How We Work

A straightforward process from first call to finished yard.

No surprises. No disappearing acts. Just honest work from assessment through completion.

01

Start with the site.

We look at the grade, drainage, access, and how you want to use the space. The property tells us what it needs before we discuss materials or scope.

02

Build a clear direction.

We discuss the right scope, materials, and next steps for the property. You will know what we are building, why, and what to expect at each stage.

03

Build it to last.

We carry the project through with careful workmanship and straightforward communication. The goal is a finished yard that holds up for the long haul.

Featured Work

Real projects. Real results.

A selection of completed projects across the Omaha metro. Each one started with a problem—a slope, an unusable space, a yard that didn't match the house.

Mikiel is a great communicator and easy to work with. I have purchased timbers from him twice. Both transactions were fantastic.

Schmidt Construction is great! Used them for years for everything from retaining wall, kitchen remodel, patio and recently replaced a shower unit. They go above and beyond and always clean up after themselves!
