"Paul answered my request promptly - was well prepared for the interview ( pictures of walls and blocks available) he listened to what we wanted and was able to work with in our budget and the time frame that we needed. The workers that he sent out to replace the wall were very polite and were experienced in what they were doing. They did a great job and cleanup. I highly recommend Paul Greenway and will look forward to working with him on other projects."

"R&R Hauling is a great company! We requested for them to clear out a severely overgrown backyard full of chest-high, woody weeds and 1-2 inch thick saplings after the task proved to be too big of a job for my family to complete in a timely manner. I've always been incredibly anxious about paying for labor, as I catastrophize about worst case scenarios all the time, but when I reached out to Robert and his team, I was quoted a much better value than I had expected! Once the job was completed, Robert made sure we were happy with the work. I would definitely recommend his team to friends and family given the opportunity, and they will be the first business we call, should any other major yardwork be required on the property. Thank you so much, Robert and team!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Uncovering buried concrete rubble or unknown fill material in older Omaha neighborhoods requires extra removal efforts. High water tables near creeks demand unexpected dewatering equipment. Excavating can also expose deteriorated clay sewer lines that require immediate repair. Other hidden expenses include mandatory soil remediation for contaminated dirt, expired utility locate re-notification fees, and mandatory arborist assessments if digging encroaches on protected tree roots.

Helpful?

Older Omaha homes with fragile rubble stone or brick foundations often require extra shoring during excavating. Review your property for mature trees, as local preservation ordinances restrict digging near large root systems. Steeply graded lots with retaining walls complicate equipment access. Additionally, properties in central neighborhoods with aging combined sewer infrastructure face complex, shallow utility conflicts that require careful navigation by a professional.

Helpful?

Proper excavating transforms wet, unusable basements into comfortable living spaces and allows for the addition of storm shelters, which are essential in NE. Addressing drainage corrects standing water issues in your yard after heavy spring rains. This work also significantly lowers indoor humidity and mold risks while protecting your foundation from the damaging expansion of local clay soils.

Helpful?

Postponing excavating projects in NE increases the risk of chronic basement flooding and foundation damage. Expansive clay soils shift and crack foundations when drainage issues remain unresolved. Unaddressed trenches left exposed through winter face severe frost heave damage due to deep frost lines. Delaying work also causes utility locates to expire, requiring re-notification, and leaves slopes vulnerable to embankment failure during spring floods.

Helpful?

Omaha experiences over 100 freeze-thaw cycles annually, causing significant soil movement in expansive clay. Inspect excavated areas and re-grade them after winter and spring thaws. Check for backfill settling around foundations or utility trenches. You should also clear sediment from drainage channels annually and inspect slopes for erosion after heavy spring storms. Follow up on any required public works inspections for permitted excavating work.
