About Ground Builders Landscaping Co.

Waterloo sits along the Platte River on the western edge of the Omaha area, low ground that holds a hard frost long after the sun is up elsewhere in the county. Ground Builders Landscaping Co. carries its landscaping equipment into winter for snow removal, reading a driveway or a lot for grade and drainage the same way it would size up a summer yard. The river bottom here can trap fog and cold air through a January morning, so a driveway cleared at first light may still need ice treatment well into the afternoon. Properties around Waterloo get plowed and, where needed, treated against the refreeze that collects in low spots near the river. By the time the fog burns off the bottomland, the driveways this crew has cleared are holding steady underneath it.
