OUR HISTORY 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.
