Talk directly with Matt — honest answers, no pressure.
Waterfront problems don't fix themselves.
A leaning retaining wall. A shoreline that gives up a little more ground every spring. A dock that's seen better days. On Nebraska's sandpit lakes, small waterfront issues don't stay small — wave action, ice, and spring high water turn them into expensive emergencies.
And around here, the hardest part is often just finding a marine contractor who returns your call.
That's not how we work. When you call Outback, you talk to Matt.You get an honest assessment of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what it takes to do the job right. Then you get a crew that shows up when they said they would.
Marine construction is all we do.

Operated
Owner-operated since 1998. On your shoreline, not in an office.
Docks, seawalls, retaining walls, barge work, and beach reclamation are specialized work — the equipment, the engineering, and the judgment come from years on the water, not from general contracting. Matt Wesch has been building on Nebraska lakefronts for more than 25 years, and he's on your project personally.
We'll tell you the truth. If a repair can wait a season, we'll say so. If it can't, we'll show you why. We use premium materials because on the water, cheap materials fail — and we stand behind every job we finish. Ask around your lake.
Straight answers.
An assessment from Outback is an honest read on your shoreline — not a sales pitch.
We answer the phone.
Clear communication from first call to final walkthrough. It shouldn't be rare in this business, but it is.
Built for this water.
Every wall, dock, and beach is designed for the specific conditions of Nebraska sandpit lakes: sandy soils, ice heave, boat wake, and spring water swings.
