Why Omaha Homeowners Choose Schmidt Construction

Local Expertise With Omaha Terrain and Soil

Omaha has challenging clay soils, hillside neighborhoods, and erosion-prone slopes.

Our walls are engineered specifically for these Midwest conditions.

Built for Strength, Drainage, and Long-Term Performance

A retaining wall is only as good as the foundation and drainage behind it.

Every wall we build includes:

  • Compacted Gravel Base
  • Proper Trench Depth
  • Drain Tile and Gravel Backfill
  • Geogrid Reinforcement (if Needed)
  • Laser-Level Precision
  • Soil Pressure Engineering


This ensures long-term stability—not temporary fixes.
