and builds features with both natural wood products and composite materials for residential and commercial applications, delivered by our highly trained and experienced team of professionals. Our custom woodworking services are backed by the same expertise, quality and service that our residential and commercial customers have come to expect from us.

Retaining Walls and Structural Design

Our team is experienced in designing structures that will make your space more comfortable and well-defined. We work with natural elements in your property to create a clear structure that will safely guide users through the landscape. This also breaks up empty spaces and creates functional outdoor areas.

For example, retaining walls are one way we use structures to emphasize and define space in your landscape. Retaining walls are designed to support soil between different elevations, often in areas with slopes or hills. We design and build retaining walls that add function, style and aesthetic appeal while maximizing usable land area for buildings, road construction or parking lot space.

We deliver a seamless experience by offering excavating, site work and land preparation – all from one source – to the landscaping process. When you work with us, you can better manage costs, timelines and schedules, while enhancing efficiency and communication throughout the process.

RETAINING WALLS

Retaining walls are designed to support soil between different elevations, often in areas with slopes or hills. They’re also often used to emphasize and define space in your landscape. They can be designed to fit any style and material choices, from the natural feel of boulder walls to the clean lines of brick, to meet your vision or the needs of your yard. We design and build retaining walls that add function, style and curb appeal to your home while increasing your outdoor living space.

Testimonials

I want to compliment you on the magnificent landscaping that [the crew] did at our residence in Lake Geneva. From my initial call to your organization to set an appointment through the design and installation we were totally satisfied. [The crew] made the process streamlined and efficient. [They] responded to our questions, concerns, likes and dislikes. Our final design is exactly what we hoped for. We are continually being complimented on the final look. Most impressive is the stone retaining walls the crew magically made happen. They dealt professionally with a neighbor’s concern regarding lot lines and set back. The deliveries adhered to our Homeowner Association requests, and the work crew worked efficiently and always with a smile and pleasant demeanor.

Homeowner, Lake Geneva, WI

Your crew worked safely, respected and watched out for my family, and installed a very nice patio fireplace and retaining wall. …nothing was more important to me then [your crew] safely installing my project. If they hadn’t done it safely, I could never enjoy the patio as much as I do.

Homeowner, Burlington, WI

Courteous, conscientious and hard-working crew; a team who did not have blaring music playing as many crews do these days, nor did they litter our yard at any time. All of them were friendly, happy and accommodated any requests I had. [Their team] is top-notch; listened to my ideas and considered my suggestions. I especially appreciate the way we batted thoughts back and forth. [They] were exceptionally patient with my concerns and anxieties about every aspect of the project. Each time I had a question (and there were many via email) [they] replied quickly. If they didn’t have the answer they got back to me when they did. I’m glad we went with [The Reesman Company]; a local company capable of giving a genuine friendly, neighborhood feeling who truly strive to satisfy the most discriminate home owner.

Homeowner, Burlington, WI

We had a terrific experience with everyone at the [The Reesman Company]. From design layout to installation, all went smoothly. We absolutely love our landscaping and paver patio. We would highly recommend to any one and would use them again for future projects. Thanks for everything!

Homeowner, Burlington, WI
[They] were very helpful getting our new yard set up for a seeded lawn. [Their] crew were on time and did a great job grading the yard, dropping topsoil, seeding, and covering it with straw. One month later I have a real lawn, which is growing fast and looks great. I highly recommend [The Reesman Company] for your residence or corporate facility.

Homeowner, Kenosha, WI

Very responsive, great to work with, high quality. Keep up the great work.
