Bit of History

The year was 1951 and the reason was the "Big Kansas Flood". Max, George and John Rieke ventured into the excavating business. It was somewhat of a part time business. It began as a truck farming business. A high-loader and a dump truck were the only pieces of equipment. As the time passed the truck farming business descreased and the excavating business increased. George and John got involved in digging basements and Max started building ponds, terraces and anything else that a loader and dozer could do. The first place of business was 12101 West 55th street, the place where they were all born and rasied. The first office was in Max’s garage on 55th street. There was no shop so oil changes and all mechanical work had to be done lying on the dirt ground.
