Douglas County rules

Genoa is an unincorporated Douglas County town. We check county requirements, and any historic review, before quoting.

Smaller equipment in tight spaces

Historic lots and narrow lanes call for compact excavators, skid steers and small dump trucks. We protect old walls, trees and walks with mats and keep spoil off the street.

A growing town

Genoa added about 400 residents between 2010 and 2020. New homes and additions on the edges of town bring pad, driveway and septic work along with the historic core projects.
